History
Movandi was founded in 2016 by two siblings, Maryam Rofougaran and Reza Rofougaran. Movandi’s BeamX solutions launched in 2018.[1][2]
In 2018, Movandi, along with Qualcomm, announced an optimized RF front-end (RFFE) module for millimeter-wave bands and said that it is working on a mmWave front end for handsets. Movandi also announced a device to optimize 5G links across many use cases.[3][4]
In February 2019, Movandi announced the improvement of the coverage of high-band millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G by introducing its BeamXR repeater later this year. The BeamXR repeater offers large-scale 5G coverage with few base stations. 5G hardware can be installed by using BeamXR.[5] Movandi has also built a 28GHz box with 39GHz box that is currently in development.[6]
Products
Movandi builds mmWave antenna arrays that are designed to be more compact, power-efficient over a wider power range, spectrally efficient, and cheaper to produce.[7][8][9][10]
Movandi has 40 patents designed as a complete system combining the entire front-end and antenna system rather than a mix and match of individual components. It develops RF CMOS across cellular, microwave backhaul, wi-fi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS, NFC, Femto cell, and other standards including the integration of multiple standards into a single chip.[11][12][7][8][4][13]
