}}'''Movandi''' is an American telecommunications company based in [[Newport Beach, California]]. It was founded by Maryam Rofougaran and Reza Rofougaran. The company specializes in [[5G]] [[high frequency]] and [[Millimeter-wave|millimeter wave]] networks by providing scalable, integrated [[Radio frequency|RF]], antenna technology and systems. Movandi provides technology to [[Telephone company|carriers]], [[handset]] providers, wired and wireless companies, and is embedded in [[Semiconductor device|semiconductor chips]] and systems.<ref name=ee/><ref name=ep/>
== History ==
Movandi was founded in 2016 by two siblings, Maryam Rofougaran and Reza Rofougaran. Movandi’s BeamX solutions launched in 2018.<ref name=ee>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1332244|title=5G Startup Aims to Beat Intel, Q’comm|last=|first=|date=|website=EE Times|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref><ref name=ep>{{Cite web|url=https://www.electronicproducts.com/Education/Career/The_top_5_technology_innovators.aspx|title=The top 5 technology innovators|website=Electronic Products|access-date=2018-11-23}}</ref>
In 2018, Movandi, along with [[Qualcomm]], announced an optimized [[RF front end|RF front-end]] (RFFE) module for millimeter-wave bands and said that it is working on a [[Extremely high frequency|mmWave]] front end for handsets. Movandi also announced a device to optimize 5G links across many use cases.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1334331#|title=Qualcomm, Startup Roll 5G Silicon|last=|first=|date=|website=EE Times|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref><ref name=":2" />
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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2019/02/19/movandis-beamxr-offers-large-scale-5g-coverage-with-few-base-stations/|title=Movandi’s BeamXR offers large-scale 5G coverage with few base stations|date=2019-02-19|website=VentureBeat|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-08}}</ref> Movandi has also built a 28GHz box with 39GHz box that is currently in development.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lightreading.com/mobile/5g/movandi-to-extend-5g-mmwave-coverage/d/d-id/749525|title=Movandi to Extend 5G mmWave Coverage|website=Light Reading|language=en|access-date=2019-03-08}}</ref>
