Partner Lab Network

Collaborative access to mmWave testbeds and anechoic chambers through university partnerships.

Building every facility in-house is neither feasible nor wise for a research-stage company. Through partnerships with universities in China, the United Kingdom, and the United States, our researchers access world-class mmWave testbeds, anechoic chambers, large-scale antenna ranges, and computational resources. This network reflects the academic backgrounds of our team and supports the depth of our experimental work.

01

Why Partnership Matters

Cutting-edge antenna research requires equipment that costs millions to acquire and dedicated staff to operate. Anechoic chambers, far-field antenna measurement ranges, and mmWave/terahertz characterization systems are inherently shared infrastructure—and university laboratories are their natural home. By collaborating rather than duplicating, we focus our capital on research, not on capital expenditures.

02

What We Access

Through our network, our team has access to: full-size anechoic chambers covering sub-6GHz to 110 GHz, spherical near-field scanners, compact antenna test ranges, mmWave channel sounders, and high-performance computing clusters for full-wave simulation. Specific facilities are accessed on a project-by-project basis under formal collaboration agreements.

03

The Academic Connection

Beyond hardware access, these partnerships represent our connection to the global antenna research community. Our researchers were trained in these institutions; many continue to publish jointly with their academic supervisors and peers. This connection is what allows us to track the research frontier in real time, not through journals after the fact.

Key Concepts
Anechoic ChamberA shielded room lined with RF-absorbing material to simulate free-space conditions for antenna measurement.
Far-field RegionThe region beyond a critical distance from an antenna where the radiation pattern is fully formed.
Antenna RangeA test facility designed for characterizing antenna radiation patterns under controlled conditions.
Channel SounderAn instrument that measures the propagation characteristics of a wireless channel.
