SKYLARK WIRELESS LLC

Skylark Wireless designs and manufactures next-generation wireless systems with an initial focus on bridging the digital divide. That is, over 40 million Americans in rural areas, and over 3 billion people worldwide, can not access broadband Internet, denying them critical education, commercial, and healthcare services. Skylark pioneered Massive MIMO, now a core 5G technology, and designed its software-defined radio (SDR) systems from the ground up for long-range high-speed non-line-of-sight com... munications in difficult terrain. Skylark's patented technologies enable 32+ narrow beams per sector, drastically increasing coverage and capacity per tower, while simultaneously reducing interference. These innovations transform the economics of providing affordable broadband to unserved communities, and unleash the full potential of Massive MIMO in fixed and mobile environments. Skylark is a lean startup with numerous SBIR grants (NSF PI/PII/PIIB, Army PII, Air Force PI), FCC RDOF awards in multiple states, and an $11.7 5G/Next-G Air Force OTA prime contract. As a spin-out from Rice University, Skylark bootstrapped operations by selling next-generation platforms to universities and research labs worldwide, including Microsoft and multiple NSF platforms for advanced wireless research (PAWR) awardees.More
