Antenova
Cambridge, U.K. Why It’s Fierce: Antenova is one of the most innovative antenna companies we’ve seen. The company’s breakthrough High Dielectric Antenna (HDA) technology, offers a major leap forward in signal strength and data performance by enabling "antenna diversity" in a compact, efficient manner. HDA also works across different types of networks and can be incorporated into many different types of devices. It’s already caught the eye of several handset manufacturers, which currently have the technology under trial. Antenova raised $9.4 million in second-round funding last August and is now pushing to bring its stellar technology to market. What to look for in 2003: Look for Antenova to market its technology as the “missing link†in the struggle to provide data transfer speeds that really deliver on the promise of 3G. |
