About TalkingHeads Wireless Inc.
Founded by MIT engineers and headquartered in Boston, MA, THW thinks differently about the way energy is treated in traditional radio design. THW solutions center on the physical design of the RRH and the corresponding proprietary software base in the baseband unit (BBU), which sits at the bottom of the tower and connects the RRH to the core network. Compared to legacy RRH offerings, the THW approach provides 2X reduction in total network operating costs due to significant reduction in power consumption. THW intellectual property includes a substantial patent portfolio around fronthaul and advanced, energy-based technologies. THW is building the only US-based supplier of RRHs, a national security asset for domestic communications infrastructure and a competitive advantage over the oligopolistic RRH market dominated by European and Chinese providers.
