Startup Aims to Reinvent Wireless Communication

A startup company Kumu Networks Inc has announced a new unusual technology that can play an important role in network development by effectively doubling the capacity of both cellular and Wi-Fi communications.

The company was founded by a group of Stanford University researchers who in 2011 wrote a technical paper claiming a breakthrough that made it theoretically possible to carry two-way traffic simultaneously through a given chunk of radio spectrum.

Kumu has already developed prototypes of its inventions, and plans to prove its efficiency in field trials within six months in collaboration with partners. Next year, it hopes to sell boxes that could be used by carriers to ease some kinds of network congestion problems.

"At this point, many people say we have exhausted our tools to improve spectrum efficiency," says Sachin Katti, Kumu's chief executive and co-founder. "Operators, when they look at this, see that there is one big tool left."
