As part of the Intellectual Property Accelerator Fund, we are developing a technology that could make high-speed Internet access as widely available as cellphone service by enabling data transmission in a vastly underused region of the spectrum, the millimeter-wave regime. The technology, called a photonic beamformer, uses light in the form of guided laser beams to generate and steer millimeter-wave signals through a wireless communication channel to transfer large amounts of wireless data to users. The project, "Multi-Gb/s Wireless Backhaul Using Photonic Millimeter-Wave Beamforming," involves developing a prototype beamformer and the required hardware and software.
