Sofant Technologies Limited, an Edinburgh, Scotland, UK-based smart antenna designer, secured $2.23m (€1.97m) in funding.
The investment, part of the €3 billion Horizon 2020 SME Instrument programme, will be used to take the company’s patented technology to market.
Led by COO Ahmed El-Rayis, Sofant has developed three core technologies comprising RF MEMS, antenna and software, which will provide a steerable and focused antenna – SmartAntennaTM – that can lock onto the best signal available at any given time.
This technology will be equipped for the new 60GHz Wi-Fi (WiGig) and 5G.
