Wi-Fi/802.11 has become the ubiquitous wireless connection to the Internet, and is now integrated into hundreds of millions of mobile devices globally. Vivato Technologies was founded to leverage the technology and IP (12+ patents) of a $100M venture backed company (Vivato Inc.) to service the growing demand for mobile broadband through the deployment of “Carrier Class” Wi-Fi switches or access points capable of delivering high-speed wireless connectivity directly to end users at distances exceeding 3 miles. Wi-Fi that as a result of distance and throughput can be collocated and installed like 4G/LTE, thereby significantly reducing Wi-Fi deployment CAPEX today, and OPEX tomorrow for carriers, MSO service providers, and wireless operators. Vivato's Base Stations use phased-array smart antennas to facilitate transmission over highly directed, narrow beams specifically suited for mobile device Wi-Fi. Vivato headquarteres is located in San Diego. Company research and development center is in San Diego, CA. Business Development offices are in Manhattan, NY
