A fabless semiconductor company pioneering energy-efficient wireless edge intelligence solutions recently revealed a sizeable angel investment round.
Vancouver’s Emtar Technologies, established in 2023, announced an $18.5 million round of investment that closed late last year.
Emtar is developing next-generation system-on-chip and semiconductor technologies that integrate high-speed I/O, wireless connectivity, and intelligent self-computing capabilities to deliver higher efficiency across mobile edge, infrastructure, aerospace, and a host of other possible applications.
Founded by a team of engineers, the company says it is “committed to delivering innovative and secure wireless solutions for customers around the world.”
For example, Emtar’s WiFi 7, based on the IEEE 802.11be standard, achieves throughput exceeding 30 Gbps combined with an ultra-low latency of 5ms, and it supports tri-band operation across the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, while enabling configurations of up to 16×16 MIMO and multi-link operation. This particular tech targets VR gaming, cloud computing, and 8K video streaming across mobile devices and connected home systems.
There’s also Software Defined Radio technology, which allows network devices to be upgraded without hardware modifications. This tech boasts potential across healthcare, aerospace, telecommunications, and even the auto and energy sectors.
“The industry is undergoing a paradigm shift,” believes Alvis Huang, who serves as chief executive officer of Emtar.
This funding has accelerated Huang and his team’s efforts to push breakthrough solutions toward real-world use cases.
“With the support of our investors, we have made significant technological advancements,” he stated in February.
“As we push the boundaries of innovation, we remain focused on delivering high-impact solutions that drive efficiency and sustainability,” the CEO continued.
Since securing the capital, Emtar has expanded its research capabilities and deepened collaborations with industry partners, according to a statement from the B.C. firm.
