SPARK Microsystems (Montreal, Canada) was founded in 2016 to bring their deep knowledge of wireless radio development into an innovative UWB radio design. To realize this exciting goal, a management and design team with broad, long-term experience in technology was built, successfully bringing its UWB products to market.
SPARK Microsystems’ patented technology in low data rate applications (e.g., ranging) achieves 100x lower power consumption than today’s UWB radios. Compared with other technologies, like a BLE beacon, 40x power consumption gains are realized with a power consumption of 1nJ per bit.
