Radio Stripes
Ubiquitous Distributed Radio Stripes Fabric
Flexible adhesive ribbons containing hundreds of micro-antennas and sensor chips glued onto factory walls, ceilings, and stadium concourses.
Technical Explanation
Radio Stripes represent the ultimate democratization of antenna infrastructure. Instead of mounting heavy base station boxes onto towers, Radio Stripes package micro-transceivers, processing circuits, and power-over-cable lines into flexible, adhesive tape-like strips. These strips are deployed along baseboards, ceiling grids, and industrial machinery, transforming physical rooms into a seamless, distributed MIMO transceiver fabric with invisible zero-footprint aesthetics.
Key Functions
- Ultra-easy installation via flexible, adhesive ribbon form factors
- Distributed processing executed directly along the serial stripe interconnect bus
- Uniform line-of-sight coverage eliminating shadowing and blind spots indoors
- Sub-centimeter localized positioning and integrated radar obstacle tracking
- Massive reduction in cabling weight and installation civil engineering costs
