Decawave Limited


DecaWave is an Irish fabless semiconductor company which develops ICs for indoor location and communication based on its UWB wireless technology platform.

Our ScenSor family of parts for the first time gives developers the ability, to locate indoor tagged objects to a precision of 10 cm at a distance of up to 300 m in Line-of-Sight  mode and 40 m in Non-Line-of-Sight mode.  Our technology allows both accurate measurement of time and data communications to occur simultaneously, enabling applications across a wide range of vertical markets.

Our first chip, DW1000, conforms to the IEEE802.15.4-2011 standard. Many features of our patented technology are attributable to that standard, including our unmatched indoor precision, our range (both line of sight and through obstacles), our multipath immunity, and our immunity from interference.  And in addition to our unmatched precision performance, DW1000 also offers low power consumption in both receive and transmit modes.

DecaWave is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland with offices in France, China, and South Korea.
