Metawave Opens New Development Center In Carlsbad
Metawave, a developer of wireless technology specifically aimed at self-driving vehicles, fixed wireless, and 5G networks, announced on Wednesday that it is opening up a brand new, advanced development center in Carlsbad. The Silicon Valley company--which just raised $10M in a funding round from DENSO, Toyota AI Ventures, Hyundai Motor Company, Asahi Glass , Motus Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Autotech Ventures, Bold Capital, SAIC Capital, Western Technology Investment (WTI), and Alrai Capital--said it is opening up an 15,000 square foot office in Carlsbad. The company said the new office will specifically help it tap into the Southern California pool of expertise in millimeter wave and RF circuit design. Metawave said it is hiring engineers and product development experts at the new office, saying it hopes to attract experts in the wireless sensing and communication industries looking for a "Silicon Valley" experience without having to move to the Bay Area.
