RadioWires: Printing the Nervous System for Intelligent Machines
Company Description
RadioWires is solving the 'wiring crisis'—the single greatest physical bottleneck crippling the future of mobility and robotics. As vehicles and machines become increasingly software-defined, the traditional wiring harness has become an unsustainable relic: complex, heavy, manually assembled, and a choke point for both performance and manufacturing automation.
Our solution is the RadioWires Tape™, a revolutionary, patented, self-adhesive printed transmission line that functions as a high-performance 'nervous system' for intelligent machines. This switch-less architecture replaces kilometers of complex copper wiring with a single, elegant solution designed for automated "tape-and-place" application. By enabling direct, high-speed, node-to-node communication, we are providing the foundational network to unlock the next generation of innovation—doing for the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) era what the CAN bus did for the electronic era.
Our Technology: The RadioWires Tape™
The RadioWires Tape™ is a multi-layer flexible printed circuit board (FlexPCB) that acts as a common, shielded transmission line. By adapting proven wireless (RF) principles for secure, high-performance guided transmission, we channel high-speed data within a shielded medium, eliminating the vulnerabilities of open-air wireless while retaining its flexibility and bandwidth.
- Performance Roadmap: 100 Gbps, with a clear path to 1 Tbps and beyond.
- Transceivers: Initially leverages off-the-shelf (OTS) WiFi-based transceivers, with a roadmap to custom ASICs for fully optimized performance and cost at scale.
Key Benefits & Differentiators
- Automated Manufacturing: Transforms wiring from a complex manual craft into a precise, automatable process, enabling the "Machines Building Machines" vision of Industry 5.0.
- Radical Simplification: Eliminates central data switches, reducing bottlenecks, single points of failure, and power consumption.
- Performance Leap: Delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency, simultaneous data streams essential for real-time AI processing and autonomous control.
- Mass & Weight Reduction: Achieves significant weight savings compared to traditional harnesses, directly enhancing EV range and overall vehicle efficiency.
- Enhanced Reliability: A shielded design reduces EMI, and fewer connectors improve system robustness—critical for safety-in-mission autonomous systems.
- Agile & Future-Proof: Creates a "data river" architecture with system-wide data availability, simplifying data fusion for AI and enabling flexible, software-defined platforms that can be easily upgraded.
Target Applications
- Automotive: Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), Zonal Architectures, ADAS, and Electric Vehicle (EV) platforms.
- Advanced Robotics: Industrial, collaborative, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and aerial drones.
- Aerospace & Defense: Lightweight, high-reliability data links for demanding environments.
- AI & Data Centers: High-speed, intra-system connectivity for GPU clusters and edge computing infrastructure.
