'''ArrayComm''' is a wireless communications software company founded in [[San Jose, California]]. Co-founded in 1992 by [[Martin Cooper (inventor)|Martin Cooper]], a pioneer of the wireless industry. The company is wholly owned by [[Ygomi LLC]], under principal investor [[T. Russell Shields]]. The current headquarters is [[Buffalo Grove, Illinois]].

ArrayComm provides multi-antenna signal processing (MAS) software for wireless communications systems, often referred to as [[Smart Antennas]] or [[MIMO]]. The company's software is running in more than 300,000 base stations, in 17 countries around the world. Client device solutions are being developed by the company at present.

ArrayComm sells the [[physical layer]] (PHY) for 4G/5G wireless systems, as well as multi-antenna signal processing software for specific components of 4G PHYs using [[Smart Antennas]] and [[MIMO]] techniques. Patent-licensing is another source of revenue. The company's hardware was sold in [[Australia]] and [[South Africa]] under the [[iBurst]] brand name which continues to be owned by [[Kyocera]]. ArrayComm also traded in Asia by selling base-station software for [[Personal Handy-phone System]] (PHS) base-stations.

The technology improves wireless subscriber experiences and the economics of radio networks. The solution is independent of the network system and supports industry standards including [[WCDMA]], [[High-Speed Packet Access]] (HSPA), [[GSM]], [[WiMAX]], [[Personal Handy-phone System]] (PHS), and [[High Capacity Spatial Division Multiple Access]] (HC-SDMA).

In a crowded room, you can focus your hearing on the person with whom you're speaking and effectively ignore the conversations around you. Conversely, if you're trying to get the attention of someone down the street, you can cup your hands around your mouth, directing your voice to improve the odds of being heard and understood.

MAS is software that allows wireless systems (both end user devices and carrier equipment) to communicate clearly, by solving performance problems that result from the current inefficient radio 'conversations'. Multiple antennas using this software doubles or quadruples performance, by increasing the selective listening and transmission capabilities.

Since inception, the company has had a large contingent of employees who have maintained close contact with each other owing to the paucity of companies in the mobile wireless space. Initially this group was hosted by [[Yahoo]], though more recently it has been reestablished on [[Facebook]]<ref>{{cite web|title=ArrayComm Alumni|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/168615250181/|website=Facebook|accessdate=16 February 2015}}</ref> group for social networking and as a [[LinkedIn]]<ref>{{cite web|title=ArrayComm Alumin|url=https://www.linkedin.com/groups/156491|website=LinkedIn}}</ref> for business networking.

[[Japan Radio Company]] and ArrayComm announced a technology alliance, through which JRC will develop base station radio head products to deliver the maximum performance of ArrayComm’s A-MAS (Multi-Antenna Signal) processing software.

==References==

[[Alvarion]] Ltd. and ArrayComm announced their ongoing technology partnership for integration of ArrayComm's multi-antenna signal processing software (A-MAS) into Alvarion's 4Motion's Radio Access Network Solutions. Alvarion's WiMAX platform will leverage ArrayComm's A-MAS Advanced Multi-Antenna software in order to offer 2 to 4 times more coverage and [[spectral efficiency]] than the WiMAX Forum's baseline profiles, through a unique combination of [[Beamforming]], [[MIMO]] and adaptive interference cancellation, while maintaining full profile and standards compliance.

[[SOMA Networks]] Inc. and ArrayComm announced a joint development effort. Under this agreement, SOMA Networks will integrate ArrayComm's multi-antenna signal processing (MAS) software, including support of [[MIMO]], [[Beamforming]] (AAS) and combined MIMO/AAS modes, into SOMA's FlexMAX Mobile WiMAX System. The combination of ArrayComm's adaptive antenna software with SOMA's fully converged, all-IP broadband wireless access solution will allow Mobile WiMAX network operators to benefit from the greatest possible cell range and coverage, increased spectral efficiencies and greater network capacity.

[[KT Corporation]] and ArrayComm announced their agreement to collaborate on improving KT's new mobile broadband [[WiBro]] network by integrating multi-antenna signal processing technologies. KT is building an advanced mobile broadband service in the 2.3 GHz band. Using this license, KT is leading in the effort to deploy [[WiBro]] to meet the consumer and business demand for mobile broadband in South Korea. ArrayComm multi-antenna signal processing software (A-MAS) is being incorporated in [[WiBro]] and [[WiMAX]] client devices and base stations by multiple manufacturers to reduce costs and improve performance.
