'''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 hardware solutions enjoyed their greatest commercial successes in [[Australia]] and [[South Africa]] under the [[iBurst]] brand name which continues to be owned by [[Kyocera]]. Software solutions offered by ArrayComm are still under development. Patent-licensing continues to prove to be a surprisingly strong source of revenue.

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 claims to improve 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.
