'''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 sells the [[Physical Layer]] (PHY) for 4G 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 solutions enjoyed their greatest commercial successes in [[Australia]] and [[South Africa]] under the [[iBurst]] brand name which continues to be owned by [[Kyocera]]. ArrayComm also achieved significant success in Asia by selling base-station software for [[Personal Handy-phone System]] (PHS) base-stations.

==Overview==

The problems ArrayComm are trying to solve can be compared to multiple conversations in a single ___location, or communications across long distances.

In a crowded room, people find it easy to focus on the person they are speaking to and effectively ignore other conversations. Conversely, a person can try to get the attention of someone down the street by cupping their hands around their mouth, which directs their 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.

==Alumni group==

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 [http[LinkedIn]]<ref>{{cite web|title=ArrayComm Alumin|url=https://www.linkedin.com/groupInvitation?groupID=groups/156491&sharedKey|website=5C5F684F5DED LinkedIn}}</ref> Group] to facilitatefor business networking.
