Smart Antenna Technologies (SAT) is a spinout company from the University of Birmingham. The team have designed, developed and patented a pioneering smart antenna technology. The market for this highly scalable technology is the global cellular handset market. SAT's remarkable innovation has led to the creation of a significant number of patent applications, both filed and in process. Today, handset manufacturers are seeking an effective antenna solution suitable for implementing the next generation of cellular handset technologies, known as Long Term Evolution (4G LTE). Currently, they are unable to achieve physically the desired antenna performance in a size that fits a cellular handset package at an acceptable volume cost. Current implementations from the leading handset manufacturers employ typically six antennas. The highly compact SAT technology replaces all existing antennas—DVB-H, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GSM, GPS, 3G multi-bands and 3.9/4G LTE—with just one. This single SAT device provides significantly lower costs, is smaller in size and offers much needed performance gains over existing designs and technology.

At D•Labs, they call it “the ‘O’ word.” They don’t say it; they rarely allow theirselves to think it. And they certainly wouldn’t say it amongst polite company without excusing theirselves first. You see, at D•Labs, they dislike outsourcing with a passion. Why? Because they believe the only sure way for you – the founder, the visionary, the dreamer – to build great products is to work with people as committed and engaged with the product as you are. It’s critical that they arrive with a “co-founder mindset,” so to speak. But discovering and recruiting development teams is hard. It’s time-consuming. It’s fraught with overpromises and underdelivery. And it’s even harder for early-stage teams facing all the pre-product uncertainty. But now you can relax – because at D•Labs, they’re just the sorts who enjoy these sorts of challenges; it’s where they believe the fun is. So they’ve started building tech teams, tailored just for all you early-stagers out there. A magic sauce of strong getting-stuff-done teams embedded in a pure startup culture, staffed from EU locations with a strong entrepreneurial and technical sophistication and a loyal culture. They offer daily service rates with no pre-conditions. You find the team that fits your vision, and you work with the ones you like. Directly. Because they work with so many startups in the UK, they know what challenges you’re likely to face. So no nagging about changing backlogs, experimenting with funnels and making 10 prototypes at a time. It’s just what they do.

Genomnia is an SME established in October 2008 with the aim of offering Next Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatic Analysis services.

In addition to the wide experience in molecular biology, the Company know-how extends to the sectors of bioinformatic analysis of massive sequencing data and high-throughput PCR applied to biomedical or to molecular genetics research projects. Genomnia has adopted a new sequencing platform, Thermo Fisher/Life Technologies Ion Torrent, acquiring the Ion Personal Genome Machine® (PGM™) and the Ion S5. This platform of new technological conception is very flexible, with a production ranging from a minimum of 100 Megabases to a maximum of 16 Gigabases of sequence for a run. Its main application fields range from the study of mutations and gene alterations, with single-gene or disease-specific gene panels resequencing; to the human whole exome study; to the de novo sequencing or the resequencing of bacterial and viral genomes; to the study of transcriptome (RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, etc.) and of epigenome (ChIP-seq, MBD-seq, Methyl-seq, etc.); till the study of the metagenomics of human microbiome and of other microbiomes using the 16S or whole-genome sequencing. The laboratories are specifically organized according to the ThermoFisher/Life Technologies guidelines for a deep sequencing facility with the Ion Torrent platform, minimizing or zeroing the dangers of cross-contamination.
