Magnolia Broadband

Venture Round in 2013
Magnolia Broadband, Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company based in Englewood, New Jersey, specializing in wireless communications. Founded in 2000, the company has developed and patented Mobile Transmit Diversity (MTD), a beamforming technology that enhances data throughput and coverage for wireless network operators without requiring changes to existing base stations or infrastructure standards. MTD can be implemented as either a chip or a software-only solution, making it versatile for various applications. Magnolia boasts a comprehensive intellectual property portfolio, including 28 issued patents and 24 pending patents in the U.S., alongside additional patents in international markets. The technology significantly increases spectrum utilization by 40%, improves quality of service for voice and data, and offers a proven gain in uplink performance. Moreover, it extends battery life and reduces emissions, allowing for rapid and cost-effective deployment across multi-band standards and protocols.
