Make 11 hectares wireless field in 60 minutes
PicoCELA has developed world-best wireless multi-hop technology which can easily extend for 10 or more hops achieving stable broadband transmission with low latency.
The technology is called PicoCELA Backhaul Engine (PBE). We license PBE as well as to implement it onto edge computers with enterprise grade Wi-Fi and sell them with cloud base management system, PicoManager, which works as a core to gather and analyze big data from the users and IoT devices connected.
More than 3,500 PicoCELA products have been installed in Japan at 100 sites.
The installation cost saving is enormous as cabling can be reduced by 85% and associated hardware and labors are also minimized.
The latest product PCWL-0400 is an edge computer with wireless multi-hop function and enterprise grade Access Points. Target markets are factories, construction sites, huge shopping malls and event venue where cabling is either impossible or prohibitively costly.
Our technology is also best suited to connect 5G base stations to minimize fiber cost.
The technology is protected by more than 30 registered patents worldwide.
We are actively promoting licensing and product sales to the US and EU as the edge computer market which we estimate to be $80 B in 2021 is largely outside of Japan.
