Technologies

At Etherwave, we develop advanced wireless, sensing, and edge intelligence solutions, combining research-driven innovation with practical prototyping capabilities.

Our expertise spans Software Defined Radio, Open RAN systems, IoT platforms, and RF sensing technologies, enabling rapid development of next-generation communication and monitoring solutions.

Core technology domains

SDR

We design and implement flexible RF systems using Software Defined Radio platforms, enabling real-time signal processing and rapid prototyping of wireless solutions.

  • Real-time RF signal processing
  • Spectrum monitoring and analysis
  • Custom PHY/MAC prototyping
  • GNU Radio and SDR frameworks

IoT & Edge Devices

We develop embedded IoT systems that integrate sensing, communication, and local processing, enabling efficient data collection and real-time decision-making at the edge.

  • Embedded system design and prototyping
  • Sensor integration and data acquisition
  • LOWAN technologies (e.g. LoRa, NB-IoT)
  • Edge processing and local intelligence
  • Scalable IoT system architectures

Open RAN & 5G Systems

We explore disaggregated and flexible mobile network architectures aligned with Open RAN principles, enabling portable, scalable, and cost-efficient deployments. Our work focuses on integrating radio access networks with modern 4G/5G core systems and supporting advanced service capabilities.

  • Portable and deployable RAN systems (e.g. field or emergency use)
  • Integration with 4G/5G core networks
  • QoS-aware applications and service differentiation

RF Sensing & Spectrum Intelligence

We investigate passive RF sensing techniques to extract actionable information from the radio environment without active transmission. Our work focuses on analysing existing signals to detect patterns, anomalies, and events of interest.

  • Passive RF sensing methodologies
  • Signal classification and anomaly detection
  • Spectrum monitoring and environment mapping

Infrastructure and Lab

Our lab infrastructure supports end-to-end development, prototyping and validation of wireless systems and platforms, including the following:

  • Private cloud infrastructure based on OpenStack.
  • Additional development environment as a Proxmox cluster.
  • Open 5GS deployments, based on srsRAN and OAI, operating over-the-air.
  • CUDA hardware-accelerated O-RAN deployment.
  • USRP software-defined radio units for rapid PHY-layer development experimentation.
