SPARK Microsystems is a fabless semiconductor company leading the way towards ultra-low power, ultra-low latency wireless communications. With its patented technologies, SPARK Microsystems delivers order-of-magnitude better bandwidth, latency and power consumption compared to legacy wireless protocols. The company also seeks to bring battery-less operation to the market.
SPARK Microsystems was founded in 2016 and received its first patents in 2020 in the US and abroad. SPARK shipped its first silicon evaluation kits in 2019. Production on the SPARK SR1000 UWB IC family began in 2020. The company is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The second-generation chips deliver much lower power ranging, higher data rates, lower latency, and greater signal robustness than competing UWB technologies.
For nearly 20 years, Bluetooth has dominated as the short-range technology for wirelessly connected devices. But UWB’s latency and power-efficiency advantages position it as a...
