Swisscom Invests in Quantenna for Whole-Home 4x4 MIMO
Swisscom has made a strategic investment in Quantenna Communications, a start-up developing silicon for high-speed, wireless high definition (HD) video home networking. The investment expands Quantenna's Series C funding round, which also includes previous announced investors Grazia Equity, Sequoia Capital, Sigma Partners, Southern Cross Venture Partners and Venrock Associates. To date, Quantenna has raised over $44 million.
Quantenna leverages dynamic digital beamforming to deliver very high-speed wireless coverage throughout the whole home for sharing high definition (HD) video and multimedia content between home gateways and TVs. Quantenna's silicon is targeted at devices such as home residential gateways, set-top boxes, routers, HDTVs and consumer electronic devices, which all require high bandwidth and reliability to support whole home HD video distribution and networking over standard Wi-Fi networks.
