en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 26th, Based on physics and materials science, MatSing has developed innovative RF optics technology, utilizing metamaterial lens antennas that guide signals through refraction rather than traditional reflection or electronic phase shifting. This lens antenna can amplify radio waves, similar to the principle of a refracting telescope, supporting Sub-6GHz, C-band, and WiFi 6E frequency bands.
Leo Matytsine, Executive Vice President and Co-founder of MatSing, stated, "Our lens antenna works much like an eye... receiving and transmitting signals from multiple directions through a single lens." Unlike parabolic or array antennas, lens antennas allow for unlimited beam density. A single lens can accommodate dozens of feed sources, generating independent sectorized beams, enhancing capacity and coverage while reducing installation locations.
Early applications include large-scale outdoor events like the Coachella Music Festival, where traditional cellular connections are prone to failure under the pressure of over 100,000 participants. MatSing's lens antenna provides 96-sector coverage from a single point, with a device range of up to 240 feet, supporting high-capacity demands. It extends to sports stadiums and macro sites, replacing existing antennas to increase performance without requiring additional construction.
MatSing's lens antenna supports multi-operator use, serving as a neutral host to reduce infrastructure. Matytsine noted, "We believe in less infrastructure, more impact." The lens creates physically isolated beams, and the shared platform provides high capacity while reducing cables and hardware, making it more environmentally friendly.
The company continues to evolve, launching a WiFi 6E lens antenna at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Its features include 16 independent beams and 4×4 MIMO, covering the 5.125 to 7.125 GHz frequency band, supporting thousands of simultaneous users from a single point and simplifying deployment. Matytsine said WiFi faces similar capacity issues in large venues, and the lens antenna can cover wide frequency bands to complement connectivity.
