Startup Movandi completed a successful demo on Verizon’s 5G network, showcasing how its repeater technology can expand millimeter wave for connected vehicles and C-V2X applications. (Movandi)Movandi tailors the 5G repeater as a complete system and co-designs the RF chipset, DSP functions, beamforming and algorithms. Verizon has used Movandi-powered repeaters to help extend the reach of its 5G mmWave network, along with other vendors like Pivotal Commware. Finding a 5G mmWave signal outdoors is already a difficult task itself, with very limited coverage. According to Movandi, mmWave base stations, or gNodeB’s, are typically spaced about 500 meters apart.
