Top Wireless Startups in 2027

Daanaa’s brand-new, near field non-inductive power transfer chip-based technology transfers energy freely, safely, and efficiently, from 1W up to 10kW. It is designed to integrate with existing technologies and hardware to reduce costs, complexity, and power losses, including the elimination of wires, cables, and connectors. Features include near-field spatial freedom, direct integration, one-to-many scalable power (1W-10KW), bi-directional power transfer, and parallel data transfer, through materials such as wood, concrete, and plastic.

Sonos is a developer of wireless multi-room music systems for the home. The Sonos Multi-Room Music System is the first, wireless multi-room music system that plays all kinds of music and is able to control it. Sonos liberates the music stored on a computer so it can be enjoyed all over the house. In addition, by partnering with audio services like Audible.com, Last.FM, Napster, Pandora, RadioTime, Rhapsody, SIRIUS Internet Radio, and more, Sonos gives music lovers instant, computer-free access to millions of songs, thousands of radio stations, audiobooks, and more.

Tombot makes robotic animals that transform the daily life of individuals, families and communities facing health adversities. Originally designed to meet the specific medical needs of seniors with dementia, Tombot Puppies have also been preordered for children with Autism, adults with high impact chronic pain, major depressive disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD, and for long inpatient stays and arduous outpatient treatments at hospitals. Peer-reviewed studies show that robotic animals positively affect some users’ ability to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression and pain, reducing their need for psychotropic and opioid medications. Key Milestones and Metrics: • Completion of our 5th generation prototype and 3rd round of customers studies with 100s of seniors with dementia • Over 3,900 preorder and waitlist customers • Member of StartX: Stanford-funded startup accelerator program • Member of the Canadian Creative Destruction Lab accelerator program • Member of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles accelerator program (CTIP) • Large-scale clinical trials in development with Children’s Hospital and the University of Southern California to demonstrate reduced stress, anxiety and pain for pediatric hospital inpatients • Large scale study in development with the LAC-USC Hospital Burn Unit to demonstrate reduced stress, anxiety, and pain for pediatric burn patients • Major national and international media coverage • Winner 2019 RoboBusiness Pitchfire competition • Filed multiple trademark, design and provisional utility patent applications • U.S. TAM: $9.0B (seniors with dementia plus mild cognitive impairment)

DeepSig is building core tools to rebuild wireless physical layer systems from a machine learning first perspective. Our research into this field has already shown the major performance potential of this approach, and we are now rapidly maturing and transitioning the technology into production ready systems with key partners in several specific markets.

SPARK Microsystems offers a unique and innovative wireless transceiver technology that achieves an order of magnitude better energy efficiency and latency than BLE or ZigBee and supports faster data rates. The technology significantly extends the battery life of electronics, and enables battery-less operation of wireless devices such as sensors when paired with energy harvesting technologies. SPARK is the enabling wireless technology of the future. Its efficiency, agility and robustness allow it to address a large number of markets, many of which are ill-served by current wireless technologies. SPARK Microsystems is bringing to the world a wireless transceiver that will change the way we think about low-power wireless and that is ready for the Internet of Things revolution.

About RBR Since 1973, RBR has been designing and manufacturing oceanographic instruments in Ottawa, Ontario to measure our blue planet. The effects of climate change are being seen from the ocean’s abyss to the polar ice caps and our sensors quantify this change to support better analysis, improved planning, and more effective mitigation strategies. Our instruments measure water parameters in some of the harshest environments on the planet! They are mounted on underwater drones, dropped out of planes, and sent to the bottom of the ocean – sometimes for years at a time – all in an effort to get precise and accurate data to support climate research! We have been fortunate to be able to partner with some of the world's leaders in the field of ocean science, like Fisheries and Oceans Canada, The Scripps Institution of Oceanography, The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The Norwegian Polar Institute, and The British Antarctic Survey, just to name a few!

Silvus is a rapidly-growing wireless technology company in the heart of West Los Angeles. They deliver cutting edge Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking (MANET) radio solutions that have better range and throughput than anything else on the market, and have grown into one of the premier brands in the field in only a few short years. Along with their successful MANET product line, they also deliver ground breaking research in collaboration with high profile institutions like DARPA.
