Top Wireless Startups in 2026

HRL's scientists and engineers are on the leading edge of technology, conducting pioneering research, providing real-world technology solutions, and advancing the state of the art. We continue to be recognized as one of the world's premier physical science and engineering research laboratories.

RF Venue's products address widespread interference and dropout problems associated with wireless audio systems. The company's patented antenna systems and RF spectrum management technology are widely adopted by over 300 commercial sound companies and are used in hotels, churches, schools, and production film and TV facilities around the world everyday.

Lynk has proven the core technology that will allow everyone to stay connected everywhere using the existing mobile phone in their pocket. Lynk's patented service will provide connectivity to all existing, unmodified phones and cellular devices for the 90% of the planet that still has no cellular coverage. Lynk's service -- cell towers in space -- is 4 orders of magnitude lower cost than traditional ground based cell towers and represents a $400 Billion total addressable market in a $1 Trillion industry (mobile wireless.)

Medical error is now the third leading cause of death, after only cancer and heart disease, and affects 1.3M people each year and kills 270k in Canada and the US alone. 12% of these errors are caused by applying too much or too little force in surgery. SensOR provides a digital sense of touch in minimally invasive and robotic surgery to improve surgical precision and reduce this medical error. This digital sense of touch is provided by ForceFilm: our first-in-the-world force-sensing film that can be added-on to any make or model of minimally invasive or robotic surgical instrument without changing the surgical or hospital workflow.

Impinj is a leader in UHF RFID technology & item intelligence solutions for retail, healthcare, electronics, manufacturing and supply chain applications.

Spectrum Effect’s mission is to solve the most challenging and costly problems in the wireless industry through innovation and automation. Spectrum Effect's industry-leading Spectrum-NET solution automates the analysis of RF interference. Protected by 27 issued patents, Spectrum-NET performs machine learning-driven analysis of RF interference across all RF bands and operates seamlessly across multi-vendor 5G NR, LTE, and UMTS cells within mobile networks. Operators across the globe are using Spectrum-NET to rapidly address RF interference, improve network KPIs, surgically deploy field assets, gain key insights into spectral efficiency, and save significant OPEX and CAPEX.

Ting is on a mission to make mobile make sense with no contracts, no overage penalties, and no hidden fees. Minutes, megabytes, and messages are each billed separately and customers only pay for the usage levels they actually hit. Businesses and families can have unlimited devices on one account and share usage for even greater savings. Ting offers a clear, usable website and smart, accessible customer service agents empowered to solve problems.

Electrozyme is engaged in the development of its patented technology, printed electrochemical sensors capable of transducing relevant metabolic information from the epidermis of the wearer in a non-invasive, non-obtrusive, and cost-effective fashion. The Company has already demonstrated working prototypes and has priority access to a state-of-the-art printing facility to begin pilot production in conjunction with a strategic partner(s), who will provide co-development revenue.

Our nation's military and intelligence services use advanced technologies to create strategic and tactical advantage, from central commands to battlefields. We provide this advantage by developing and delivering innovative sensors and information-processing capabilities.​ By working collaboratively – amongst ourselves, our clients and partner companies – we can deliver powerful capabilities to our customers.

Since our foundation 10 years ago as LaserMotive, PowerLight has set three world records for beaming power over light, won two NASA government awards and advanced five generations of technology systems. We are the first and only team to develop and viable technology platform that demonstrated transfer of 400 watts over 1 kilometer. Since then we have received validation from industry-leading companies and government labs, and we are globally recognized.
