Curvalux

Curvalux is a fixed wireless access (FWA) technology company that builds patented, multi-beam phased-array antenna systems for terrestrial and satellite-derived wireless broadband networks. Its core innovation is a wide-area, low-power, multi-beam phased-array antenna, originally rooted in satellite communications technology, that provides frequency reuse, high directivity and gain to dramatically increase throughput and range for low-cost end-user terminals. The flagship Curvalux 3.2 mmW system operates in the 24-31 GHz millimeter-wave band and has been demonstrated delivering over 2.5 Gbps of "wireless fiber" speeds while consuming only around 60W, with solar-power-ready deployments.

Founded in 2018 by Thomas Choi (Founder, Chairman & CTO, a satellite industry veteran previously involved with Speedcast and ABS, inducted into the Satellite Hall of Fame in 2017), Curvalux is headquartered in Sheffield, UK, with a US office in Melbourne, Florida. The company has opened an R&D and manufacturing facility in Sheffield, backed by investment reported to support a broadband systems factory expected to create over 200 jobs in the Sheffield City Region. Its management team, led by CEO Richard Pak, combines backgrounds from Yahoo, J.P. Morgan, CommScope, Speedcast, DLA Piper and Telkom Indonesia, holding a combined 26 patents and 150+ years of experience in technology and communications.

Curvalux's mission is to reduce the barriers preventing an estimated 3.5 billion people worldwide from accessing affordable broadband internet. The company has run extensive proof-of-concept and commercial trials across the USA, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Kuwait, Mongolia and Malaysia, demonstrating multi-hundred-Mbps to multi-Gbps throughput at ranges up to 20+ km, positioning its technology as a lower-cost, lower-power alternative to traditional cell towers and 5G fixed wireless deployments for telecom operators and rural connectivity providers.
