Microamp provides high-performance mmWave* connectivity for robust, secure, and redundant streaming of massive volumes of data in real time. Their solution enables the rapid deployment of a flexible, uplink-heavy 5G mmWave private network\u2014ideal for applications requiring the uplink of large data volumes, such as live video analytics from multiple mobile, high-resolution wireless cameras. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The minds behind Microamp are CEO Dawid Kuchta and CTO Marcin G\u00f3rlaczyk. Dawid brings 10 years of experience across commercial and military entities, having participated in R&D projects focused on the development of RF systems. Marcin has another 10 years of experience as one of Poland\u2019s leading designers of base station amplifiers for mobile networks. He has worked in both Poland and the USA, including on military R&D projects such as \u201cWis\u0142a\u201d. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How was the startup idea born?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marcin and I (Dawid) met at the Warsaw University of Technology over 15 years ago and have been best friends ever since. 2020. In 2020, we defended our PhDs on 5G and military power amplifiers, following years of research at top institutions in Singapore, the USA, and Poland. With deep expertise and a shared passion for innovation, we decided it was time to make a real impact. That\u2019s how Microamp was born\u2014a company set to shake up the telecom market by pushing the boundaries of wireless technology and delivering next-generation network solutions. <\/p>\n

What has been your biggest challenge\/obstacle\/largest win so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biggest challenge \u2013 Finding our first paying industrial customer. Obstacle \u2013 The telecom market is relatively closed, which makes global scaling more difficult. Largest win \u2013 Securing a proof of concept (PoC) with one of the world\u2019s largest telecom operators.<\/p>\n

What differentiates your company from the competition?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What differentiates us from the competition is our superior network performance, leveraging the mmWave spectrum to deliver multi-gigabit throughput and near-zero latency\u2014perfect for streaming massive volumes of data in real time.
Our solution is end-to-end, highly portable, and can be deployed within hours, making it ideal for emergency communication.
There is a market gap for a flexible, EU-based provider offering end-to-end mmWave private networks, not only for large enterprises but also for mid-tier companies. <\/p>\n

Why did you apply to the NATO DIANA accelerator?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We applied to the NATO DIANA accelerator to gain support in developing our 5G mmWave technology and to connect with industry experts. The programme offers a valuable opportunity to test and scale our solution in a structured environment. <\/p>\n

Where do you see your company in 12 months? How about in 5 years? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The NATO DIANA accelerator provides an ideal framework for testing and scaling our solution. We believe DIANA\u2019s support will accelerate our growth and help enhance defence capabilities through advanced wireless systems. <\/p>\n

Who will be the next unicorn in Estonia or in your home country of Poland?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019re fairly confident that Microamp will be the next unicorn in Poland! With our innovative 5G mmWave tech, we\u2019re definitely on the right track\u2014just wait and see! \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

Which book would you recommend to other startup founders?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zero to One<\/em> by Peter Thiel is a must-read for any startup founder. It\u2019s about creating truly innovative products and building businesses that go from \u201czero to one\u201d\u2014transforming an idea into something groundbreaking.The Estonian accelerator is implemented by Tehnopol Startup Incubator together with Sparkup Tartu Science Park. <\/p>\n

* mmWave refers to a high-frequency band of the electromagnetic spectrum (typically 24\u2013100 GHz) that enables ultra-fast wireless communication over short distances.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
