CRadar.Ai improves the Radar wireless RF signal phase noise purity by 100x
• Accurate Radars are paramount for self-driving car safety. Radars “see” where Cameras and LiDars are “blind” (fog, rain, snow, direct sunlight, and darkness)

The superior wireless RF signal quality provides a clean signal for high Radar accuracy
• Improving Radar accuracy and resolution enables genuine redundancy, sensory fusion and puts the Radar into the sensory spearhead

Researched and developed advanced network communications testing technologies:
• IxNetwork/IxN2X —IP routing and switching devices and broadband access equipment. Provided traffic generation and emulation for the full range of protocols: OSPF, RIP, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS, MPLS, unicast, multicast, broadcast, layer 2/3 VPNs, IPSec, carrier Ethernet, broadband access, and data center bridging. Tested and validated IEEE, ITU, and IETF RFC standards compatibility
• IxLoad — quickly and accurately modeled high-volume video, data, and voice subscribers and servers to test the real-world performance of multiservice delivery and security platforms
• IxCatapult — emulated a broad range of wireless access and core protocols to test wireless components and systems that, when combined with IxLoad, provides an end-to-end solution for testing wireless service quality
• IxVeriWave — employed a client-centric model to test Wi-Fi and wireless LAN networks by generating repeatable large-scale, real-world test scenarios that are virtually impossible to create by any other means
• Test automation — provide simple, comprehensive lab automation to help test engineering teams create, organize, catalog, and schedule execution of tests
