Overview

GreenWave Radios designs energy-efficient RF systems around a specialized hardware architecture called a non-linear Radio Processing Unit (nRPU). Its radios run software-defined protocol personalities that can implement many RF standards on a single hardware platform. The core idea is to execute diverse radio functions in software on the nRPU, achieving much lower power consumption than typical radios while preserving flexibility. This approach lets GreenWave Radios support multiple radio standards and features on one hardware base, enabling easier updates and customization without swapping hardware. The company’s goal is to provide ultra-low-power, flexible radios that can support a wide range of protocols efficiently, addressing the demand for long-lasting, adaptable wireless devices.
