VectorWave

Analog AI accelerator for RF spectrum

Overview

VectorWave develops hardware for AI-powered wireless spectrum management, including an electromagnetic spectrum platform and AI accelerators that use analog signal processing to run AI inference directly on raw RF signals. Its MAFT-ONN accelerator leverages physics-based analog components to perform fast, programmable signal processing, achieving RF modulation classification with about 120 nanoseconds latency and up to 99% accuracy. Unlike digital processors that trade performance for size, weight, power, and cost, VectorWave aims to deliver ultra-fast processing with the advantages of analog SWaP-C in congested or contested environments. The company’s goal is to commercialize its analog AI hardware for spectrum utilization and dynamic spectrum management, expanding into dual-use applications to meet growing demand from 5G modernization, media consumption, and remote work.

VectorWave raises $2.5M for neuromorphic analog platform enabling nanosecond AI inference on RF signals

VectorWave has emerged from stealth with a neuromorphic analog compute platform that performs real-time AI inference directly on RF signals. The Boston-based startup has raised $2.5 million in seed funding led by J2 Ventures and Coalition Ventures. Founded in 2024, VectorWave's integrated circuit platform processes raw electromagnetic signals before digitisation, reducing latency from milliseconds to nanoseconds. The technology enables reliable connectivity in congested wireless environments and more efficient spectrum utilisation. The company is led by CEO Ben Taylor, a former Cisco executive who joined in December 2025. VectorWave's platform is designed to integrate with existing communications systems and targets applications in next-generation IoT, dense urban connectivity and industrial settings where multiple signals compete simultaneously.
