History

Established in 2003, PureWave specializes in developing high-performance, compact, outdoor base stations for 4G wireless networks. In 2009 PureWave introduced the PureWave Quantum family of mobile WiMAX base stations with the PureWave Quantum 1000.[2] It was followed in 2010 and 2011 by PureWave Quantum 6600 and PureWave Quantum 2200, respectively. PureWave uses an open product architecture that allows operators to build their networks using equipment from multiple vendors, utilizing any end user device that conforms to the 802.16e standard.[3] PureWave is developing a portfolio of 4G LTE small cell base stations that will support both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE.[4] In 2012 the company relocated its headquarters from Mountain View, CA to Santa Clara, CA.
