WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW HIM: For many frustrated consumers, wireless technology has come to mean not only less wiring, but also less reception and less reliability. But Ed Cantwell, CEO of Richardson-based InnerWireless, has successfully engineered a better way to wireless. His company is the leading provider of comprehensive in-building wireless distribution systems that make any compatible systems and devices work better—be it cell phones, paging services, two-way radios, or LAN applications. Cantwell calls it being “always on, always synced, always where it needs to be.” Their patented technology evenly and efficiently distributes radio frequency signals throughout a multi-story space—much like the way heat or air conditioning is distributed. Such networks are already in place across tens of millions of square feet of commercial, healthcare, and government space worldwide, in buildings like the Mandarin Oriental Hotels and Dallas’ Methodist Health System’s Methodist Mansfield Hospital. Cantwell, a former Air Force fighter pilot, and his crew are hard at work developing new technologies—like Spot, a new pinpoint-accurate, radio frequency location system—to make sure
their clients continue to get more from
their wireless.
