We believe better radio efficiency can make existing sites more profitable, make new sites viable, and connect more people.
TalkingHeads Wireless started with a simple question. Why does a cell tower need to use as much power as it does?
Founder Joel Dawson’s work spans academic research and companies focused on radio efficiency. TalkingHeads brings that experience to macro cellular infrastructure.
For operators, the opportunity is commercial: better site economics. For communities, it is the possibility that more locations become viable to serve. That connection between engineering and access guides our work.
