SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 20, 2026--

Today, Elve announced the successful demonstration of a full-duplex, bi-directional wireless radio transmission at E-band using Elve’s Vermillion TWTA technology with Nokia Wavence UBT-m point-to-point radios.

This marks a first in the history of the telecommunications industry.

The initial transmission test results show more than ten times the transmit power of the most powerful mmWave backhaul radios on the market today, while maintaining a data rate of 10 Gbps.

This proof of concept paves the way for Elve and Nokia to jointly explore technological advancements in wireless point-to-point solutions, with the potential to revolutionize critical services connectivity, supporting high data rates over longer distances.

High-power microwave and mmWave radio links provide an ideal solution to bring low-latency, cost-efficient, and reliable high-data-rate connectivity to remote areas, while also enabling high-density, high-performance 6G backhaul. Microwave links can be deployed rapidly in case of emergencies and natural disasters, bringing instant cellular connectivity to virtually any location.

“Elve was built to unlock access to mmWave power at scale, enabling higher data rates wirelessly for space and terrestrial applications,” said Diana Gamzina, Founder and CEO of Elve. “The team at Elve is proud of this joint, first-ever technology demonstration achieved with Nokia, one of the leading visionary cellular equipment providers.”
