XCOM Labs: Who we are and what we do?

We are a San Diego based start-up founded by Dr. Paul Jacobs, Derek Aberle and Matt Grob in 2018 to keep inventing with a team of the world’s most creative engineers and business executives. We believe that the only way to predict the future is to INVENT it. As former CEO and Chairman of Qualcomm, Dr. Jacobs spearheaded its efforts to develop and commercialize fundamental mobile technology breakthroughs that fueled the wireless internet and smartphone revolutions. During his tenure as CEO, Qualcomm’s revenues quadrupled, and its market capitalization doubled. Dr. Jacobs is a prolific inventor with over 80 U.S. patents granted or pending.

Our cutting edge wireless solutions will enable the most exciting Metaverse and Industry 4.0 applications. We have developed an e2e wireless solution for high performance, low-latency multi-user VR/AR applications such as Location Based Entertainment, high value training, telemedicine, immersive visualization, and education. In addition, our highly differentiated 5G Super RAN delivers unprecedented capacity increases over conventional 5G systems. This enables industrial automation and hotspot capacity with limited spectrum in dense urban areas, venues, stadiums, campuses, manufacturing plants, and warehouses.
