DecaWave (), the pioneering fabless semiconductor company specialising in ultra wideband (UWB) technology for Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), has announced ex-Intel VP Jim O'Hara as Chairman of the company.
DecaWave has also announced that it has successfully raised a further funding round of EUR6m from private investors in the US and Europe. This brings the total invested in DecaWave to EUR12.4m.

He is also a Board member of Enterprise Ireland, and is on the board of a number of Irish public companies.
"The appointment of Jim O'Hara as Chairman brings unique expertise and stature to DecaWave, and we are honoured that he has agreed to chair the company, to offer us his guidance and strategic vision at this vital time for the company", says Ciaran Connell, CEO DecaWave. "DecaWave is entering the final critical stage of our development before we reach full commercialisation for our ScenSor chip, and we believe Jim's decision to join us, along with the additional EUR6M in funding from our investors, further validates and endorses both DecaWave's vision and our technology."
