Kumu was founded in 2012 by a team of Stanford University Professors and Ph.D graduates with a mission to commercialize research on Wireless Full Duplex. Kumu has developed technology that cancels Self-Interference, the 'unwanted' energy that leaks into a radio's receiver while transmitting. As a result of the cancellation, the receiver hears no noise from its transmitter, freeing it to cleanly receive external signals. A radio using Kumu's self-interference cancellation technology can transmit and receive at the same time on the same frequency.
