DragonWave is a multinational corporation headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario and a global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access IP networks.

History

Incorporated in February 2000,[2] DragonWave introduced its first wireless broadband product in 2002.

In 2007, the company saw the launch of its all-outdoor Horizon Compact[3] microwave radio with transport speeds of 800Mbit/s.

DragonWave was first listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2007,[4] and then listed on the NASDAQ exchange in 2009.[5]

In 2010, DragonWave acquired Axerra Networks, an Israeli company that develops circuit emulation and service emulation solutions over packet access networks for mobile backhaul and business service delivery.[6]

In 2011 DragonWave introduced two products, the Avenue[7] and Horizon Compact+.[8]

In 2012, DragonWave acquired Nokia Siemens Networks' microwave transport business, rebranding the NSN Flexipacket products as the DragonWave Harmony family.[9] Per that transaction, DragonWave also became a preferred supplier to Nokia Siemens Networks and continues to provide the Flexipacket/Harmony products to the company.[10]

Products

DragonWave designs and builds Ethernet microwave products to support existing and emerging backhaul requirements employing three key technologies: packet microwave, hybrid microwave and small cell solutions.
