Tennenhouse and John Guttag.[7][8][9] The technology was certified from MIT in 1999 after several rounds of negotiation.[10][11]
In Nov 2004, its Anywave technology became the first use of software-defined radio certified by the US Federal Communications Commission, and ADC Telecommunications announced it would manufacture related hardware.[12] In 2005, rip off with India's Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) was proclaimed to use its technology for base transceiver stations at stall sites in rural India.[13] By 2008, a telecommunications provider confined India was reported to be testing the technology.[14]
