pCell is the result of over a decade of pioneering work, by a small, but extraordinary team, under the leadership of inventor and technology pioneer Steve Perlman.
Artemis Networks is the pioneer of pCell technology, a breakthrough approach to wireless that consistently delivers full-speed data rate to every mobile device concurrently, regardless of how many users are sharing the same spectrum at once, and is compatible with standard LTE devices. Founded by technology pioneer Steve Perlman in early 2000s, and incubated for over a decade by Steve’s Rearden Companies incubator (www.rearden.com), Artemis is based in Mountain View, California. pCell technology is protected by a broad portfolio of fundamental patents, both US and internationally.
Roger van der Laan is a technology inventor with a 20+ year track record of bringing wild ideas to reality. His creative solutions to tough engineering challenges in both real-time software and hardware have resulted in revolutionary products and over 100 U.S. patents and over 475 patents worldwide.
As Vice President of Engineering and Co-founder of Artemis, Roger is responsible for leading the development and commercial deployment of the complex real-time software and hardware behind pCell technology.
Roger joined Rearden Labs in 2004 and has since co-invented and implemented technologies ranging from the Mova Contour motion capture system used for Brad Pitt’s character in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, which won an Oscar for “Best Achievement in Visual Effects,” to the development of software lens technology, to inventing the core technology for OnLive low-latency cloud gaming technology. As Director of R&D at Delta Beta In-Flight, he designed and built the world’s first self-contained, distributed In-Flight Entertainment system that delivered Video on Demand to each passenger.
Michael Bykhovsky is an investor and financial advisor to technology startups and the Federal Government, including a member of the Economic Advisory Board for U.S. Representative Jackie Speier.
Previously, Michael founded Applied Financial Technology (AFT) in 1996, which ultimately grew to dominate the field of Mortgage Analytics with offerings that included analytical software and databases for mortgages. AFT had offices in San Francisco, New Hampshire, and China, and was acquired by Fidelity Information Services in 2007.
Prior to establishing AFT, Michael worked at Fisher, Francis, Trees & Watts (FFT&W) as Director of Portfolio Technology. While there, he developed a comprehensive fixed income analytical system. Before that, at Hyperion Capital Management as head of the Quantitative Research team, he developed a wide range of analytical systems focused on analyzing the performance and risk characteristics of mortgages and mortgage derivatives.
Michael holds a BS in Physics (Columbia University), MS in Physics (UCLA), and an ABD in Physics (Columbia University).
