- Victor Shtrom Co-founder and Chief Wireless Architect
When it comes to radio frequencies, Victor is all-knowing. Having founded Ruckus Wireless with Bill Kish, Victor heads the development and RF architecture of Ruckus Wireless products. He’s knows more about beamforming, MIMO, UWB, OFDM, GSM, TDMA, CDMA and any other wireless acronym you can think of – than anyone we know. Most of our breakthroughs in Smart Wi-Fi come from his head. Before starting Ruckus, Victor worked on some of the very first MIMO-implementations at IOSPAN. Prior to that he headed up the Ellipso satellite cellular phone network air interface specifications team at Boeing. Most of the 25+ patents we have or have pending, have his name on them. Victor has a Ph.D. in Communications Theory from the University of Cincinnati, in Ohio. He played in a rock band call WildWeeds when he was young. He really digs his Russian wife.
