Airgo Networks (formerly Woodside Networks), is a Palo Alto, California-based company specializing in the development of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless technology.[1] Airgo Networks was founded in 2001 by Gregory Raleigh, V.K. Jones, David Johnson, Geert Awater, Rolf de Vegt and Richard van Nee.[2]

Airgo was a lead proponent of the 802.11n standard.[3] The company began shipping the world’s first MIMO-OFDM chipsets in 2003.[4][5]

In September 2005, Airgo Networks launched its third generation True MIMO chip set with support for data rates up to 240 Mbit/s.[6]

On December 3, 2006, Qualcomm announced that it would acquire Airgo Networks for an undisclosed amount.[7][8] Airgo is now owned by Qualcomm, although still located in Palo Alto, while Qualcomm's headquarters is in San Diego.
