Our Story

It’s 1985 and the FCC opens the radio lanes for unlicensed use. Mass-market wireless is suddenly possible. 

It’s 1997 and the IEEE issues its first 2.4 GHz standard: IEEE 802.11™.

The foundation for Wi-Fi has been built.

It’s 1999 and the Wi-Fi alliance forms. Six founding companies are present: 3Com, Aironet, Intersil, Lucent Technologies, Nokia, and Symbol Technologies.
They’ve united to guarantee the interoperability of different products from different vendors.

It’s 2005 and the European Commission harmonizes 5 GHz use.
Now, Wi-Fi works cleanly and consistently across the EU.

It could have been otherwise.

No one was begging governments, companies, regulators, and councils to work together. No one forced the FCC to open their radio lanes. No one made the Wi-Fi alliance work together rather than try and protect their own turf.

This was uncharted territory.

It might have been easier to do nothing or go at it alone out of fear of getting it wrong.

But what about the price of getting it right?

Our entire digital communication infrastructure was built atop people setting aside their doubts, and working together, side-by-side, step-by-step, year-by-year.

We have a new challenge, now.

How to build AI that serves humanity, that establishes the types of networks the likes of which made wireless communication possible.

What will be our gift to the world?

We believe is AI is for everyone. 

That intelligence scales, and that AI is a multiplier, a network effector, an exponent of better ideas, with faster build times, and more humane outcomes.

But right now what we see are siloes.

Our goal at sAIpien is to break those siloes down. To recapture the cooperative spirit of the original communication spectrum for a new technological paradigm.

We want to work together, to learn together, to put our heads together and create something better than the sum of its parts.

We begin and end with humans because that’s what we are: flawed, complicated, wonderful, irreplaceable, and incomprehensible, but capable of great things when we come together.

Our goal is to create cohorts and technology that makes us more intelligent, more empathetic, more human.

A new spectrum for a new era.
