Shlomo Rakib is an Israeli electrical engineer known for his work on Orthogonal Time Frequency and Space (OTFS) and other engineering topics. [1] [2] He is the holder of several patents and co-founder and current Chief Technology Officer of Cohere Technologies,which he had co-founded with Ronny Hadani. [3] [4] He also co-founded Terayon in 1993. [5]
Rakib received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Technion University in Israel. [6] The university's Shlomo Rakib Fellowship Fund is named after him. [7]
In the 1980s,Rakib served as a communications engineer in the Israeli Navy. [8] Rakib also served as Chief Engineer at the communications products company PhaseCom from 1981 to 1993. As part of PhaseCom,he developed data and telephony applications. [6]
Shlomo Rakib founded Terayon in 1993 with his brother Zaki Rakib (IPO in 1998). [5] [9] [10] [11] The company initially sold modems before developing other types of broadband technology. [12] Rakib served as the company's president and CTOs. [13] [14]
Rakib invented Terayon's S-CDMA technology,which is a component of the DOCSIS 2.0 cable data specification used in cable modems. [9] [15] [16] [8] As part of Terayon,he also developed data transmission methods utilizing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and S-CDMA. [17] Rakib resigned as Terayon's president in 2004. [18] The firm was acquired in 2007 by Motorola. [19] [20] This S-CDMA technology that Rakib developed allowed for more efficient utilization of the available bandwidth by allowing multiple signals to occupy the same frequency spectrum simultaneously. [21] It also improved security and reduced interference. [22]
In 2004,Rakib co-founded Novafora,a company that developed microprocessors for advanced video applications. [23] [5] The firm acquired semiconductor and microprocessor company Transmeta in 2009 before it eventually closed in the same year. [24] [25] [26] [20]
Rakib and Ronny Hadani co-founded Cohere Technologies in 2009. [27] [28] They met at one of Hadani's lectures about Orthogonal Time Frequency and Space (OTFS) at the University of Texas at Austin. [29] [30] [31] and founded the company after Rakib devised the idea to apply OTFS to wireless technology and signal processing. [29] [30] The firm focuses on wireless improvements using OTFS and the Delay-Doppler model to improve FDD/TDD spectrum performance. [30] [32] [33]
In 2012,Rakib founded Gainspeed,a company specializing in DAA (Distributed Access Architecture). The company was initially known as Cohere Networks before being renamed Gainspeed in 2013. [34] The firm was acquired by Nokia in 2016.
In 2021,Rakib became a member of CableLabs' Convergence Council,an advisory board focused on building convergence in the cable industry. [35] [36]
Rakib's work has been cited by other scholars over 600 times. [37] His work has also been cited in textbooks. [38] His notable works include:
Rakib has been granted more than 150 patents during the last few decades. [1] [39] Notable patents include (among others):
