WAAV, Inc., formerly Omniwav Mobile, Inc., manufactures and sells mobile broadband cellular routers. Waav was founded by a group of Computer network, Telecom, and Radio frequency (RF) engineers in San Diego, CA in 2004. Since then, the company has pioneered mobile cellular equipment for custom car clients such as Snoop Dogg and corporate fleets including Bolt Bus (Greyhound) and Peter Pan Bus Lines. In 2008, Waav wired the commuter rail division of Boston's mass transit agency, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), making it the first US rail carrier to offer Wi-Fi service. Other deployments have involved custom cars, first-responder police/fire vehicles and the train used by U.S. President Barack Obama during his January 2009 inaugural trip to Washington, DC.
WAAV (pronounced "Wave"[citation needed]) has been featured in Business 2.0, Entrepreneur Magazine, and others business outlets. The company is privately held and has its corporate headquarters in Cambridge, MA.
