DragonWave co-founder leaves to start new firm

One of DragonWave’s co-founders announced this week he is leaving the firm – but he isn’t going far.

Erik Boch, who had been DragonWave’s CTO and vice-president of engineering, has founded a new firm called Ranzure Networks, where he will also be CTO. Ranzure Networks will focus on next-generation customized wireless service to support the Internet of Things.

The new company has some financial backing from Mitel, and will use Mitel Mobile technology to deliver a cloud-based platform enabling wireless connectivity of 5G networks.

With Mr. Boch’s departure, Ingrid Mag will become vice-president of product development and Yu Qi will assume responsibility for the Chinese market.
