Closed some time during the Summer 2015, Sand 9 had been a well funded, soldly backed technology and engineering company developing precision MEMS timing products that serve wireless and wired systems in communications, industrial, military and mobile markets. Spun out of Boston University and organized aroun the design of Radio Frequency components that would improve the performance and increase the capabilities of wireless devices the firm's disruptive proprietary technology appeared to offer an order of magnitude improvement over existing products. Based on the companyâs piezoelectric MEMS architecture, Sand 9âs timing products outperformed both legacy quartz timing devices and other MEMS-based solutions, enhancing quality and performance, simplifying system design, and promoting space and power savings in integrated electronic syste
