Quantenna Communications, Inc., the leader in ultra-reliable Wi-Fi video networking for whole-home entertainment, announced that The Wall Street Journal has ranked the company 36 on its top 50 list of start-ups that could become the “Next Big Thing.” The third annual ranking of venture-capital backed U.S. companies was compiled by Dow Jones Venture Source from a list of more than 5,900 candidates. Qualifying companies must have received an equity round of financing in the past three years and be valued at less than $1 billion.

According to the Wall Street Journal article, “Key criteria for ranked companies on the list include fundraising success, recent growth in the company’s value and the track record of its founders and board members. The editorial staff of Dow Jones VentureWire also reviewed and ranked the start-ups based on their knowledge of the companies’ products, competition and financial performance.”

“This is a tremendous honor and validates that high-performance, reliable Wi-Fi is the ‘Next Big Thing’ to meet the growing demand to deliver high-quality multi-screen video distribution, mobile offload and numerous other applications in connected homes where reliability and performance matters most,” said Dr. Sam Heidari, CEO of Quantenna. “Only Quantenna has standards-based Wi-Fi video grade performance architecture to deliver a wired-like user experience over wireless networks in the most demanding environments.”
