Per Vices, The Rare YC Hardware Startup, Sets Out To Disrupt Wireless Communications

Y Combinator might be best known for software plays like Dropbox and Airbnb. But it's also harbored a few hardware companies, notably the one that blew out Kickstarter funding records with Pebble Watch this month. There's actually one more waiting in the wings. Per Vices is a startup from the latest class that's looking to disrupt how wireless communications are sent. They've built a device called Phi that can interact with any wireless or radio signal. It's a transceiver that can demodulate and process signal data up to 4 Gigahertz. In plain English, that means one of Per Vices' devices can re-route your cell phone calls through your landline connection, if for example you have bad 3G service in your house.
