Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Chemeris is a founder and CTO with 20 years of experience building disruptive telecommunications and open-source projects, currently leading Fairwaves to lower the cost of rural and private 4G/5G networks. He pioneered OpenRAN base stations since 2011, driving deployments across Mexico, Nigeria, Tanzania, China, the Philippines and Australia and partnering with major players like Facebook and Google to extend connectivity to the next billion users. Equally at home in hands-on engineering and company strategy, he has moved Fairwaves from a rural-coverage play to targeting private mobile networks with multi-market commercial potential. Earlier roles include leading RAN initiatives at YADRO, founding a hacker community in Moscow, and substantial open-source work on VoIP and radio projects. Based in Brookline, MA, he combines deep telecom protocol and hardware integration expertise with practical productization skills and a track record of turning loss-making coverage into viable businesses. A detail that surprises: he deliberately curates his network and prefers introductions, reflecting a focused, outcomes-driven approach to collaboration.
