Technetix promotes Laro to Director of Research
May 6, 2025
Technetix has announced the promotion of Matthijs Laro to Director of Research.
Laro was responsible for the development of Technetix’ patented Direction Neutral Amplifier (DNA) technology. The technology, deployed across multiple products, enables ultra-wideband bi-directional signal flow on broadband cable network amplifiers without diplexers, providing maximum flexibility and enabling networks with future optionality.
Holding six patents, Technetix says that Laro’s promotion “reflects not only his lasting impact on broadband innovation, but his outstanding technical leadership. In 2023, he led the design for the Technetix solution for VodafoneZiggo’s successful DOCSIS 4.0 field trial, further demonstrating his ability to translate advanced concepts into real-world solutions that shape the industry’s future”.
Matthijs’s training specialized in a master’s degree in RF Technology within the Mixed Signal Microelectronics Group at Eindhoven University of Technology, following his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Eindhoven. In a career at Technetix that began only a decade ago, he has made a significant impact being instrumental in the development of a number of groundbreaking technologies, already having filed six patents.
In recognition of his aptitude for leadership, Laro will also coach the R&D team in innovation and research.
Jan Ariesen, CTO, commented: “I am very pleased to see Matthijs grow as a leader in innovation. He has the capability to think outside the box, and this is combined with an extremely good theoretical background, makes him a true innovator. A well-deserved promotion.”
