The team behind GhostWave consists of retired Ohio State electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor Eric Walton and currrent ECE professor Wladimiro Villarroel, who teamed up with Ohio State business alumnus Zody as CEO. The business recently earned $100,000 from the Ohio Third Frontier program to help develop its technology for commercialization.

According to Business First, "GhostWave incorporates licensed electronics technology from Ohio State for low-frequency radar that can detect obstacles – and even sort out priorities of pedestrians vs. potholes– without being subject to jamming or interference from other radar or electronic devices."
