Sivers Semiconductors Announces Multiple New Products for Licensed 5G Bands at Mobile World Congress 2022
Sivers Semiconductors today announces the launch of multiple new products from the recently completed MixComm acquisition including 2nd generation beamformers, frequency converters, high-end fixed wireless access module.
Right in time for Mobile World Congress 2022, Sivers Semiconductors is announcing multiple new products resulting from their recent acquisition of MixComm. These products build on MixComm’s novel architecture and use of RFSOI to enable robust mmWave solutions with optimal RF output power, power efficiency and cost.
The 2nd generation of the award winning SUMMITTM beamformers now cover all of the major FR2 frequencies from 24GHz to 41Ghz with higher linear RF output power over competing products while maintaining at least 2× higher efficiency. The SKYLINETM Frequency Converters have been designed with 5G mmWave wireless infrastructure needs in mind reducing cost and power consumption while enhancing system performance. The WHISTLERTM High-end Fixed Wireless Access Module for Customer Premise Equipment uses both the 2nd generation SUMMIT beamformers and SKYLINE Frequency converter integrated circuits to deliver substantially improved uplink in a tiny, cost-effective module. This enables easy self-install CPE equipment in smaller and more aesthetic form factors.
“It is with great pleasure we now can share more information about our new line of products that are now within the Sivers family. With these products in our portfolio we add state-of-the-art BFICs, new Frequency Converters as well as a very High-end Fixed Wireless Access Module to our portfolio and are now happy to share this with all customers at MWC 2022”, says Anders Storm, Group CEO of Sivers Semiconductors.
Highlights of each of these new Sivers products:
