Sivers Wireless Announces New 5G Design Win for 60GHz mmWave IC

Sivers Semiconductors' subsidiary Sivers Wireless has won a design deal for its 60 GHz mmWave IC and antenna module with TMYTEK in Taiwan, announced the company on Wednesday.

Sivers also received a small, first order of evaluation kits and BFM06009 RF modules. The BFM06009 is the latest Sivers 60 GHz antenna module and the only widely commercially available antenna module supporting the full 57-71 GHz band as well as two-dimensional beam steering.

TMYTEK is located in Taiwan, providing mmWave solutions for FWA (Fixed Wireless Access), 5G and satellite communications to the global market. The units provided to TMYTEK will be a vital part in TMYTEKs development of a new 60 GHz product.

The BFM06009 is optimized for large scale broadband network deployments with 2D beam steering and superior link budget – further enabling operators maximum reach and effectively connecting more users per access point at longer distances than standard products – hence optimizing the business case for Wireless Internet Service Providers and others wanting to offer gigabit broadband.

Anders Storm, Group CEO of Sivers SemiconductorsWe are very pleased to get this design win and our second order from TMYTEK this year. The BFM06009 targets the Fixed Wireless Access market and we are excited about the growth potential TMYTEK’s interest in our technology implies for our 5G mmWave products in both Asia and globally.
