GS Microelectronics U.S., Inc. and Tarana Wireless, Inc. Expand Strategic RF Partnership to Accelerate Next-Gen Wireless Innovation
Collaboration strengthens RF transceiver development, advancing fibre-class fixed wireless access and future 6G, 7G, and Wi-Fi 7 technologies
GS Microelectronics U.S., Inc. (GSME) announced a strategic partnership with Tarana Wireless, Inc. to support RF transceiver products and accelerate the future roadmap of wireless technologies. The deal strengthens the long-standing partnership between GSME and Tarana, enhancing the overall market value by providing dedicated RF-Analogue engineering support for Tarana's products. The team will support Tarana's customers with ongoing product optimization, validation, and new releases across its current RF transceiver portfolio and future RF products.
As part of this strategic partnership, GSME will deliver wireless solutions across the global ecosystem. The team will continue to support Tarana's next-generation FWA technology that uniquely delivers fibre-class performance at wireless economics. In addition to Tarana support, the GSME team will accelerate its innovations for global telecom customers in areas that include 6G, 7G, and Wi-Fi 7.
GSME's recently acquired RF-Analogue team is developing a next‑generation flexible radio transceiver platform, strengthening the company's ability to deliver high‑performance silicon solutions from concept to mass production. Led by Didier Margairaz, VP of RF and Analogue, the team brings deep expertise across the full product lifecycle, including:
- RFIC & Analogue Design: Advanced MIMO Wi-Fi and RF products.
- Specialised Expertise: mmWave, RF transceivers, VCOs, PLLs, clock generation, and PMIC design.
- Successful Product Launches: Proven delivery of high-performance 8T8R Wi-Fi and 4T4R C-band/sub-7GHz solutions.
"This agreement formalises a powerful and natural evolution of our relationship with Tarana," said Farhat Jahangir, President and CEO of GSME. "GSME has strengthened its ability to deliver high-performance RF transceiver innovation. We are committed to supporting Tarana's roadmap with engineering excellence, responsiveness, and next-generation semiconductor solutions."
"Tarana's mission to deliver advanced wireless broadband depends on a world-class RF technology and strong collaboration," said Sri Reddy, President & COO of Tarana. "By partnering closely with GSME, we ensure continuity of expertise and accelerated development across our RF platforms. This agreement reinforces our ability to execute our long-term product roadmap while maintaining the highest standards of performance and reliability."
GSME now offers comprehensive capabilities that bridge the gap between architectural design and mass production release, providing integrated design expertise for RF & PMIC. The services also include advanced simulation capabilities, including full EM analysis, extraction, and simulations for both package and PCB design. Furthermore, the team ensures high-quality production through full post-silicon characterisation and support for ATE test vector generation. They are already driving momentum with a new "Flexible Radio" RFIC proposal featuring high-end transceivers for Wi-Fi 7, cellular, and Fixed Wireless Access applications.
