Sivers Semiconductors Launches 7–15GHz Beamforming ICs for 5G-Advanced and 6G FR3 Markets
New Daybreak™ chipset targets emerging $1.3B opportunity in next-generation wireless infrastructure and defence applications
Sivers Semiconductors AB (STO: SIVE), a global leader in photonics and wireless technologies, announced general availability of its 7-15GHz Daybreak™ beamforming ICs for emerging 5G/6G FR3 applications as well as multi-function defence arrays. FR3 frequencies are the next frontier for 5G-Advanced and 6G network deployments, combining the benefits of superior propagation at sub-6GHz and wider bandwidths at millimetre-wave frequencies.
While global standardisation of the FR3 band is pending, Yole Intelligence 5G/6G market reports estimate a $1.3B SAM in 2030 based on FR3 penetration assumptions in base stations and CPE.
Sivers' DAYBREAK0715 beamforming ICs deliver industry-leading broadband transmit power and efficiency, while also offering state-of-the-art receiver noise figure. The ICs also support integration with external front-end modules.
"Daybreak™ is already getting a lot of interest from several customers," said Harish Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Wireless Division at Sivers Semiconductors. "This product will accelerate our customer solutions to the market for base stations and CPE devices as the interest in FR3 continues to grow worldwide."
The new chipset was developed under the $6M US Department of Defense (DoD) Microelectronics Commons 5G/6G project awarded to Sivers in 2024 and included Raytheon and Ericsson as partners.
