Sivers Semiconductors AB announced general availability of its 7 to 15 GHz DaybreakTM beamforming ICs for emerging 5G/6G frequency range 3 (FR3) applications as well as multi-function defense arrays. FR3 frequencies are the next frontier for 5G-Advanced and 6G network deployments, combining the benefits of superior propagation at sub-6 GHz and wider bandwidths at millimeter-wave frequencies.
While global standardization of the FR3 band is pending, Yole Intelligence 5G/6G market reports estimate a $1.3 billion SAM in 2030 based on FR3 penetration assumptions in base stations and CPE.
Sivers’ DAYBREAK0715 beamforming ICs delivers 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.
“DaybreakTM 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 Microelectronics Commons 5G/6G project awarded to Sivers in 2024 and included Raytheon and Ericsson as partners.
