WT to distribute Sivers’ InP lasers and wireless solutions
Sivers Semiconductors AB of Kista, Sweden (which supplies RF beam-former ICs and lasers for AI data-center, SATCOM, defense and telecom applications) has announced a global distribution agreement with electronics and semiconductors distributor WT Microelectronics Co Ltd.
With a 15% global market share, WT will serve as a global distribution partner for Sivers’ indium phosphide (InP) lasers and wireless beamformer products and solutions, connecting its product portfolio and availability at scale with customers globally. The agreement supports Sivers’ efforts to expand its commercial reach in markets where demand for optical technologies and high-capacity wireless connectivity continues to grow.
“Partnering with WT Microelectronics and becoming their first laser line-card gives Sivers access to an established global distribution network, strong demand creation capabilities and the ability to support production ramp fulfilments at scale,” says Sivers’ CEO Vickram Vathulya. “The WT partnership commitment is an indication of the strength of the innovation and scale Sivers is bringing to the ecosystems in AI infrastructure, SATCOM and defense.”
Yole Group forecasts that the market for InP continuous-wave distributed feedback (DFB) lasers for AI photonics applications will grow at 63% annually to $43.5bn by 2031. Among the applications for mmWave beam-former ICs, the LEO (low earth orbit) SATCOM market is a fast-growing segment, where Yole expects growth up to $1.2bn by 2031.
Sivers’ CW lasers and wireless beamformer technologies “address important and expanding markets, including AI data-center connectivity, satellite communications, and next-generation wireless,” comments Joseph Cheng, WT’s senior VP of marketing. “Our global distribution network and established customer relationships position us to bring these technologies to customers seeking advanced connectivity solutions.”
