A genuine, Gigabit speed alternative or complement to fiber connections, operating in the licensed and unlicensed spectra.
Fast, wireless connections, known as fixed wireless access (FWA), are a cost-effective alternative to the copper network (DSL), cable and fiber. The market, which exists for both licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, is driven by an increased need for broadband connections to homes, offices and mobile base stations.
Increased traffic, new frequency allocations, state infrastructure investments and general technological development are driving the trend of large-scale FWA roll-outs globally. In the United States alone, USD 20.4 billion will be invested in broadband solutions over the next ten years through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF).
FWA – a costeffective alternative5G operators that complement their mobile networks with FWA mmWave solutions (> 24 GHz) for data transport reduce the life cycle cost by up to 30 percent.3) In 2021, FWA accounted for more than 15 percent of global mobile data traffic, and the number of connections is expected to increase from 100 million in 2022 to 300 million in 2028. By then, FWA is expected to deliver broadband to more than 900 million people. (Ericsson Mobility Report, November 2022)
When choosing a wireless alternative, there are a couple of preliminary choices – licensed or unlicensed? What speed, range, and throughput do you need to offer? Sivers Semiconductors offers a broad range of solutions that can exactly match your requirements and budget.
Superior link budgets enable transmission over longer distances to a greater number of addressable customers.
Millimeter-wave technology is opening up new opportunities to serve data at volume at gigabit speeds using high-frequency spectrums.
Wider spectrum, better link budget, longer reach, and a higher number of customers connected means a superior business case.

Slides 5-10 show their new 28 GHz cnWave solution which is a 5G NR mmWave Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) solution for Fixed Wireless Access integrating the 5G RFIC from Sivers Semiconductors.
Presented by Patric Erlandsson, VP Sales & Marketing
At this webinar, Patric Erlandsson covers the use of licensed vs. unlicensed 5G mmWave technology for FWA and how Sivers Semiconductors can enable a state-of-the art solution for 5G mmWave customer-premises equipment (CPE).
For unlicensed 5G, Sivers Semiconductors has developed a highly integrated RFIC with superior link budget and throughput. With high output power, high throughput, and support for electronic beamforming, the TRXBF01 has 16+16 transmit and receive channels, with great performance across the 6 channels in the 57 to 71 GHz range, ideal for those who want to develop their own antenna solution.
For those who do not have the time, resources or capability to develop their own antennas, Sivers Semiconductors offers a phased array patch antenna with a unique coverage from 57 to 71 GHz. It can support electronic beamforming both in azimuth and in elevation and can also enable high throughput at maximum allowed transmitted power (+40 dBm).
Renesas millimeter-wave baseband wireless modems for wireless backhaul and fixed infrastructure wireless access applications. Cost-effective and power-efficient, they can be paired with mmWave RF chipsets to deliver multi-gigabit throughput. Highly configurable with a radio interface already integrated with Sivers Semiconductors 60 GHz RF solutions.
For licensed 5G, Sivers Semiconductors has developed an RFIC that includes all the necessary building blocks for NR Fixed Wireless Access deployments – on one chip. Fewer components mean a reduced bill of material and higher build quality, giving you a competitive edge. The TRX BF/02 is also uniquely flexible, covering the full frequency band from 24.0 to 29.5 GHz.
