Sivers Semiconductors has launched the Daybreak 7‑15 GHz beamforming ICs, now generally available for emerging 5G‑Advanced and 6G FR3 applications and defense arrays. The chips deliver industry‑leading broadband transmit power, high efficiency and a low receiver noise figure, while supporting external front‑end modules. Market analysts project a $1.3 billion serviceable addressable market for FR3 by 2030, and Sivers’ product is positioned to capture a share as standards evolve. Development was funded by a $6 million U.S. Department of Defense program with Raytheon and Ericsson as partners.
The UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has awarded £10.4 million to a five‑year EXPRESS programme led by the Universities of Warwick and Southampton.
