SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
SiTune IceWings(TM) is raising the bar with superior performance, lowest power
consumption, and most frequency band.
SiTune Corporation a leading provider of Radio Frequency (RF) and mixed-signal
integrated circuits is sampling IceWings(TM) as the lowest power RF transceiver
silicon along with reference designs and complete software platform to Tier-1
customers and partners worldwide. IceWings(TM) feature sets and versatile
architecture will be leveraged by multiple global customers in various products
including 5G NR gNodeB, small cell, CPE, and User Equipment.

IceWings(TM) is an innovative RF transceiver with 4 integrated transmitters and
4 integrated receivers that supports a wide range of standards with signal
frequencies below 7.2GHz and enables mmWave applications by intermediate to
baseband conversion. This unique product with wide-band low noise amplifiers
and one-of-a-kind multi-band capability offers the highest signal quality and
the lowest power consumption in the industry. IceWings(TM) is enabling a
diverse range of TDD/FDD applications including cellular infrastructure designs
as well as private networks and access points. The new silicon is based on
GlobalFoundries (
)(R)' (GF(R)) 22FDX(TM) platform, providing superior performance with digital
and RF enhancements for 5G Sub-7GHz and mmWave infrastructure.
With accelerated investment in the newly opened C-band, or n77/ n78/n79 as the
world's most popular 5G band, equipment manufacturers and network operators are
looking for the best-in-class RF products supporting the wider available
bandwidth in various frequencies. Contrary to traditional solutions with costly
BOM that require multiple high-power chips, IceWings(TM) offers an integrated
low power programmable transceiver for any band and various bandwidths.
"IceWings(TM) not only supports more than 300MHz of bandwidth for multi-carrier
applications in C-band, it's also the lowest power solution in the market
enabling operation in the sweet spot of mid-band in terms of bandwidth and
signal range," says Dr. Marzieh Veyseh SiTune CTO/CPO. "All frequency bands
below 6GHz as well as 6GHz to 7.2GHz are supported with excellent
wide-bandwidth performance. We have been partnering with GF to fabricate
IceWings(TM) based on their leading FDSOI solution, and we are currently
sampling IceWings(TM) to a wide range of enterprise and telco customers
including EdgeQ, targeting use cases from enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) to
critical IoT and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC)"
"GF has been helping customers overcome 5G complexity challenges and rollout
pressures, while minimizing CAPEX and OPEX expenditures, through a combination
of feature-rich solutions and specialized RF post-fab turnkey services that
build on our decades of RF expertise," said Peter Rabbeni, vice president,
wireless infrastructure, and SATCOM business line at GF. "The combination of
SiTune's leading technology and GF's innovative solutions, will unlock a new
wave of immersive user experiences and make industry transformation a reality."
"To be true beneficiaries of 5G, we need to navigate the market through all the
multiplicities and complexities of 5G, intuitively and seamlessly.
IceWings(TM) uniquely addresses the pluralities of 5G in an elegant manner. By
collapsing multiple spectrums, multiple bands, and multiple protocols into a
compact footprint that is efficient, intelligent, and low power, we can distill
5G into a simple construct, ideal for wireless infrastructure," said Hari
Gangadharan, Head of Silicon Engineering of EdgeQ.
"5G's transformative power will be realized by the broad deployment of the
infrastructure in the mid-band. This requires best-in-class RF transceivers,
where IceWings(TM) is a clear technology leader with the highest integration at
the lowest power dissipation," said Hossein Moiin, Operating partner at Cota
Capital and former CTO of Nokia.
"5G networks continue to evolve from NSA to SA and with ramping deployments of
mid-band massive MIMO networks and mmWave networks," said Phil Solis, Research
Director, Connectivity and Smartphone Semiconductors at IDC (

). "What was missing in the market until recently were transceivers and
beamformer ICs with better performance and lower power consumption, and
SiTune's transceivers are an important part of this evolving picture."
