Sivers Semiconductors announced a development contract with Blu Wireless. Under the contract, Sivers will design and develop advanced 5G long range antenna modules that operate within the 57-71 GHz license exempt band, providing high-speed broadband communication links for track-to-train applications. The contract revenue will be recognized completely in 2024. Railway operators have long sought to improve their Wi-Fi quality but have faced major
technical and cost challenges to deliver reliable broadband to their customers. This partnership enables Sivers Semiconductors to deliver longer links supporting multi-gigabit, reliable communication solutions that meet the demands of modern high-speed rail systems, ensuring seamless, high-speed internet access even at speeds exceeding 300 km/h. Blu Wireless received funding from Innovate UK to lead a project pioneering advancements in telecommunication technologies for rail. In addition, the company recently secured an investment of an undisclosed amount from Maven Capital Partners to help both promote and drive sustainable economic growth and support innovation.
