SatixFy<\/b> has landed a deal to supply chips to Astrome<\/b>, in a move the company says takes its business into the terrestrial 5G market and establishes a foothold in India. Astrome is a tech startup based in Bengaluru, India, developing a \u201cGigamesh\u201d terrestrial backhaul technology. <\/p>\n
GigaMesh is a multi-gigabit wireless X-haul radio that Astrome is developing to deploy 5G in suburban areas and broadband in rural areas. SatixFy\u2019s PRIME 1 beamformer chip will power Astrome\u2019s next-gen GigaMesh product, which it claims is one of the only point-to-multi-point E-band high-speed link for terrestrial 5G in the world. <\/p>\n
The PRIME 1 beamformer chip was initially developed as a building block for SatixFy\u2019s satellite antenna systems. It supports up to 32 antenna elements and can be digitally connected to other PRIME chips to rapidly build a range of antennas. The PRIME 1 chip was developed with the support of the UK Space Agency via the European Space Agency\u2019s ARTES Core Competitiveness Programme. SatixFy did a 5G\/Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) demonstration with OneWeb and ESA in June 2022. <\/p>\n
SatixFy has mainly focused on satellite ground and space segment products, and CEO Ido Gur says entering the terrestrial 5G wireless backhaul market strongly expands its total addressable market. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis new collaboration demonstrates a real appetite for SatixFy\u2019s digital beamforming chips in this new market for us. Furthermore, we are proud that Astrome will be leveraging our competitive edge with our point-to-multipoint capabilities, which will bring them a significant time-to-market advantage over legacy 5G backhaul competitors,\u201d CEO Gur said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
