Sivers named finalist for GSA award
Sivers Semiconductors, a company focussed on photonics and wireless technologies, has been named as one of the finalists for the 'Outstanding EMEA Semiconductor Company Award' by the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA).
The award celebrates companies headquartered in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa that demonstrate exceptional strength across multiple dimensions, including innovation, market impact, leadership, financial performance, innovation potential, risk management, and social contributions.
Sivers says this recognition underscores its critical role in advancing high-performance, energy-efficient solutions for AI data centres, satellite communications and global communications networks.
Sivers’ high-precision, high power laser arrays are designed to enable a new era of optical interconnects for AI data centres, overcoming data bottlenecks while significantly reducing power consumption. In collaboration with customers like Ayar Labs, Sivers is accelerating the transition from electrical to optical interconnects, a crucial step for scaling AI workloads and improving energy efficiency.
Sivers laser photonics portfolio was exhibited at the European Conference for Optical Communications (ECOC) show in September 2024, with its 16 wavelength laser arrays alongside Ayar Labs optical I/O chiplets to offer 4x improvement in bandwidth and bandwidth density as well as a 4x improvement in energy per bit transferred over 8 wavelength laser array configurations.
Sivers’ RF beamforming integrated circuits provide energy efficiency and high bandwidth solutions for stacks and 5G networks. Partnerships with innovators like All.Space and Thorium Space while adding new blue-chip SATCOM and 5G customers, demonstrate Sivers’ ability to deliver timely, cutting-edge solutions for Satellite Communications and other data networks.
Sivers’ impact has been further solidified through its two recent US CHIPS Act awards in 2024. These awards fund critical 5G/6G and electronic warfare “lab to fab” projects, reflecting Sivers’ opportunity to expand into the defence sector. Collaborations with industry players like BAE Systems and Raytheon underscore its strategic importance and innovative capabilities.
“Our technologies are at the heart of the most transformative secular trends in global communications networks,” said Vickram Vathulya, CEO of Sivers Semiconductors. “Being named a finalist for this prestigious award validates our relentless commitment to innovation, sustainability, and addressing the complex challenges of tomorrow’s data-driven world.”
The final winners of all GSA Awards will be announced on December 5th at the GSA Awards Dinner Celebration in Santa Clara, California.
