LINCOLN, England, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Polymatech Electronics, a global pioneer in semiconductor chip manufacturing headquartered in Chennai, India, has announced a strategic partnership with SimplyRFMW Limited, a South Wales-based SME renowned for its expertise in RF and microwave engineering. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development of cutting-edge RF power amplifiers for 5G and 6G infrastructure, a critical component in next-generation wireless communication systems.
SimplyRFMW, based in Cardiff, was founded by leading academics and industry experts in RF and microwave engineering. Its diverse workforce combines national and international talent to create advanced solutions in this specialised field. The company is renowned for leveraging its deep expertise to design next-generation components critical to wireless communications and other RF applications.
Polymatech Electronics, based in Chennai, is India's first semiconductor chip manufacturer that specialises in PC-centric to the new data-centric world. Polymatech is expanding its product offerings to provide end-to-end solutions, scaling from edge computing to 6G network, cloud, and the emerging fields of AI and autonomous driving. Polymatech is developing new semiconductor technologies, products, and smart solutions that span across a global spectrum of connected markets.
This proposed partnership will initially focus on the research and development of integrated RF components using international semiconductor foundries, after which they will be processed commercially in their California Unit - Nisene Technology Group and Polymatech's advanced packaging capabilities. Key areas of collaboration include designing low-phase-noise RF amplifiers for 5G and 6G infrastructure and exploring the application of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology in extreme environments, such as space and defence systems.
"SIMPLYRFMW has undertaken the task of developing integrated components for future 5G and 6G infrastructure, using international semiconductor foundries and Polymatech's expertise in advanced electronics packaging. We are currently prioritising the preliminary stages of research and development with a strict focus on 5G and 6G applications," said Dr. Chaudhry, Sr Scientist at SimplyRFMW.
Dr. Quaglia, Scientist, SimplyRFMW, emphasised, "Through this proposed collaboration, we seek to purposefully utilise RF power amplifier design capabilities to enhance the product portfolio of Polymatech Electronics. In doing so, we will help establish relationships between Polymatech and South Wales universities and institutions."
Eswara Rao Nandam, CEO & MD of Polymatech Electronics Limited, remarked, "This partnership represents a key step towards Polymatech's vision for Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India). By addressing extreme-temperature requirements for defence and space applications, we aim to deliver robust chips that meet the highest standards of reliability and performance."
Vishaal Nandam, Executive Director of Polymatech Electronics, highlighted, "With the integration of RF technology, Polymatech is taking a pioneering step toward advancing GaN-based dies and HTCC substrates for geostationary satellites. GaN's robustness is already proven in our products, and now, we are targeting its application in space environments. By addressing the challenges of space radiation-galactic cosmic rays, solar energy particles, and trapped particles-we aim to enhance satellite reliability and open new avenues for both scientific exploration and commercial satellite communication."
This partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies. By combining their expertise, Polymatech and SimplyRFMW aim to deliver next-generation solutions that will redefine the landscape of global connectivity and further innovation in telecommunications and defence technologies.
