📋 Tender Overview
Fabless semiconductor company specializes in silicon-based power amplifiers and RF Front-End Module products for the cellular IoT and 5G marketsST further strengthens its capacity to develop and offer stand-alone and STM32-based connectivity solutionsSTMicroelectronics a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications today announced the acquisition and integration of the assets of SOMOS Semiconductor SOMOS. SOMOS based in Marly-le-Roy France is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2018 and specialized in silicon-based power amplifiers and in RF Front-End Modules FEM products.With this acquisition ST reinforces its specialist staff IP and roadmaps of Front-End Modules for the IoT and 5G markets. A first product an NB-IoT CAT-M1 module is already undergoing qualification and will be the inception of a new roadmap of connectivity RF FEM products. SOMOS technology and assets will also support the development of STs existing roadmap of RF Front-End Modules for the 5G infrastructure market.Consumers and Industry expect more and better connectivity solutions. At ST we are committed to offering and enabling solutions to address these needs and challenges. Cellular IoT and 5G infrastructure technologies are key in that perspective. With this acquisition we reinforce our ambition to play a major role in RF FEM for a buoyant connectivity IoT market and we strengthen our roadmap of RF Front-End for the 5G markets said Claude Dardanne President Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group at STMicroelectronics. With the recent acquisition of BeSpoon for UWB technology and Riot Micro for NB-IoT modems ST now offers its customers complete connectivity solutions leveraging the market-leading STM32 solutions and ecosystem.
