Peraso and pSemi Collaborate on RF Solution for 5G mmWave Fixed Wireless Access

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2023 / Peraso Inc., and pSemi, a Murata company, together announced a successful RF solution for mmWave fixed wireless access customer premises equipment (CPE) using Peraso's new PRS1520 beamformer RFIC and pSemi's PE128300 up-down converter.

The mmWave frequency bands provide extensive RF spectrum, which is ideal for fixed wireless access delivering multi-gigabit services. Leveraging 5G mobile infrastructure, mobile network operators (MNOs) in many global regions are starting to roll out fixed wireless services, directly competing with cable and fiber and reaching areas underserved by current broadband providers.

"The key to economically delivering broadband FWA on a global scale is a low-cost customer terminal," says Ron Glibbery, Peraso's CEO. "Peraso's beamformer, in combination with pSemi's up-down converter, should dramatically reduce the number of components and cost for the RF module. Peraso is pleased to cooperate with other premier component suppliers such as pSemi to provide solutions the industry needs."

The Peraso PRS1520 supports all the major mmWave bands and offers sufficient transmit power to meet the EIRP expectations for Class 1 CPE. In combination with pSemi's high-performance PE128300, system developers can realize a cost-efficient RF solution for n257, n258, and n261 (24.25-29.5 GHz) bands.

"We are excited to announce the successful integration of our up-down converter with Peraso's beamformer," says Vikas Choudhary, Vice President of Global Sales, Marketing and System Engineering at pSemi. "This is a major milestone in our collaboration with Peraso, and it demonstrates pSemi's commitment to work across platforms and deliver choice and flexibility to the industry. We are pleased to be the preferred solution provider for customers looking to accelerate the industry by offering the best possible 5G mmWave solutions. This integration promotes faster time to market supporting 5G mmWave fixed wireless access and private networks alike."

Peraso and pSemi will participate in the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) next week, June 11-16, in San Diego, CA. Peraso's hardware will be available to see at the Richardson RFPD booth 2035, and pSemi will be at booth 1725. Peraso's Director of RF/mmWave IC Design, Austin Chen, will give an industry keynote on mmWave phased array transceiver chipsets and modules on Tuesday, June 13, at 11:30 a.m. PST (Session Tu2C-6).
