Sivers joins DIFI in satellite network interoperability push
Sivers Semiconductors AB has joined the Digital Intermediate Frequency Interoperability (DIFI) Consortium, an independent space industry group advancing interoperability in satellite and ground system networks.
The DIFI Consortium is an international coalition of industry leaders dedicated to creating and promoting open, standards-based interoperability for digital IF/RF systems. Sivers has joined a growing list of organisations that are aiding in the digital transformation of space, satellite, and related technologies to enhance the industry. Recently, the company announced a partnership to support the development of high-performance, cost-effective digitisers utilising the NXP Layerscape platform for SATCOM, in collaboration with Intelsat, one of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network operators.
“Our advanced RF and optical technologies are at the core of next-generation connectivity and through DIFI, we aim to accelerate innovation and standardization across the satellite and space ecosystem,” said Vickram Vathulya, CEO of Sivers Semiconductors.
Levearging more than two decades of expertise in developing mmWave technology for satellite communications and advanced 5G systems, Sivers Semiconductors as DIFI contributor brings a wealth of experience in mmWave, optical technology and integrated circuits for aerospace, defense and satellite markets.
“Joining DIFI is a strategic step for us as we continue to expand our footprint in the satellite and space communications market,” said Harish Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Wireless Division at Sivers Semiconductors. “Open standards are key to unlocking scalable and interoperable solutions and we are excited to collaborate with other industry leaders to shape the next generation of space-based connectivity.”
