- Sivers signed a global distribution agreement with WT Microelectronics.
- The deal covers Sivers' InP lasers and wireless beamformer solutions.
- WT serves more than 25,000 customers across approximately 43 countries.
- Sivers targets AI infrastructure, SATCOM, defense and telecom markets.
- Sivers cited AI photonics and LEO SATCOM growth projections from Yole Group.
Distribution agreement targets global customers
Sivers Semiconductors AB said WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd. will distribute its InP, or Indium Phosphide, lasers and wireless beamformer products and solutions worldwide. WT Microelectronics, which the announcement describes as a world-leading electronics and semiconductor distributor, has a 15% global market share, according to Sivers.
The agreement is intended to broaden Sivers' commercial reach in markets where demand for optical technologies and high-capacity wireless connectivity is growing. Sivers said WT will connect its product portfolio and availability with customers globally and support production ramp fulfilments at scale.
Sivers identifies AI, satellite and defense applications
Sivers develops photonics and wireless solutions for markets including AI data centers, satellite communications, defense and telecom. Its products covered by the agreement include continuous-wave lasers and wireless beamformer technologies.
Vickram Vathulya, CEO of Sivers Semiconductors, said the company is becoming WT Microelectronics' first laser line card. He said the arrangement gives Sivers access to an established global distribution network, demand creation capabilities and support for production ramp fulfilments at scale.
Vathulya also said the partnership reflects the strength of Sivers' innovation and scale in ecosystems serving AI infrastructure, SATCOM and defense.
WT adds Sivers products to its portfolio
Joseph Cheng, SVP of Marketing at WT Microelectronics, said the distributor is pleased to add Sivers' CW lasers and wireless beamformer technologies to its portfolio. He said the solutions address AI data center connectivity, satellite communications and next-generation wireless.
WT said its global distribution network and established customer relationships will help bring the technologies to customers seeking advanced connectivity solutions. The company was founded in 1993 as a Taiwan-based semiconductor components distributor. Together with Future Electronics, it partners with more than 400 suppliers and serves a customer base of over 25,000 customers worldwide across Asia Pacific, the Americas and EMEA.
Market growth underpins the partnership
Sivers cited Yole Group estimates that the market for InP continuous-wave DFB lasers in AI photonics is set to grow at 63% annually to $43.5B by 2031. It also said Yole expects the LEO SATCOM market, among applications for mmWave BFICs, to grow by up to $1.2B by 2031.
The announcement does not specify expected orders, delivery dates or revenue from the agreement. Sivers said those areas, along with the timing and scale of customer production ramps, are forward-looking matters subject to risks including customer production plans, end-market demand and manufacturing capacity. For customers, the deal means Sivers' optical and wireless products will be offered through a distributor with a broad international network. For Sivers, it creates a distribution route into markets linked to AI infrastructure and satellite connectivity.
