Anokiwave Inc of San Diego, CA, USA – which provides highly integrated silicon core chips and III-V front-end integrated circuits for millimeter-wave (mmW) markets and active antenna-based solutions – has expanded its design center in Billerica, MA into a newly remodeled office to accommodate its rapid growth in highly integrated IC solutions for 5G communications, mobile satellite communications, and aerospace & defense markets that require millimetre-wave active antenna-based solutions.
With the expansion, Anokiwave has more than doubled its lab area for design validation and pilot-production activities and now features the capability for pilot production of mmW wafer-level chip-scale packaged (WLCSP) ICs within the facility.
The updated modern open-concept floor plan includes a low-noise environment suitable for engineering teams, energy-efficient LED lights, with areas to accommodate larger groups including ‘huddle rooms’ for employees to utilize for meetings and brain-storming sessions. Anokiwave’s initiative to go green with motion sensor lights and updated electronics has continued to be a priority.
“Anokiwave’s continued product leadership in the rapidly evolving mmW active antenna market required a larger space to accommodate our growing staff,” says chief operating officer Carl Frank. “The highly integrated silicon IC design expertise and innovative culture is at the core of Anokiwave’s mission of enabling a new world,” says founder & chief technology officer Nitin Jain. “Our team continues to demonstrate leadership in the market with exciting new product launches planned over the next few months in our key 5G, SatCom, and radar markets.”
