Pivotal Commware picks MACOM for RF

Pivotal Commware has integrted MACOM’s mmWave products manufactured with MACOM’s unique ‘GaAs’ and ‘AlGaAs’ process technology, inside Pivotal’s Echo 5G product line designed for delivering superior broadband experiences to more subscribers at less cost.

Pivotal Commware is the creator of Holographic Beam Forming (HBF), an antenna technology that expands the capacity and spectral efficiency of the 5G ecosystem, from base stations to network and subscriber devices. The Echo 5G product line leverages HBF’s lowest cost, size, weight and power consumption profile to help network operators improve performance, lower costs and compete in new markets.

Pivotal's window-mounted, self-installable Echo 5G Subscriber product, for example, will overcome the biggest obstacle to fixed 5G wireless access at millimeter waves -- in-building penetration of Gigabit speed broadband to homes and businesses. Holographic Beam Forming allows Echo 5G to penetrate Low-E glass coatings and multiple panes of glass using very little power, which drives its low weight and size profile on the window. MACOM’s mmWave technology leverages and extends these capabilities.

“MACOM’s broad portfolio of amplification, signal generation and control components across the microwave and mmWave spectrum, coupled with our unmatched heterolithic integration capabilities, offer the industry’s lowest insertion loss and best noise figure, providing superior reception for macrocell basestations and fixed wireless access points.”
