en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 25, pSemi announced it will showcase its RF technology and solutions for mobile and wired broadband, wireless connectivity, wireless infrastructure, and test & measurement applications at the IMS 2026 exhibition, taking place June 9–11, 2026, in Boston, USA. The company will be at booth #17090.

The focus of this showcase will be its RF switch portfolio. pSemi plans to exhibit general-purpose RF switches, broadband switches, and high-power RF switches designed to support signal path switching, front-end control, broadband transmission, and highly reliable connections in communication and network systems. For mobile terminals, wired broadband equipment, wireless infrastructure, and test & measurement systems, RF switches—while not the most conspicuous component—directly impact insertion loss, linearity, power handling, switching speed, and system stability. As wireless communication frequency bands multiply, broadband access rates increase, and the complexity of RF chains within devices grows, RF front-end components are transitioning from single-function elements to critical foundational devices that influence overall system performance.

pSemi will also highlight land mobile radio and satellite communication applications as key focus areas at its booth. These scenarios demand high standards for RF switching, connection reliability, and system scalability.

Wired broadband is one of the key application lines pSemi will feature at this showcase. According to the company's website, its wired broadband solutions target cable modems, set-top boxes, and gateway devices, supporting the higher speeds and higher-order modulation requirements driven by the evolution of DOCSIS standards. DOCSIS 4.0 can utilize higher spectrum resources on existing coaxial cables to boost downstream and upstream rates; this requires RF components to maintain higher performance in terms of low insertion loss, low spurious emissions, and high linearity. Leveraging its UltraCMOS technology platform, pSemi offers 75-ohm wired broadband RF switches, RF attenuators, and phase and amplitude control products, serving home broadband and carrier network upgrades.

Mobile and wireless infrastructure scenarios correspond to the ongoing upgrades of 5G, Wi-Fi, satellite communications, private networks, and future 6G-related systems. Recent product information on pSemi's website indicates its new offerings include an 8.5GHz ultra-compact RF switch for Wi-Fi 6E and ultra-wideband applications, as well as a Sub-6GHz switch product for Massive MIMO base stations. Such devices typically need to combine high linearity, low loss, fast switching, and power handling capability in small packages to meet the demands of antenna arrays, hybrid beamforming, RF front-end modules, and multi-band communication systems.

IMS 2026 is part of the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium series. Official information indicates this year's event will be held in Boston from June 7 to 12, expecting to bring together over 500 exhibitors and more than 8,000 professionals. The conference program includes the RFIC Symposium, the RF Systems & Applications Symposium, the RF Technology & Techniques Symposium, and concludes with the ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference. By choosing to concentrate its showcase on RF switches and broadband technologies at this exhibition, pSemi is targeting RF engineers, system design teams, equipment manufacturers, test & measurement companies, and communication infrastructure customers.

Subsequent milestones for the project include live product demonstrations at IMS 2026, technical exchanges with customers, the disclosure of specific models and application solutions, and whether the related RF switch products enter the design cycles of mobile, wired broadband, satellite communications, and test & measurement customers. Currently available public information primarily points to the exhibition showcase plan and product direction, without disclosing new orders, customer lists, mass production projects, or specific sales volumes. Therefore, it should not be extrapolated into having secured large-scale commercial contracts.
