Chip giant Broadcom acquires MagnaCom for $5 million to seize 5G

When most of us are still using the fourth generation of mobile phone technology (commonly known as 4G), the best in the technology world have already "showed their hands and feet" in the development stage of the fifth generation (5G) products. According to reports, the Israeli startup MagnaCom has developed a new modulation technology that will likely become the cornerstone of future cellular networks. On May 17, Singapore chip giant Broadcom announced a $50 million acquisition of MagnaCom.

MagnaCom's 5G foundation product: WAM

The technology currently developed by MagnaCom is called WAM. Through a particular carrier, WAM can provide a non-traditional method of information transfer, which is called "modulation." MagnaCom offers solutions that enable mobile technology providers to benefit from a better frequency range, higher bandwidth and lower power consumption. In addition, all technologies are available on existing infrastructure without the need to set up new antenna equipment.

It may be the basis of the fifth-generation network, and WAM is currently in the late stage of adjustment and standardization. At the same time, the technology may also be used to develop and upgrade WiFi products, satellite communications technology, limited TV and modems, and more. According to MagnaCom, with WAM, mobile phone companies can save billions of dollars in the purchase and use of new frequency licenses, and WAM can help them save energy.

It is worth noting that the technology needs to be based on more than 15 approved patents and more than 50 patented technologies in the approval process. Once developed, WAM will be used as a replacement for quadrature amplitude modulation technology in as many applications as possible.

He has won several global electronic awards, and MagnaCom is finally included in the chip giant Broadcom.

MagnaCom was founded in 2012, and CEO YossiCohen was an executive at Motorola until the company was acquired by Google in 2012 before leaving the company to establish MagnaCom. Chief Technology Officer Amir Eliaz is a senior manager of the global telecommunications giant ECI's network product portfolio and the founder of chip developer Provigent (another company acquired by Broadcom). MagnaCom's technology research and development center is located in Petitikwa, Israel, and has an office in California. The company's products have won several awards, including the 2015 CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) series of awards. Since its inception, MagnaCom has raised millions of dollars and all of its funds come from individual investors.

The acquisition, Broadcom, was acquired by Singapore-based semiconductor supplier Avago for up to $37 billion a year ago. After the merger of the two companies, the new company is still known as Broadcom. This is the first acquisition after the merger of the company. Previously, Broadcom had acquired more than 10 Israeli companies, including the acquisition of high-tech companies Dune Networks, Provigent and SCSquare in 2011.
