As the leading supplier of custom logic for wired communications, IBM has the experience that can help you successfully implement advanced semiconductor technologies to enhance networking gear such as routers, switches and base station equipment. Differentiate your designs with world-class IBM embedded DRAM (eDRAM) and high-speed SERDES (HSS) intellectual property (IP), or leverage IBM silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology to boost performance and power efficiency.

The IBM specialty foundry portfolio draws on more than 20 years of expertise to offer advanced, cost-efficient technologies that can help infuse wireless products with more performance, improved processing speeds, integrated features, low standby power and extended battery life. Backed by comprehensive design enablement and robust design models, IBM AMS specialty foundry technologies are optimized for power amplifier, RF switch and power management solutions in smartphones, RF transceivers in base stations, backhaul applications, and more.

Collaborative solutions complement IBM offerings. Take advantage of low-power digital technologies, vertically optimized design platforms, collaborative Linux development for mobile applications and other design enablement, EDA and IP solutions made available through an extended IBM ecosystem.
