KISTA, Sweden, Feb 23, 2026 – Sivers Semiconductors has made its Cloudchaser beamforming chipset and Maverick antenna-array panels available for Ka-band SATCOM ground terminals. The hardware supports electronic beam steering for high-frequency satellite communications.
Sivers’ Cloudchaser integrates the BLUEWAY1721 receive beamforming IC with the STAMPEDE2731/ STAMPEDE2731LP transmit beamforming ICs for Ka-band SATCOM ground terminals. The chipset supports electronically steered antennas with two concurrent beams. That capability enables “make-before-break” handoffs and two simultaneous links across satellites, orbits and networks. High and medium transmit power options allow customers to balance terminal size, configuration complexity and energy consumption.
“Making Cloudchaser and Maverick available for the broad market allows customers to begin evaluating and integrating the technology into next-generation SATCOM terminals,” said Harish Krishnaswamy, managing director, wireless division at Sivers Semiconductors. “This marks an important step in supporting scalable, production-ready Ka-band phased array designs at a time when strategic demand for our technology is rapidly increasing, both from the European ecosystem as well as worldwide.”
Sivers is releasing the Maverick (BFM02701 and BFM02702) Ka-band transmit and receive array panels to accelerate SATCOM ground terminal development. The Maverick platform integrates the Cloudchaser chipset with antenna arrays, reducing engineering complexity for Ka-band deployments.
Sivers Semiconductors will showcase these solutions at MWC Barcelona 2026, Hall 5, Stand 5E2.
