This acquisition improves our portfolio of electrical and optical answers in the most innovative system systems. The multi-12 months obtaining framework contains coherent optical solutions, and with the Banias acquisition, Alphawave is increasing its total addressable sector by providing upcoming era coherent optical options for the most innovative information centers.”

Started in 2021, Banias Labs, which has remained in stealth, has produced DSP chips that utilize proprietary technological innovation enabling extremely-significant pace communications, alongside one another with actual physical layer safety.

According to StartUp Nation Central, Banias Labs was started by Avigdor Willenz, a veteran serial entrepreneur. He was the founder and CEO of communications chip firm Galileo Technologies which was marketed to Marvell for $2.7 billion in 2000. He also launched semiconductor platform Annapurna Labs, which was marketed to Amazon for $370 million in 2015, Leaba Semicnductor, which was bought to Cisco in 2016, and Habana Labs, which was sold to Intel for $2 billion in 2019.
