Sivers Semiconductors AB announced a global distribution agreement on November 11, 2026, under which WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd. will distribute its InP lasers and wireless beamformer products. WT Microelectronics holds a 15% global market share and serves 25,000 customers across approximately 43 countries, according to the announcement from [news.cision.com](https://news.cision.com/sivers-semiconductors/r/sivers-semiconductors-expands-global-market-reach-through-strategic-agreement-with-wt-microelectroni,c4422591).

## How the WT Microelectronics Agreement Works

WT Microelectronics will carry [Sivers Semiconductors](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000eqi/sivers-semiconductors)' InP (Indium Phosphide) lasers and wireless beamformer products and solutions, connecting the portfolio with customers globally. The agreement covers markets where demand for optical technologies and high-capacity wireless connectivity is growing, the company said.

"Partnering with WT Microelectronics and becoming their first laser line card gives Sivers access to an established global distribution network, strong demand creation capabilities and the ability to support production ramp fulfilments at scale," said Vickram Vathulya, CEO of Sivers Semiconductors. He said the partnership commitment indicates the innovation and scale Sivers is bringing to the AI infrastructure, SATCOM and defense ecosystems.

Joseph Cheng, SVP of Marketing at WT Microelectronics, said the distributor is adding Sivers' CW lasers and wireless beamformer technologies to its portfolio. "Our global distribution network and established customer relationships position us to bring these technologies to customers seeking advanced connectivity solutions," Cheng said.

WT Microelectronics chairman Eric Cheng said on November 5, 2026, that the long-term AI growth trend remains intact, while the automotive and industrial markets have both passed their cyclical troughs, DIGITIMES Asia reported. The distributor expects pull-in momentum from the AI supply chain to remain strong from the fourth quarter of 2026 through 2027, DIGITIMES Asia reported on November 6, 2026.

## Sivers' Pipeline and Revenue Figures

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Sivers' opportunity pipeline grew 77% year-to-date to $799 million by Q1 2026, driven by higher production forecasts from existing customers and new customer interest in standard products. Full year 2025 net sales reached SEK 304.1 million, up 25% year over year, while Q1 2026 net revenue of SEK 61.9 million represented a 22% year-over-year decline, which the same records attribute to the U.S. Government shutdown in Q4 2025, associated defense budget approval delays and unfavorable exchange rates.

## Earlier Sivers Deals Leading to the Agreement

In June 2026, Sivers received an $8.2 million production order from ALL.SPACE for multi-beam Ka-band beamforming ICs, with volume production scheduled through 2027 for next-generation tactical terminals supporting the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and Royal Canadian Navy, according to akta.pro company records. That same month, Sivers announced a strategic collaboration with GlobalFoundries to integrate its laser arrays into GlobalFoundries' silicon photonics platform and SCALE optical engine solutions, targeting the projected $25 billion Pluggable Optics market by 2030, the same records show.

In September 2026, Sivers showcased a 100mW O-band CW DFB laser chip and an eight-channel array at CIOE 2026, designed for 800G and 1.6T transceivers, Electronics Weekly reported. The chip operates at 1270-1330nm with 200/400GHz spacing, and the company plans a $30 million expansion of its Glasgow plant next year, according to Electronics Weekly.
