The 149-year-old Swedish firm that helped write the rules of 5G now has to prove those networks can grow again - under a new CEO and an AI-driven cost squeeze.
mmTron is a Redwood City, California semiconductor company that designs high-performance millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs). Founded in 2020 by Seyed Tabatabaei and Mona Molaasgari, the company builds power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, front-end modules, mixers, switches and wideband distributed amplifiers using GaAs, GaN, InP, SiGe and RFSOI process technologies. Its chips target the linearity, bandwidth and power-efficiency demands of satellite communications, 5G/6G wireless, aerospace and defense radar, and RF instrumentation up to 180 GHz. In April 2026 mmTron closed a $45M Series A led by Maverick Silicon.
Omni Design Technologies builds high-performance, ultra-low-power semiconductor IP - the data converters and mixed-signal blocks that move information between the analog and digital worlds. Its Swift family of ADCs, DACs and analog front-ends sits inside SoCs for AI infrastructure, 5G/6G, Wi-Fi 7, automotive lidar/radar, satellite links, and quantum control, fabricated on processes from 28nm down to advanced FinFET nodes.
