Peraso Inc. (“Peraso”) is a global leader in the development and high-volume deployment of semiconductor solutions for the unlicensed 60 GHz (mmWave) spectrum. With a focus on high-performance, scalable wireless technologies, Peraso serves a diverse range of markets, including fixed wireless access (FWA), aerospace and defense, transportation communications, and professional video delivery.
Why 60 GHz mmWave Technology?
Operating in the 60 GHz spectrum offers numerous advantages that make mmWave an ideal choice for modern wireless applications:
- Unlicensed Spectrum: In many jurisdictions worldwide, the 60 GHz band is unlicensed, allowing Internet service providers to operate without the cost of expensive spectrum licenses.
- Massive Bandwidth: The 60 GHz spectrum provides 14 GHz of available bandwidth—significantly more than the global wireless ecosystem’s typical reliance on frequencies below 6 GHz (e.g., 5G).
- Blazing-Fast Data Rates: Peraso’s mmWave solutions can achieve data rates of up to 3 Gbps, rivaling fiber speeds and far outpacing most competing wireless solutions.
- Symmetrical Data Flow: Unlike other broadband technologies, Peraso’s mmWave solutions offer symmetrical data rates—equally fast downstream and upstream speeds—critical for modern AI-driven applications that demand high bandwidth in both directions.
- Cost-Effective Deployments: mmWave technology bypasses the costly and time-consuming challenges of fiber installation, such as trenching, while also reducing the risk of service disruptions from physical damage, sabotage, or vandalism.
- Beamforming Advantage: Peraso’s beamforming technology focuses radio signals into narrow beams, minimizing interference and congestion. This is particularly beneficial for dense urban deployments, offering superior reliability and performance.
- Security in the Battlefield: mmWave signals are extremely difficult to detect or jam, making them ideal for military applications, with low probability of detection (LPD) and low probability of interference (LPI).
