We’ll be exhibiting at the 2026 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Boston, June 9–11. Stop by our booth, 22096, to learn about our growing portfolio of mmWave and broadband MMICs.
Our mmWave power amplifiers uniquely optimize output power, linearity, and efficiency to enable high data rates over longer links — well-suited for Satcom downlnks and uplinks, mmWave wireless, military communications, and broadband instrumentation.
mmTron has secured $45 million in Series A financing. Maverick Silicon led the round with participation from Tipping Point, J&M, and other investors.
This funding milestone endorses mmTron’s demonstrated capabilities and its product/market mission to redefine high-performance RF connectivity.
“We are building scalable RF technology for next-generation satellite communications, defense radar, and data centers, where linearity, bandwidth, and power efficiency define system performance. This funding will accelerate development and production of our high linearity mmWave products and platforms for system-level solutions.” — Seyed A. Tabatabaei, mmTron’s co-founder and CEO
Data Bottlenecks
Low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations require high linearity and wide bandwidth RF links to support high speed data transmission. mmTron’s highly linear and power efficient platforms enable the data flow among satellites and from satellite to Earth.
Data centers and radar systems, whether defense or commerical, have the same need for high-linearity mmWave signal processing.
mmTron is well positioned to address these high growth markets by contributing to the foundational architecture for these systems.
mmTron welcomes Dan Teuthorn to our executive team. As VP of Engineering, Dan will lead product development, product and applications engineering, and the expansion of mmTron’s technical infrastructure.
Before joining mmTron, Dan was general manager and acting engineering manager at X-Microwave. He helped double the company’s revenue run-rate, improve profitability, and enhance operational sustainability. Dan says his achievements were completing AS9100 certification, implementing ERP and cost accounting systems, and expanding the engineering team to enable revenue growth.
Dan began his career as a microwave engineer at Endwave, where he served as a lead engineer and was pivotal in scaling the company from a startup to a successful IPO. He later joined Endwave’s executive team, where he led technology initiatives for over a decade, including launching and managing a fabless semiconductor business within the company.
Dan also served as the VP of operations at Gener8, where he drove revenue growth and operational maturity, leading to the acquisition by private equity.
As VP of Engineering at Teledyne Microwave, he led technology development and contributed to the growth of the aerospace and defense sectors.
Dan holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Davis; a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering from Santa Clara University; and dual MBA degrees from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and Columbia Business School.

mmTron has secured a design win and accompanying production order for mmWave power amplifier MMICs, to be used for mmWave 5G fixed wireless access (FWA). mmTron’s customer will supply the FWA product to a leading U.S. mobile network operator, who will deploy them to extend its 5G network for broadband internet access.
“mmTron was chosen for this design because our MMICs achieve the best combined output power, linearity, and efficiency — the three key requirements for FWA,” said Seyed Tabatabaei, founder and CEO of mmTron. “Power sets the wireless range, linearity determines the maximum data rate, and efficiency drives the thermal design of the radio. Operators want the longest reach, the highest data rate, and the smallest size, so the equipment will easily fit on poles and buildings.”
FWA has become the most successful 5G application to use the mmWave bands from 24 to 44 GHz. The bandwidth at mmWave delivers the data rates expected by consumers, and FWA networks are much faster and less expensive to deploy than fiber. Operators adopting FWA can offer consumers competitive choices beyond traditional cable TV, generating a new source of revenue. In the U.S., the top three mobile operators — AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon — are offering FWA services, with the combined growth of FWA connections outpacing new cable internet subscriptions.
mmTron offers a portfolio of some 10 power amplifier MMICs covering the 5G, FWA, and satellite communications (Satcom) bands from 22 to 44 GHz. The output power of the portfolio ranges from ½ to 50 watts, all with high linearity to maximize data rates. Datasheets for all mmTron’s products are available on our website at mmTron.com/products.
mmTron will be exhibiting at the 2024 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), June 18–20 in Washington, D.C. In booth #1661, our staff will be discussing the expanding product line of MMICs that are extending system capabilities in fixed wireless access (FWA), satellite communications, aerospace and defense, and instrumentation.
Timed for IMS, we will be announcing a full IF to antenna solution for 25 to 29 GHz FWA, offering high EIRP for 400 MHz, 1024-QAM systems.
mmTron’s mmWave ICs are designed to simultaneously provide high power and linearity while maintaining excellent efficiency. Linear power is the key parameter for achieving high data rate mmWave communication. The greater the power and linearity, the longer the range and higher data rate for transmission.
Discussing mmTron’s unique approach to optimizing power, linearity, and efficiency, Michael Roberg, Engineering Fellow, will be presenting an invited keynote, GaAs & GaN MMIC Power Amplifier and Front-End Module Design for K-Ka Band Commercial Communication Systems on Wednesday, June 19 (session We1C-1).
If you’re attending IMS, stop by our booth (#1661) to learn about our power amplifier, front-end module, transceiver, and distributed amplifier MMICs. To schedule a meeting with our co-founders, Seyed Tabatabaei and Mona Molaasgari, or Michael Roberg, email contact@mmtron.com.
