GCT Semiconductor Holding Inc. and Kyocera announced a collaboration to develop a 5G reference platform for customer premise equipment (CPE) and fixed wireless access (FWA) devices. The 5G reference platform incorporates GCT's 5G chipset and Kyocera's 5G mmWave antenna module. The new platform will play a key role in the development of Kyocera's own products as well as GCT's rapid development of 5G mmWave CPE devices for GCT's 5G customers.

Kyocera will provide financial support for this platform development, reflecting GCT?s strong position as a supplier of 4G and 5G solutions. The reference platform will include 4G (Category 15) and 5G (Release 16) functionalities; sub-6GHz and mmWave RF; as well as various interfaces for connectivity for PCIE, USB, Ethernet and SLIC. The reference platform is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2025.
