Bundled solution packages — mmW-SDR, mmW-OAI, mmW-Coverage, the NextGen Wireless Education Kit and the mmWave Developer Kit — combine hardware with integration into Open Air Interface, GNU Radio, NI USRP, Keysight and Rohde & Schwarz test ecosystems.

The company operates a project-driven, quote-based B2B sales model with over 60 resellers globally and serves three distinct customer segments: academic and research institutions (e.g., University of Technology Sydney, University of Bologna, University of Hawaii, Lunghwa University of Science and Technology), telecom chipset and equipment vendors (GCT Semiconductor, Metanoia, National Instruments), and defense/satellite integrators (Comtech Telecommunications Corp.). TMYTEK has raised a total of approximately $43M+ across disclosed rounds, with a transformational $40M round in December 2024 led by Amazing Microelectronic and EZconn Corporation, following earlier backing from Headline Asia ($3M, 2019) and SparkLabs Taiwan (2020).

Core offering

TMY Technology (TMYTEK) designs and manufactures mmWave (millimeter-wave) hardware solutions for 5G/B5G, 6G FR3, and satellite communications R&D and deployment, including analog beamformers (BBox One 5G, BBox Lite 5G, BBoard 5G), broadband frequency converters (UD Box 5G, UD Box 0630, UDBoard), Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces and reflectors (XRifle Dynamic RIS, XRifle Reflector), and integrated testbed platforms (mmW-SDR, mmW-OAI, mmW-Coverage). The hardware is unified by the proprietary TMXLAB Kit (TLK) GUI/API control software and targets telecom operators, defense organizations, research institutions, and universities undertaking phased array and beamforming research.

Product overview

TMYTEK delivers a modular, hardware-software integrated mmWave (millimeter-wave) solution portfolio for 5G/B5G and satellite communications R&D and deployment. The core platform consists of BBox One 5G and BBox Lite 5G beamformers (16-channel and 4-channel phased array analog beamformers at 26/28/39 GHz) and BBoard (educational 4-channel beamformer), which work with UD Box 5G (24–44 GHz, for 5G FR2) and UD Box 0630 (6–30 GHz, for 6G FR3 and Ku-band SATCOM) frequency converters to bridge sub-6 GHz instruments into mmWave bands. These hardware components are controlled via TMXLAB Kit (TLK), an in-house GUI and multi-language API (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, C++, C#) platform. The product lineup is complemented by XRifle Reflector (passive fixed-beam reflectarray at 28 GHz for coverage extension) and XRifle Dynamic RIS (reconfigurable intelligent surface available in 3.5 GHz, 4.7 GHz, and 28 GHz models). Solution packages bundle these components into purpose-built platforms: mmW-SDR (SDR-based testbed with NI USRP integration), mmW-OAI (OpenAirInterface-based 5G FR2 standalone testing), mmW-Coverage (RIS and reflector-based coverage optimization), and the NextGen Wireless Education Kit / mmWave Developer Kit (educational and prototyping kits). All hardware products share the same TMXLAB Kit software ecosystem, enabling researchers to mix and match beamformers, frequency converters, and SDRs for customized 5G FR2, 6G FR3, satellite communications, radar sensing, ISAC/JCAS, and MIMO research configurations.
