SIAE MICROELETTRONICA is an Italian multinational corporation and technology company that manufactures hardware and software for telecommunications.

Early history

In 1952 Ing. Edoardo Mascetti founded SIAE (Società Italiana Apparecchiature Elettroniche), which later became SIAE MICROELETTRONICA S.p.A.

In the 1980s the first digital radio (RT20), the first digital multiplexer (MN30) and the management of the network system (NMS) were developed.

In the 1990s the Company began to address world markets.

Recent history

In 2007 Graham & Trotman in the book Major Companies of Europe cited SIAE MICROELETTRONICA as one of the major companies in Europe (pp. 432,937,1035)[1]

In 2007 the company and Vodafone Omnitel presented the paper "2xSTM1 frequency reuse system with XPIC" at ECRR 2007 in Paris.[2]

In 2011, SIAE Microelettronica and Polytechnic University of Milan patented a dielectric antenna for mm-wave communications based on a novel design aimed at reducing the overall size, [3]

In June 2012 the company and Cisco announced a new white paper "Unified RAN Transport Solution: Cisco-SIAE MICROELETTRONICA Interoperability" that demonstrates their collaborative approach with a certified solution that combines the expertise of Cisco and SIAE MICROELETTRONICA.[4]

In 2014 the company and Cisco developed the Microwave Adaptive Bandwidth (MAB) feature[5]

In 2014 the labs for the management system for terrestrial networks (1350 OMS) and two families of equipment for fiber optic telecommunications—OMSN (Optical Multi-Service Node) and TSS (Transport Service Switch)— were transferred from Alcatel Lucent (now Nokia) to a new dedicated company, SM Optics, a subsidiary of SIAE MICROELETTRONICA.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

In 2014 the company presented the new SM-OS operating system created in partnership with Aricent ISS.

In 2014, an innovative technique aimed at extracting a mathematical model of a manufactured diplexer based on externally-measurable data has been presented [12] in cooperation with the APICS team of INRIA (France) and Thales Alenia Space.

In 2014, SIAE published a paper on a design technique suited for manufacturing mm-wave components with high fabrication yield. [13]

From 2014 to 2016, through its entirely owned company "Twist-off" in Padua (Italy), SIAE MICROELETTRONICA was active in researching applications of Orbital Angular Momentum of light (OAM) communications applied to long-distance links. Field tests of the principles were published in [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] while filing the industrial patent [21] based on the twisted parabola[22]. As a means to increase capacity and frequency reuse orbital angular momentum multiplexing was also compared to traditional MIMO spatial multiplexing techniques in terms of antenna size/spacing/occupation and achievable performance, which resulted in a critical assessment showing that both have equal performances [23]. Near field properties of OAM beams at microwaves have also been investigated [24] [25] [26], resulting in valid theoretical and practical demonstrations to lay the ground for short-range secure communications with application to contactless payments and transactions, filed under [27].

In June 2015, SIAE Microelettronica presented an invited talk at the "Microwave backhaul: trends and enabling technologies" workshop within the 2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium about the implications of increased capacity demands in 5G networks for backhauling manufacturers [28].

In 2016, an internal team of researchers coauthored the "Receiver", "Modem" and "Antenna" chapters in a comprehensive book describing electronic design of transceiver frontends for backhauling [29].

In 2016 the company presented, at the Mobile World Congress 2016, L3VPN services over microwave radio links using SM-OS, made possible by Software-defined networking (SDN).[30][31].

In May 2016, SIAE Microelettronica was an invited speaker at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium for a workshop talk on the subject of increased capacity in modern microwave mm-wave transceivers. [32]

Within the same 2016 conference, the company presented a technical paper describing a novel technique for the characterization of Orthomode transducers from low-cost external measurements [33]. The estimation of the isolation properties of these devices is both critical for assessment of expected system performance and traditionally extremely cumbersome or expensive from a practical point of view. The technique is based on an algebraic manipulation of the equations governing the easily-accessible scattered waves at the 4-ports (2 single-mode ports and 1 dual-mode port) of a device under test.

In September 2016, the company co-organized the "Power Amplifier Design Challenges and Solutions for Millimetre-Wave Radios" workshop within the European Microwave Conference and presented a technological talk about current and foreseen requirements for mm-wave power amplifiers. [34]
