Alphawave IP Group (OTCMKTS:AWEVF) is a global semiconductor intellectual property (IP) provider specializing in high-speed connectivity solutions for the data center, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and telecommunications markets. The company develops and licenses digital and mixed-signal IP cores, including serial transceivers (SerDes), memory interfaces and high-performance physical layer solutions, enabling chipmakers to integrate advanced connectivity features into custom and standard semiconductor designs.
The company’s product portfolio encompasses multi-protocol SerDes IP supporting data rates from 3.2 Gbps to over 112 Gbps per lane, as well as DSP-enhanced physical layer IP that addresses signal integrity challenges across various process nodes. Alphawave’s offerings also include hardened PHYs for established and emerging memory standards, enabling seamless integration of DRAM and next-generation memory technologies into system-on-chip (SoC) designs. By licensing its IP to leading foundries and fabless semiconductor companies, Alphawave helps accelerate time-to-market and reduce development risk for high-performance chips.
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, the company has rapidly expanded its global footprint with engineering and business offices in North America, Asia and Europe. Alphawave’s IP has been qualified on multiple process technologies from major foundry partners, supporting mass production across leading-edge and mature process nodes. The firm completed its initial public offering in 2021 on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market.
Leadership at Alphawave is anchored by founder and Chief Executive Officer Charles Muirhead, whose background includes entrepreneurship and engineering roles in the semiconductor and technology sectors. The management team combines expertise in analog and digital design, signal processing and IP commercialization, guiding the company’s strategic partnerships and continued R&D investment in next-generation connectivity solutions.
