Pharrowtech develops semiconductor chips, antennas, and software that enable multi-gigabit-per-second, low-latency wireless links using the 60 GHz mmWave band. Its technology targets next-generation Wi‑Fi (Wi‑Fi 8 / IEEE 802.11bq) and applications including broadband fixed wireless access, 5G complementarity, wireless HDMI, AR/VR headsets, smart cities, autonomous mobility, and industrial automation. The company emphasizes leveraging the 14 GHz of unlicensed spectrum and many non-overlapping channels in the 60 GHz band to deliver high throughput and reliability. Pharrowtech plans to use recent financing to accelerate development and commercialization of its Wi‑Fi 8-capable solutions and to secure global leadership in next-generation Wi‑Fi technology. The company is based in Leuven, Belgium. Its current financing includes both non-dilutive grant funding and equity investment from the EIC Accelerator programme. Pharrowtech develops millimeter-wave (60 GHz) RF hardware and software, including the PTR1060 CMOS RFIC (IEEE 802.11ay‑compliant, 57–71 GHz) and PTM1060 phased-array radio-frequency modules. Its products target 5G unlicensed fixed wireless access (FWA), backhaul for 5G/Wi‑Fi infrastructure, consumer electronics (VR headsets, TVs) and smart‑city IoT. The PTR1060 and PTM1060 are available to select customers and are being designed into a tier‑one US equipment vendor; demonstrations and evaluation kits are also being provided. Pharrowtech built on imec R&D prototypes and plans to ramp production in Q3 2022. The company intends to use new capital to accelerate product deployment, expand US operations, improve customer support, and grow engineering and business teams.
