Relationships are described accurately here. Working with a vendor's silicon is not the same as being their partner, and a company that blurs the two is telling you something about how it describes everything else.
Categories of relationship, described by what the relationship actually is.
| Category | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Semiconductor vendors | FPGA, microcontroller and secure element families used across programmes, with the toolchain and support relationships that implies |
| Connectivity modules | Cellular, LPWAN and non-terrestrial module integration, including NTN-capable modules in connected-asset designs |
| Foundry ecosystem | Access through the design flow appropriate to each programme. Specific foundry and node experience is discussed under NDA |
| Cloud platforms | AWS and Azure, with the Multi-TECH framework built for multi-cloud deployment |
| Industry directories | The IP catalogue is published on Design & Reuse under both silicon IP and verification IP listings |
| Manufacturing partners | Prototype and volume manufacture managed with the customer's chosen partner or a recommended one |
A wall of vendor logos implies formal partnership status that usually does not exist. Faststream does not present one.
What is stated instead is the nature of each relationship: which silicon families the team works across, which modules are integrated in which designs, which cloud platforms are supported. Where a formal partnership exists, it is named as such. Where it does not, the working relationship is described as what it is.
The same standard applies to foundry relationships. Public material describes capability; specific foundry and node experience is discussed under a non-disclosure agreement.
Where a formal partnership exists it is named as such. Elsewhere the site describes the working relationship — which silicon families the team works across and which modules are integrated in which designs — rather than implying a status that does not exist.
AWS and Azure primarily, with the Multi-TECH device framework built for multi-cloud deployment so the cloud decision is not welded into device firmware. On-premise and hybrid deployments are supported where residency or regulation requires.
Tell us the specification, the constraint and the deadline. Programmes that cross silicon, radio, embedded and AI are where Faststream is strongest.
