Products

Fifty-two things you can actually receive.

A product is an artefact with a datasheet, a version and a commercial model. Design work is something that gets done, and it lives under System Integration — which is why ASIC design is not on this page. Every item below carries its maturity status: shipping, silicon-proven, FPGA-validated or reference design.

Semiconductor IP Wireless & RAN Edge & Gateways Tracking & Identification Software & Frameworks Connected Systems

Six families, one connected product

180–16 nmnode range, application-chosen

FAMILY 01 · 14 CORES

Semiconductor IP

Fourteen cores, each with its maturity stated rather than implied.

Licensable digital, analog, mixed-signal and verification IP, supplied with the collateral and integration support needed to land them in a customer SoC. Also listed publicly on Design & Reuse, so you can compare them against everyone else’s.

Precision Time Protocol, IEEE 1588
18-bit pipeline DSP slice
AXI USB 2.0 device controller
Analog data acquisition controller
SERDES, PVT sensors, clocking
Protocol verification IP

3.9–4.1%system EVM, stated configuration

FAMILY 02 · 7 ITEMS

Wireless & RAN

The block that decides what a radio site costs to run.

O-RAN radio unit IP, the 5G digital front end combining crest factor reduction and digital pre-distortion, private 5G platforms, software-defined radio and satellite. The most characterised part of the catalogue, and the part with published figures attached.

O-RAN radio unit IP
5G digital front end, DPD and CFR
Private 5G network-in-a-box
FPGA satellite modem and SDR
NTN module integration
Small cell to massive MIMO

FAMILY 03 · 6 ITEMS

Edge & Gateways

On a real site, the standard unit almost never fits.

IoT gateways and custom gateway development, development kits, industrial compute, operator interfaces and edge AI inference nodes. Where a range is supplied and integrated rather than designed in-house, the page says so.

Bluetooth and LoRaWAN start kit
Modular industrial PC and HMI

1–5 yrBLE tag life on a coin cell

FAMILY 04 · 10 ITEMS

Tracking & Identification

One connected-asset family across six link layers, not six product lines.

BLE, cellular, non-terrestrial satellite, NFC, ultra-wideband and RFID. The link layer is a design decision driven by range, power budget and the infrastructure already on site — and most real deployments use two of them in one device.

BLE tags, beacons and gateways
Cellular trackers with GNSS
NTN satellite-fallback variants
NFC fuel tank and nozzle readers
UWB sub-metre positioning
UHF and HF RFID

1.0.3LoRaWAN Class A and C simulated

FAMILY 05 · 6 ITEMS

Software & Frameworks

A fleet becomes an asset or a liability at this layer.

Device frameworks, protocol simulation, digital twin, provisioning, staged over-the-air update and analytics. The IoT Simulator lets a platform be exercised against ten thousand devices before ten have been manufactured.

Multi-TECH multi-cloud device platform
IoT Simulator: MQTT, MQTT-SN, LoRaWAN

Analytics and dashboards
Predictive maintenance framework

2complete systems

FAMILY 06 · 2 SYSTEMS

Connected Systems

Complete deployable products, not components.

The other six families supply parts that go into someone else’s product. These are finished products in their own right — sensing, control, interface, connectivity, enclosure and the record they produce, engineered and delivered as one thing.

Cloud-connected mobile fuel dispenser
Connected breathalyser
Temperature-compensated metering
Tamper-evident field records
Hazardous area design

HOW THIS CATALOGUE IS WRITTEN

Every claim on this page has a caveat attached to it.

Maturity differs across forty-three items. Some are shipping products with deployment history, some are silicon-proven blocks awaiting their next integration, some are FPGA-validated, and some are reference designs. Each page says which, for that item.

Where a figure appears, it appears with the configuration it was measured under. Where a range is supplied rather than designed in-house — the industrial PC and HMI products — the page states that plainly rather than letting the surrounding context imply otherwise.

This is slower to write and less impressive to skim. It is also the only version of a catalogue that survives a technical evaluation.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What engineers ask before they call.

Does Faststream license IP cores, or only provide design services?

Both. The semiconductor IP catalogue is licensable, supplied with verification collateral and integration support. Design work — ASIC and SoC design, FPGA design, FPGA-to-ASIC conversion — is a separate engagement under System Integration.

What does maturity status mean on a product page?

Whether an item is a shipping product with deployment history, a silicon-proven block, an FPGA-validated design, a reference design, or a range supplied and integrated rather than designed in-house. Each page states which applies to that item.

Can Faststream customise a standard product?

Yes. Gateways, trackers and edge hardware are routinely built as custom variants around a specific sensor set, enclosure, protocol mix or environmental requirement. IP cores are configured and, where needed, extended.

Where can I compare the IP against other suppliers?

The catalogue is published on Design & Reuse under both the silicon IP and verification IP supplier listings, which is a reasonable place to start a cross-supplier comparison.
