March 10, 2025 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components engineered to accelerate technological innovation and build a better future, is proud to join the STMicroelectronics Partner Program and make its antenna products and services accessible to ST customers.
STMicroelectronics (ST) is a global leader in semiconductor technology designed to serve customers throughout the electronics industry — extending from the automation, power, and energy segments to the smart mobility and autonomous things segments. Its ST Partner Program helps these customers overcome design challenges, capitalize on opportunities, accelerate development cycles, and support a more sustainable world by providing them with a carefully and continually vetted collection of industry partners that offer complementary, quality products that enhance ST's broad product portfolio and simplify the design of end-to-end solutions.
KYOCERA AVX antenna products & services can help ST customers overcome design challenges and shorten development cycles.
KYOCERA AVX has collaborated with the STMicroelectronics engineering team on several antenna validation and implementation projects in recent years and passed the initial certification process required to join the ST Partner Program almost a year ago now. Since then, the two companies have further expanded their collaboration. KYOCERA AVX and STMicroelectronics will be co-exhibiting in the Arrow Electronics Booth (4A-342) at Embedded World this week (March 11–13, 2025) and are also collaborating on new products slated for market release later this year.
"KYOCERA AVX is a leading global supplier of innovative antenna solutions that utilize a variety of materials, accommodate a wide range of standard and custom configurations, and support major frequency bands and broad utility, extending from external indoor and outdoor applications to embedded on- and off-board designs," said Carmen Redondo, Director of Global Marketing – Antennas at KYOCERA AVX. "We also provide customers with comprehensive, cutting-edge design support, and this combination of products, services, and expertise allows us to complement the ST product ecosystem in support of ST customers."
Carmen continued, "As our collaboration has grown and strengthened, we've helped ST customers enhance the connectivity performance of their devices and expedite their time to market by customizing antennas for ST's modules, supporting the implementation of standard antennas in reference designs, and conducting pre-certification testing for validation, and we're excited to see our close collaboration continue to evolve."
"KYOCERA AVX's knowledge of the ST portfolio and extensive product and service expertise can help our customers overcome design challenges and shorten development cycles," said Alessandro Maloberti, Partner Ecosystem Director, STMicroelectronics. "The initial certification and periodic vetting of ST Authorized Partners has helped us build a strong ecosystem of more than 300 trusted and proven suppliers capable of providing our customers with advanced technologies and value-added services that will enhance their designs and accelerate their time to market."
"The ST Partner Program allows us to expand on our many strengths by drawing on the strengths of industry partners with complementary expertise," said Sylvain Raynaud, Product Line Marketing Manager – STMicroelectronics. "Certifying KYOCERA AVX as an ST Authorized Partner made a wide variety of proven products and services — including standard and custom antennas, active antenna systems, and testing, consulting, and simulation services — readily available to ST customers looking to maximize their device connectivity and overcome connectivity challenges. This collaboration also allows us to streamline and enhance our end-to-end design solutions and help customers shorten their design cycles."
