Fundamental patent now granted in Korea adding to the previous grants in US, China and Europe.

This patent provides protection for “A Digital Beamforming Transceiver Arrangement”.

"We are seeking broad protection for our patents on the important markets, using an interleaving strategy. This is an important patent for us, and it further strengthen an already strong portfolio”, says Bengt Lindoff, Chief Systems Architect at BeammWave.


The project, from the call “6G Research and innovation 2024”, is coordinated by BeammWave and is a joint project together with Advenica and Lund University. The total budget of the project is SEK 8.6M whereas the Vinnova grant, is SEK 5.9M and the BeammWave share of the grant has a total of SEK 3M.

The project title is “Distributed digital beamforming for cmWave and mmWave integrated radar and communication”. The project idea is to utilize BeammWave’s Advanced Development Platform – ADP1 in the mmWave Frequency Range, to develop 6G technology for Integrated Sensing And robust Communication (ISAC). The project will start in November 2024 and conclude in August 2027.

"By employing our distributed digital beamforming architecture, the sensing can be done with higher precision compared to current architectures which are based on analog beamforming solutions, says Bengt Lindoff, Chief Systems Architect of BeammWave.

“We continue to build on our successful collaboration with Lund University and Advenica making sure that we cover network efficiency, spectrum sharing and security”, says Markus Törmänen, co-founder and Board Member at BeammWave.

The Swedish company BeammWave has further established their thought leadership in digital beamforming by doing the world's first demonstration of distributed digital beamforming.

The demonstration was first shown for customers late this summer and has since been solidified and integrated into the BeammWave Advanced Development Platform (ADP1). BeammWave claims that this is proof of the BeammWave concept, as well as it shows that there is a viable solution for the technical problems and slow uptake of mmWave in 5G.

We defined this concept back in 2013 and then also defined what design criteria that needed to be met for the concept to be viable for high-volume smartphones. We have since proved first through simulations, then on component level and now we have shown it in Over-The-Air system setup using 5G modulated data”, says Per-Olof Brandt, co-founder and CTO at BeammWave.

This is a game changer not only for 5G, but it will also have an impact on how higher frequency spectrum can be used in future generations like 6G and how it can drive the new use cases that everyone has been waiting for”, says Stefan Svedberg, CEO at BeammWave.

The Swedish summer is finally here, probably it will be as beautiful and unreliable as it usually is. Regardless of weather, we have new money and with this comes loads of new energy and progress from our last, successful trip, in Asia.

The rights issue
The rights issue was in line with our expectations and the market in general. That gives us the opportunity to invest and go after the opportunities that are now appearing at an increasingly rapid pace. In addition, we are pleased to see the trust we received from our largest investors led by Concejo, who increased their ownership substantially and is now the largest owner with 11.2% of the capital.

The past 6 months
Of course, the fact that we got our first customer in December 2023 is our biggest achievement so far. Being able to invoice, book an order and have revenue makes the company "whole". It proves both to us and to others that what we develop has a great value and a significant degree of maturity.

Our already competent Board was further strengthened at our annual general meeting on June 14, when both Svein-Egil Nielsen and Pelle Wijk were elected. Both have a very long experience in both sales and technology in the global wireless semiconductor industry and contribute with a lot of technical know-how and also extensive personal networks.

Patents and standardization
We just got another patent approved which further strengthens our position as the global leader for digital beamforming, we now have a total of 39 patent families, of which 17 patents are approved coming from five different patent families. This is an underappreciated asset that most people have not fully understood. Beamforming is a universal technology whose use in communication will greatly increase for many decades to come and it will not stay analog but become digital in the near future. The patent portfolio that BeammWave has is completely unique and extremely valuable. Similarly, in a short time we have built a position in the global standards body for mobile telephony (3GPP), which is starting to pay off in the form of increased awareness of both our technology and our know-how.

The technology
We have all the proof we need for our concept, now it's all about maturity and the ability to deliver components for the applications, products and prototypes that our customers wish to build. The most tangible evidence that we have reached a turning point, is our development platform. During the spring the development platform became even better. Both because the basic technology was further developed, but perhaps above all because we supplemented it with a user interface that allows you to control, monitor and upgrade the platform in a simple way. This significantly simplifies our ability to support the platform even if it is located on another continent, locked in a secret lab to which we do not have access.

The market, our positioning and the customers
In May, we made one of our many trips to Asia, where we met all the Japanese mobile operators, more than ten customers and also strategic investors and partners. As usual, we learned a lot and also had many of our fundamental axioms further confirmed. Above all, the two cornerstones of our business were completely obvious;

  • The lack of capacity in mobile networks is for real and not just a future problem but here and now.
  • Current analog beamforming technology does not deliver a working solution and thus not the value that was expected.

The results of our meetings in the form of increased interest have been immediate. We have extensive follow-up work underway, two of our customers also have scheduled visits to our lab before we go on summer vacation.

With warm and sunny greetings,

Stefan
CEO, BeammWave AB


BeammWave has been informed by the Taiwanese Patent Office that they intend to grant a patent.

This patent provides protection for a method and architecture for efficient digital beamforming.

BeammWave now has a total of 39 patent families, of which 17 are granted within five (5) different patent families, protecting the unique concept of digital beamforming.

"Digital beamforming undoubtedly offers much higher performance compared to its analog counterpart. The challenge has been to make it energy and cost-efficient. This patent, which covers a method and architecture for efficient digital beamforming, is part of BeammWave's unique solution to that issue”, says Joakim Axmon, Senior Expert, Systems & Standards at BeammWave.


The Board of Directors of BeammWave AB (publ) ("BeammWave" or the "Company") has today the 28 May 2024, based on the authorization from the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2023, resolved on a directed share issue of 205,076 series B shares to the guarantors of the rights issue of shares and warrants (“units”) resolved by the Board on 25 March 2024, and approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 25 April 2024 ("Rights Issue") who have chosen to receive guarantee compensation in the form of newly issued shares in the Company ("Compensation Issue"). The subscription price in the Compensation Issue is set to SEK 3.10 per share, corresponding to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the subscription period in the Rights Issue.

As previously communicated in connection with the Rights Issue, the guarantors, in accordance with the guarantee agreements entered into, had the opportunity to choose to receive guarantee compensation in the form of cash compensation or newly issued shares in the Company. Concejo Invest AB, John Haurum, Peter Rundlöf and Elvil AB (the "Guarantors") have chosen to receive the guarantee compensation in the form of newly issued shares. According to the guarantee agreements, the compensation the Guarantors are entitled to receive amounts to an amount corresponding to 12 percent of the guaranteed amount in cash compensation or 16 percent of the guaranteed amount in the form of newly issued shares. As a result, the Board has today, based on the authorization from the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2023, resolved on the Compensation Issue, which includes a total of 205,076 series B shares.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in the Compensation Issue is to fulfill the guarantee agreements that were a prerequisite for enabling the capital raise carried out through the Rights Issue and which were deemed beneficial to the Company as the Company retains a larger portion of the issue proceeds if the guarantee compensation is paid in newly issued shares instead of in cash.

In accordance with the guarantee agreements, the subscription price in the Compensation Issue is to correspond to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the subscription period in the Rights Issue (6 – 20 May 2024) but never lower than the subscription price in the Rights Issue. The subscription price in the Compensation Issue has thus been set at SEK 3.10 per share, corresponding to the VWAP during the subscription period. Thus, the board's assessment is that the subscription price is on market-terms.

Through the Compensation Issue, the number of shares in the Company increases by a total of 205,076 series B shares and the share capital increases by a total of SEK 20,268.814. When the Rights Issue and the Compensation Issue have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the number of shares in the Company will amount to a total of 22,254,808 shares and the Company's share capital to SEK 2,199,567.761.

The subscription period in BeammWave AB (publ)'s ("BeammWave" or the "Company") new issue of shares and warrants ("units") with preferential rights for the Company's existing shareholders, initially amounting to approximately SEK 39.5 million ("Rights Issue"), which was resolved by the Board of Directors on 25 March 2024 and approved by the extraordinary general meeting on 25 April 2024, ended on 20 May 2024. The outcome shows that a total of 5,115,396 units, corresponding to approximately 38.9 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for with and without support from unit rights. Therefore, guarantee commitments regarding 3,772,706 units will be utilized, corresponding to approximately 28.7 percent of the Rights Issue. Through the Rights Issue, BeammWave will receive approximately SEK 26.7 million before issuance costs.

In the Rights Issue, 13,161,630 units were offered at a subscription price of SEK 3.0 per unit. 4,413,656 units, corresponding to approximately 33.5 percent of the Rights Issue, were subscribed for with support from unit rights. Additionally, 701,740 units were subscribed for without support from unit rights, corresponding to approximately 5.3 percent of the Rights Issue. In total, the Rights Issue was subscribed for, with and without support from unit rights, to approximately 38.9 percent. Guarantee commitments regarding 3,772,706 units will thus be utilized, corresponding to approximately 28.7 percent of the Rights Issue. Through the Rights Issue BeammWave will receive approximately SEK 26.7 million before issuance costs.

Notifications of allotment of units subscribed for without support from unit rights are expected to be sent to those allotted units via a settlement note on 22 May 2024. Shareholders who have their shares registered with a custodian will receive notification of allocation in accordance with the respective custodians' routines. Allotment of units subscribed for without support from unit rights has been carried out in accordance with the principles outlined in the prospectus published on 2 May 2024.

Number of shares and share capital
Through the Rights Issue, the share capital will increase by SEK 878,461.078, from SEK 1,300,837.870 to SEK 2,179,298.948 through the issuance of 8,888,102 shares, resulting in the total number of shares increasing from 13,161,630 to 22,049,732, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 40.3 percent of the share capital and number of shares.

Trading in BTU
Trading in paid subscribed units (“BTU”) will take place on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market until the Rights Issue is registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Registration of the Rights Issue is expected to occur during week 23, 2024.
