SAN DIEGO: UBILITE introduced that Peter L. Gammel has joined the corporate as its new CEO. Mr. Gammel most recently held the place of vice president and CTO of the Mobile and Wireless Infrastructure Business Unit at GlobalFoundries.
Previously, he was the CTO of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and additionally served as CTO and vice president of engineering at SiGe Semiconductor earlier than its acquisition by Skyworks. Prior to SiGe Semiconductor, he was vice president of engineering at Renaissance Wireless and CTO at Advance Nanotech and for Agere Systems’ Analog Products Business. He was additionally a distinguished member of technical staff at Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs.
Gammel received a Bachelor of Science in physics and arithmetic from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in physics from Cornell University. With over forty years of expertise within the semiconductor and wi-fi connectivity, Gammel will be instrumental in driving commercialization of UBILITE’s low-power wi-fi technology.
“I am excited to join the UBILITE team. With its patented ground-breaking innovative ultra-low energy Wi-Fi solution, UBILITE is positioned to revolutionize connectivity for IoT devices. UBILITE’s UBI206 SoC and modules will unleash the true potential of IoT with order of magnitude enhancements in energy consumption in comparison with competing Wi-Fi options and higher energy consumption than most Bluetooth options at as much as 10-20x the data rate,” said Gammel.
“We are now sampling our solution to key companions and customers,” said Ismail Lakkis, Founder, CTO, and executive chairman of UBILITE. “Peter’s wide and deep expertise within the semiconductor industry will speed up our company’s growth and place us because the worldwide chief in ultra-low energy Wi-Fi.”
Founded in 2014, UBILITE is a fabless semiconductor firm developing the lowest-power Wi-Fi SoC for IoT applications. UBILITE’s UBI206 Wi-Fi SoC has energy consumption that’s decrease than Bluetooth at as much as 10-20x the data rate. Its ultra-lower consumption in active and sleep states enables very lengthy battery life or the ability to make use of energy harvesting to allow steady operation for a lot of years.
