Founded in 1947, it employs around 100 people and specializes in microwave, aerospace and telecommunications equipment. Major existing customers of Shoshin include NEC, Fujitsu and NTT DoCoMo.

Frequencies have been allocated in Japan and we can see a big interest from large companies and mobile network operators, many of which are active also on the global marketplace, indicating a promising sales growth potential”, says Anders Storm, Group CEO of Sivers Semiconductors.

Sivers Wireless and Shoshin have been working together for some time to explore and evaluate the basis for a long term co-operation, which has lead to an agreement to work together on the Japanese market.

With a long history and a well-developed customer base on the Japanese telecom market, we see great business opportunities together with Sivers Wireless. The market leading products and the engagement and commitment to the Japanese market shown by Sivers is a key success factor for a profitable and growing business for both our companies”, says Masaki Endo, Managing Director of Shoshin Corp.
