UBILITE hires Peter L. Gammel as its new CEO. Peter most recently held the position 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 also served as CTO and vice president of engineering at SiGe Semiconductor before 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 also a distinguished member of the technical staff at Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs.
Peter received a Bachelor of Science in physics and mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD in physics from Cornell University. With over 40 years of experience in semiconductor and wireless connectivity, Peter will be instrumental in driving the commercialization of UBILITE’s low-power wireless technology.
“I am excited to join the UBILITE team. With its patented ground-breaking innovative ultra-low power 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 an order of magnitude improvements in power consumption compared to competing for Wi-Fi solutions and better power consumption than most Bluetooth solutions at up to 10-20x the data rate,” said Peter.
“We are now sampling our solution to key partners and customers,” said Ismail Lakkis, Founder, CTO, and executive chairman of UBILITE. “Peter’s wide and deep expertise in the semiconductor industry will accelerate our company’s growth and position us as the global leader in ultra-low power Wi-Fi.”
