SemiWiki has been working with Comcores for two years. They are very active in the semiconductor ecosystem and highly regarded.
Comcores specializes in providing digital intellectual property (IP) solutions and design services for communication and networking technologies. They focus on developing and delivering IP cores, which are pre-designed and pre-verified building blocks of digital systems, to help companies accelerate their product development in areas such as wireless communication, networking, and digital signal processing.
Comcores’ offerings often include IP cores for technologies like Ethernet, optical networking, 5G, and other communication standards. These cores are designed to be integrated into system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, helping companies reduce development time and costs while still meeting the requirements of modern communication systems.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your company:
My name is Thomas Nørgaard, and I am a serial entrepreneur, with a keen interest in advanced technology. I founded Comcores in 2014, after my first venture Radiocomp. At Comcores, we are driven by creating technologies to enable the future. Our focus is to develop digital IP components & solutions that help reduce the barrier to developing new solutions by easy access to complex technology, lowering the total cost of integrating such functionality into new projects and providing the convenience of using a quality proven, interoperability tested and silicon agnostic solution.
What was the most exciting high point of 2023 for your company?
2023 was a very active and exciting year for us at Comcores. We worked on new complex projects within Time Sensitive Networking solutions and launched the new JESD204D IP. We are proud to be leading these areas and look forward to working with our customers in integrating these complex technologies.
What was the biggest challenge your company faced in 2023?
The continuous development of the TSN standards has been a difficult area to prioritize from a product development perspective for us. There are many standards and many profiles to account for and we want to make sure that our Ethernet switching solutions are meeting the latest profiles and features within this domain. Likewise, the software orchestration of these systems has been an area of intensive research.
How is your company’s work addressing this biggest challenge?
Comcores has launched multiple streams of development to meet the many profiles of TSN under development and has invested in expanding our teams with engineers having expertise in this field. To orchestrate these systems Comcores also has developed its first version of a Centralized Network Controller to handle the QoS policies in the TSN networks.
What are your expectations for 2024 and your plans for the trends?
2024 will hold a lot of exciting product launches that will contribute to anchoring our status as a leader of IP solutions in our respective areas. Ethernet Solutions is a particular area of interest where we will launch many new solutions with an enhanced content of software. Likewise, we will continue to launch support for new standards and features within JESD, Ethernet, MIPI and eCPRI. We have a lot to look forward to in 2024, and we see it being a fantastic year. We are perfectly poised to support our customers in developing their new solutions and help mature them.
