I have followed Sivers / $SIVE for years, and one thing has become clear to me: the market often gets stuck in the most obvious version of the story.
For a long time, I have known that Photonics could be the part that completely changes how this company is valued. The AI/datacenter angle is real, the upside is explosive, and I understand why most of the attention is there.
But the more I study the details, the more convinced I become that the market is overlooking something important in Wireless.
Not because it is hidden, but because people stopped looking.
Wireless became the part of Sivers many investors mentally wrote off after years of delayed 5G rollouts, slower FWA adoption and moving timelines. I understand that. But in my experience, the most interesting setups often appear where investors are tired, just as the facts start to improve.
For Sivers, that part is Wireless.
The company has communicated that three 5G/FWA design wins could represent around 1 million 5G products during the first three years of production from 2026. That number keeps standing out to me. It is not guaranteed revenue, and I am not treating it like it is. Customers still need to ramp and products need to reach volume. But it tells us something important: Sivers is positioned in platforms where volume can matter.
Then you add the Tier-1 telecom customer, and the story becomes even more interesting. Sivers recently won a SEK 60m chip development program with a leading Tier-1 telecom infrastructure supplier. Many will only see the SEK 60m. I think that is the wrong way to read it.
The real signal is trust.
Sivers is already involved in the customer’s first-generation product, and the new program targets the next-generation beamforming transceiver. That means they are not just being tested once. They are being designed into a roadmap.
Sivers has not named the Tier-1 customer, so I will not present it as fact. But when I look at the clues, much points toward Nokia. And if that is the case, the importance of this relationship is far bigger than the initial development money.
For a small semiconductor company, that matters. Tier-1 customers do not build around you across product generations unless you have proven that your technology works, your roadmap fits, you can support them technically, and you have a realistic path toward execution.
In semiconductors, the first development program is often only the opening chapter. The real value comes if you remain designed into the platform when it moves toward volume.
That is why I think Wireless is underestimated.
From 2026 and onward, the question becomes different: what happens if these design wins actually start converting?
Even modest content per CPE unit can become meaningful when the potential volume is around 1 million products. And if Sivers has more integrated content, the upside becomes much larger.
This is why Wireless could be the bridge people are not valuing properly. It does not need to be the main event. It can still bring revenue, credibility, customer validation and growth while Photonics prepares for what could become a much bigger story.
So when people ask where the money could come from before Photonics really scales, part of the answer may already be visible.
The market is watching the explosion.
I am also watching the fuse.
