AAC Technologies has announced the completion of its acquisition of WiSpry, Inc. WiSpry is a leader in high-performance tunable radio frequency semiconductor products for the wireless industry and a pioneer of RF micro-electro-mechanical systems (“MEMS”) solutions, with products relating to antenna tuning and filters for mobile devices. Immediately after the completion of the transaction, WiSpry becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of AAC Technologies and will continue the development of their market-leading performance RF MEMS enabled products.
AAC Technologies is an established designer, developer and manufacturer of a broad range of miniaturized acoustic and non-acoustic components. Acoustic components include speakers, receivers and MEMS microphones. Non-acoustic components include haptics vibrators, RF and antennas, and optical lenses. AAC Technologies continues to build on its core competencies of simulation, design and manufacturing with this acquisition. AAC Technologies is growing strongly in the field of RF and antennas, and this acquisition enables the development of new solutions to conquer new challenges and complements the strategy to offer miniaturized component total solutions.
“With the continued growth of LTE-A and a demand for ever better performing mobile devices, WiSpry’s tunable RF products will be critical to meet mobile operators’ performance requirements,” said Jack Duan, COO at AAC Technologies. “The deep knowledge and market experience of the WiSpry team is world class and unique. When combined with AAC Technologies’ extensive R&D and OEM relationships, we believe we will be able to provide market-leading integrated tunable antenna solutions to meet and exceed the toughest performance challenges.”
“We are very pleased and excited to become part of the AAC Technologies global team,” said Jeff Hilbert, President, CEO and Founder of WiSpry. “The combination of skills and experience, backed by AAC Technologies’ market presence and resources, will enable the combined team to rapidly innovate the new products and solutions customers will require, as we move rapidly towards an ever-increasingly wirelessly connected world.”
