Akoustis Technologies has received a $2 Million order for its advanced Wi-Fi 7 filters from a tier 1 carrier company. These filters will be integrated into a tri-band 4x4 MIMO router, covering the 5.5 and 6.5 GHz Wi-Fi bands. This production is set to begin in July 2024 and continue through March 2025.
Wi-Fi technology advancements aim to enhance data transfer rates and transmission density. Akoustis' XBAW® filters support 5 and 6 GHz band along with Multi-Link Operation (MLO), offering higher throughput and lower latency for up to 10 Gbps. The customer's router will serve residential and small to medium-sized business markets. The company initially supported the ramp-up in early 2024 and now continues with these new volume orders. The company anticipates announcing more production orders in the near future, reflecting growing demand for high-speed connectivity solutions.
Dave Aichele, Executive Vice President of Business Development of Akoustis, stated, “Akoustis is currently securing strong backlog in Wi-Fi 6E and new Wi-Fi 7 programs, which we expect to achieve record revenue in the September quarter.” Mr. Aichele continued, “As the demand for high-speed connectivity continues to rise, we are proud to provide compact, high-performance solutions that allow our customers to meet and exceed these expectations.”
Akoustis Technologies specializes in designing and manufacturing advanced bulk acoustic wave (BAW) RF filters. The company uses its proprietary XBAW® manufacturing process to produce filters that improve bandwidth, operating frequencies, and output power compared to legacy technologies. The company is headquartered near Charlotte, North Carolina.
