Akoustis Technologies, an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) of patented bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications, received an additional purchase order for $13 Million from an existing Tier-1 customer to satisfy the customer’s demand for seven1 Wi-Fi Access Points (AP) production programs.
The collaboration highlights the robust relationship with this Wi-Fi Access Point customer. Including the prior $8M PO announced previously, the purchase orders are valued at greater than $21 Million and the arrangement also allows the customer to purchase additional quantities of XBAW RF filters depending on demand of their Wi-Fi AP product.
“This new purchase order cements the strong relationship Akoustis has with this Tier1 Wi-Fi AP customer, whose architecture is well-served by Akoustis’ advanced filter capabilities and XBAW® products”, stated Colin Hunt, Akoustis VP of Sales and Business Development. Mr. Hunt continued, “We plan on delivering several million units over the next 3-4 quarters to this customer—all of which are produced in our New York fab. This demand will support our customer’s existing Wi-Fi 6E and their new ramping Wi-Fi 7 platforms”.
Pursuant to prior purchase orders and this new purchase order, Akoustis will be delivering a total of ten unique narrowband and wideband XBAW® filters, four of which are previous generation and six of which are next generation designs focused on providing improved performance in a smaller form factor, demonstrating an overall lower cost platform.
