Akoustis Technologies, an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) of patented bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications, has announced that five of its patented XBAW® filters are being designed into a new quad-band enterprise Wi-Fi access point (AP) platform.
The new design will use multiple Akoustis wideband and narrowband Wi-Fi XBAW® coexistence filters in the 5 and 6 GHz bands. These filters are being utilized in a 4X4 multi-user, multiple-in-multiple-out (MU-MIMO) quad-band Wi-Fi 7 AP router. Akoustis has received prototype orders from the customer to enable the production ramp in the second half of the calendar year 2024.
Jeff Shealy, Founder and CEO of Akoustis, stated, “Akoustis continues to be a key player in the enterprise market attributed to our cutting-edge portfolio of high-performance micro-acoustic XBAW® filters.” Mr. Shealy continued, “We expect to ramp five Akoustis part numbers into this new Tier-1 enterprise customer’s quad-band architecture in the second half of calendar year 2024.”
Akoustis maintains its momentum with robust demand and an expanding sales pipeline for its XBAW® filter products, in addition to its new XBAW®/SAW resonator and oscillator products, and semiconductor back-end services. The Company continues to secure new design wins in its target markets including Wi-Fi, 5G infrastructure, automotive and defense, many of which are slated to ramp into production in the coming months.
