Akoustis Technologies, an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) of patented bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications, announced that it has started sampling two new Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 filter solutions, covering the stringent rejection requirements of U-NII 1-4 bands and U-NII 5-8 bands. The filters are expected to ramp into production in the second half of calendar 2023.
The newly developed filter solutions are high-performance, ultra-wideband XBAW® RF filters and are being produced in Akoustis’ New York manufacturing facility. The primary advantages over the Company’s prior generation U-NII 1-4 and U-NII 5-8 filter solutions, the A10456 and A10466 provide significantly smaller form factor, improved power handling, and enhanced rejection performance. They will be offered as standard catalog products alongside the family of XBAW® filters targeting Wi-Fi 6E and emerging Wi-Fi 7 tri-band routers, integrated cable modems, tri-band access points, and LTE/LAA small cells.
Dave Aichele, EVP Business Development of Akoustis, stated, “With the A10456 and A10466 BAW filters, Akoustis is once again at the forefront of BAW filtering advancements.” Mr. Aichele continued, “These filters exemplify our unwavering commitment to push the boundaries of technology, enabling seamless coexistence, enhanced connectivity, and unparalleled performance in Wi-Fi 6E & 7 applications.”
