Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AKTS), a manufacturer specializing in patented high-band RF filters, has announced orders for its next-generation Wi-Fi 7 filters from a top-tier customer. These filters, designed for a 4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi 7 router platform, are expected to support the customer's production increase scheduled for the September quarter of the 2024 calendar year.
The company's 5.5 GHz and 6.5 GHz XBAW® filters will be integrated into the routers of a leading US-based carrier with over 32 million residential customers. These filters are tailored to enable coexistence with U-NII 5 through 8 and U-NII 1 through 3, respectively. They are packaged in a compact 1.6 x 1.8 mm size and support architectures that offer reduced latency, which is beneficial for small carrier routers. Additionally, the filters support enhanced Wi-Fi 7 data rates up to approximately 46 Gbps, a significant increase over the maximum data rate of Wi-Fi 6E.
Jeff Shealy, CEO of Akoustis noted that the integration of their Wi-Fi 7 coexistence filters into the carrier's router platform demonstrates their technological advancements and their ability to deliver superior performance for small carrier routers.
The company's proprietary XBAW® manufacturing process is utilized to produce bulk acoustic wave RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications. Akoustis operates a 125,000 sq. ft. commercial wafer-manufacturing facility in Canandaigua, NY, and is headquartered near Charlotte, North Carolina.
