Akoustis Receives Three New Wi-Fi 6E Design Wins

• Two Design Wins from Leading European Carrier-Class Wi-Fi OEM
• One Design Win from Global Network Communication Solutions Provider for Carrier-Class Wi-Fi Connectivity
• All Three Design Wins Use 4×4 MU-MIMO Architectures with One Expected to Enter Production in Calendar 2022 and Two in Calendar 2023  

Charlotte, N.C., Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKTS) (“Akoustis” or the “Company”), an built-in system producer (IDM) of patented bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for cell and different wi-fi purposes, introduced that it has obtained three new Wi-Fi 6E design wins for carrier-class purposes.

Two design wins are for a number one European carrier-class Wi-Fi OEM that shall be utilizing the Akoustis 5.5 GHz and 6.5 GHz customary XBAW^® coexistence filter options, in addition to the 5.6 GHz and 6.6 GHz customary XBAW^® coexistence filter options that permits for higher utilization of the U-NII 4 band. The first Wi-Fi 6E router is predicted to ramp manufacturing by the tip of calendar 2022 and the second router is predicted to start ramping by the tip of the March 2023 quarter. The third design win is for a worldwide community communication options supplier that shall be utilizing the Akoustis 5.6 GHz and 6.6 GHz customary XBAW^® coexistence options to promote a Wi-Fi 6E extender to its service associate, with a manufacturing ramp anticipated by August of calendar 2023.

Dave Aichele, EVP of Business Development at Akoustis, acknowledged, “We are expanding the number of new customers in high-frequency, advanced Wi-Fi systems with consumer, enterprise and now carrier-class design wins.” Mr. Aichele continued, “The interest in our portfolio of next generation Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 devices that offer superior performance in chip scale packages continues to grow and we expect numerous additional design wins in the coming months.”

Earlier in October, Akoustis introduced new subsequent era Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 filter options designed to fulfill the stringent rejection necessities enabling coexistence with the U-NII 1-3 and U-NII 5-8 frequency bands. They supply what Akoustis believes is one of the best out-of-band rejection functionality accessible immediately, and at a considerably lowered measurement given Akoustis’ new chip-scale packages manufactured in its Upstate New York semiconductor chip fabrication facility.

Akoustis is at present ramping business manufacturing and is investing to attain annual manufacturing capability of roughly 500 million items. Akoustis is actively delivering quantity manufacturing of its Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E tandem filter options, transport a number of 5G small cell XBAW^® filter options and delivering preliminary designs of its new 5G cell filter options to a number of clients. To date, Akoustis has obtained greater than 20 buyer design wins for its patented XBAW^® filter options.
