Akoustis Technologies, Inc. announced that two of its patented XBAW filters are being integrated into a Wi-Fi 7 router platform with a leading US-based carrier, catering to more than 32 million residential customers. These next-generation Wi-Fi 7 coexistence filters are designed into the customer?s 4x4 Multiple-In-Multiple-Out (MIMO) Wi-Fi 7 AP router platform. Akoustis?

5.5 GHz filter facilitates coexistence with U-NII 5 thru 8, while the 6.5 GHz filter addresses coexistence with U-NII 1 thru 3. Both filters come in a compact 1.6 x 1.8 mm package and support architectures offering reduced latency, particularly advantageous for small carrier routers. In addition, they support enhanced Wi-Fi 7 data rates up to approx. 46 Gbps, which is approximately five times more than the maximum data rate of Wi-Fi 6E.

The Company has already secured substantial orders from the customer, supporting a production ramp-up scheduled for the September quarter 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.
