QORVO 802.11ax Portfolio: Industry's Longer, Faster, Lower-Cost Wi-Fi Solutions
Qorvo announced the expansion of its 802.11ax product portfolio for Wi-Fi gateways, set-top boxes, routers, and enterprise-class access points. The high-efficiency portfolio of integrated modules and advanced filters can improve Wi-Fi coverage, help achieve smaller terminal products, and reduce costs for consumers, service providers, and manufacturers.
“Qorvo’s advanced solutions are designed to help customers take advantage of 802.11ax to maximize Wi-Fi capacity and data rates while reducing costs,” said Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo’s Wireless Connectivity business unit. “For manufacturers of high-performance Wi-Fi equipment, our high-efficiency portfolio reduces the need for thermal management, enabling customers to design smaller, more attractive products without built-in fans.”
Qorvo's bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters allow all Wi-Fi channels to output full power, helping consumers receive reliable Wi-Fi service anywhere in the home. This helps cut support costs and improve consumer satisfaction. "Approximately 40% of all service calls to operators are related to poor home Wi-Fi performance. The associated service costs operators an average of $15 to $35, and repeater/extender hardware may also be required. By improving coverage, operators can reduce the cost of these expensive truck rolls and service calls," said Cees Links.
"Every operator is trying to eliminate Wi-Fi dead spots in the home, thereby eliminating the associated customer care and help desk costs," said Peter White, CEO of Rethink Technology Research. "Any technology that can help solve this problem will surely gain traction in the market, and Qorvo's BAW filters are one such technology."
802.11ax will significantly increase network capacity, supporting up to eight simultaneous data streams, each at up to 1.2 Gbps, enabling more devices to connect at higher speeds. Qorvo's broad 802.11ax portfolio includes 2.4GHz and 5GHz front-end modules (FEMs) and BAW filters. The energy-efficient FEMs in the portfolio reduce the thermal issues associated with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in Wi-Fi-enabled devices, allowing manufacturers
to reduce product size and cost. Qorvo BAW bandedge and coexistence filters improve Wi-Fi
service quality and prevent interference from adjacent LTE frequencies.
