Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions
that connect the world, is enabling the expansion of distributed
Wi-Fi solutions in the home through a portfolio of 802.11ax
products that improves Wi-Fi coverage, enables smaller devices and
reduces costs. These products include Wi-Fi front end modules,
Wi-Fi BAW 2.4GHz bandedge and LTE coexistence filters, and Wi-Fi
integrated front end modules (iFEMs).
“In the last year, we have seen a flood of new distributed Wi-Fi
mesh network products released in the marketplace,” said Christian
Kim, senior analyst, IoT and connectivity, for IHS Markit, a global
business information provider. “With the addition of smart home
devices and the increasing home use of streaming services, such as
Netflix or Spotify, we expect to see continued introduction of new
distributed Wi-Fi mesh systems in 2018.” 1
Distributed Wi-Fi networks, also known as Wi-Fi mesh, use
multiple routers to spread Wi-Fi signals throughout the home.
Qorvo maximizes the output power of in-home Wi-Fi signals
while simultaneously optimizing their efficiency and lowering power
consumption. The company's Wi-Fi modules enable consumers to
fully utilize the frequency band, whereas competitive products with
sub-par filters have trouble accessing the full spectrum.
As a result, Qorvo technology delivers expanded coverage and
reduced energy costs for consumers, while service providers and
manufacturers benefit from improved customer satisfaction and fewer
service calls and truck rolls.
Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo’s Wireless Connectivity
business unit, said, “The notion of ‘power’ can be confusing, but
Qorvo’s innovation labs have figured out how to maximize the output
power of Wi-Fi signals throughout the home, while optimizing
efficiency to lower power consumption. With Qorvo’s advanced RF
technology, equipment makers can create distributed Wi-Fi networks
that use unobtrusive end devices throughout the home, eliminate
dead spots, and scale to more applications and users. Qorvo
eliminates Wi-Fi problems before they emerge.”
Qorvo’s distributed Wi-Fi mesh solutions are in production, and
have secured multiple design wins, including several top equipment
providers that connect millions of consumers around the world.
Qorvo products that solve the IoT’s toughest RF challenges will
be showcased during CES 2018 (#CES2018) in Las Vegas, Nevada,
January 9-12, in booth #42531, Halls A-D of Sands Expo.
