Qorvo® Unleashes Full 6 GHz Performance with New Wi-Fi 6E FEMs
January 12 2021 - 8:00AM
Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions
that connect the world, today introduced two Wi-Fi 6E front end
modules (FEMs) designed to maximize throughput and range in
high-bandwidth applications such as 8K video streaming, online
gaming and virtual reality.
Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of Wi-Fi 6 that operates in the
recently opened 6 GHz frequency band, in addition to the
traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Wi-Fi 6E triples Wi-Fi
capacity with contiguous spectrum to accommodate 7 additional 160
MHz-wide channels or 14 additional 80 MHz channels. Qorvo’s Wi-Fi
6E FEMs unleash the full potential of this new spectrum, delivering
leading linearity performance and maximizing throughput and
capacity at peak permissible indoor power levels.
The Qorvo QPF4656 and QPF4632 deliver robust and rugged
performance with world-class energy efficiency, and the highest
speed and throughput at the maximum power levels supported by Wi-Fi
6E’s extended bandwidth. The QPF4656 is designed for consumer Wi-Fi
6E routers and gateways. The QPF4632 is designed for enterprise
power-over-ethernet (POE) Wi-Fi 6E products and applications.
The Qorvo Wi-Fi 6E FEMs deliver up to 25% more power efficiency
than current solutions in compact packaging, enabling cost, size
and thermal performance advantages in consumer and enterprise
wireless networking solutions.
Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo’s Wireless Connectivity
business, said, “Qorvo’s new Wi-Fi 6E FEMs deliver on the Wi-Fi 6E
promise to enable high-bandwidth applications with faster data
speeds and lower latency—and in smaller, more rugged form factors.
Consumers and businesses will see significant improvements in home
entertainment, gaming and social experiences.”
The QPF4656 and QPF4632 FEMs are sampling now.

our dependence on a few large customers for a substantial portion
of our revenue; a loss of revenue if contracts with the United

pandemic, which has and will likely continue to negatively impact
the global economy and disrupt normal business activities, and
which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations; our
dependence on third parties; risks related to sales through
distributors; risks associated with the operation of our
manufacturing facilities; business disruptions; poor manufacturing
yields; increased inventory risks and costs due to timing of
customer forecasts; our inability to effectively manage or maintain
evolving relationships with platform providers; risks from
international sales and operations; economic regulation in China;
changes in government trade policies, including imposition of
tariffs and export restrictions; our ability to implement
innovative technologies; underutilization of manufacturing
facilities as a result of industry overcapacity; we may not be able
to borrow funds under our credit facility or secure future
financing; we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to
service all of our debt; restrictions imposed by the agreements
governing our debt; volatility in the price of our common stock;
damage to our reputation or brand; fluctuations in the amount and
frequency of our stock repurchases; our recent and future
acquisitions and other strategic investments could fail to achieve
