Akoustis Technologies, Inc. announced it has received its first XBAWTM design win for the WiFi market from a tier-1 OEM and expects to ramp shipments beginning in the June quarter.

At its meeting on April 23, the FCC voted unanimously to allocate 1.2 GHz of spectrum in the 6 GHz band (i.e., between 5.925 and 7.125 GHz) for unlicensed use. “These new rules will usher in Wi-Fi 6, the next generation of Wi-Fi, and play a major role in the growth of the Internet of Things,” the FCC said in a release.

The addition of 1,200 MHz of spectrum for unlicensed use in the entire 6 GHz band, as approved by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), is a watershed moment for connectivity and innovation. As the leading global advocate of shared spectrum, the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance is particularly enthusiastic about the provisions adopted by the FCC.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced it has collaborated with Murata, a system-in-package integrator for 5G mobile platforms, to deliver the industry’s first RF front-end modules designed with the latest Wi-Fi 6 standards. Together, the companies are delivering a solution that can reduce design times, improve time-to-market and save board space in next generation Wi-Fi 6 implementations. 

ON Semiconductor has announced sampling of its new QCS-AX2 chipset family that supports the 6 GHz spectrum band based on the enhanced Wi-Fi 6E standard.
