Qorvo® Introduces Industry's First Wi-Fi 6 iFEM with BAW Filter to Deliver Whole-home Coverage

QPF7219 with Qorvo® edgeBoost™ triples capacity and nearly doubles range

Greensboro, NC, January 2, 2020 – Qorvo^® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions that connect the world, today launched the industry's first integrated front-end module (iFEM) that provides reliable, whole-home coverage when designed into Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) systems. The iFEM combines Qorvo's advanced BAW filter technology with its unique edgeBoost – or flat power – capability, nearly doubling Wi-Fi range and tripling capacity to handle more devices.

The Wi-Fi Alliance^® forecasts as many as 50 billion connected wireless devices around the world by 2022.¹ The new Qorvo QPF7219 iFEM opens up the full 2.4GHz Wi-Fi bandwidth, making it all usable throughout the smart home and delivering more FCC-compliant range than any competing product.

Cees Links, GM, Qorvo's Wireless Connectivity business, said, "Qorvo is committed to solving our customers' Wi-Fi 6 system performance challenges. Our new, compact edgeBoost BAW filter iFEM resolves interference, improves efficiency and reduces size – all while increasing speed, extending coverage and connecting more devices."

The QPF7219 integrates a 2.4 GHz power amplifier (PA) with power detector, FCC edgeBoost^™ BAW filter, regulator, transmit-receive switch and by-passable low-noise amplifier into a single device. This removes 20 surface mount components based on a 4x4 configuration, reducing printed circuit board area by 40 percent compared to standalone solutions.

The PA's performance, optimized for a 5V supply voltage, conserves power while maintaining the highest linear output power and leading-edge throughput across all Wi-Fi channels 1 through 11. This eliminates the need to reduce transmit power (flat power) to meet FCC regulatory limits. It makes range, capacity and coexistence improvements across all available channels, significantly increasing quality of service.

Qorvo solutions that simplify the IoT's toughest tech challenges will be on display at CES^®2020 (#CES2020) in Las Vegas, Jan. 7-10, Sands Expo #43109. More information about the company’s Wi-Fi innovation can be found at https://www.qorvo.com/innovation/wi-fi
