Skyworks Introduces Expanded Wi-Fi 7 Portfolio with Next-Generation, High-Efficiency and High-Performance Front-End Modules and Filters

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS), a global leader in high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today introduced the expansion of its Wi-Fi 7 portfolio. Skyworks’ new comprehensive lineup of front-end modules (FEMs) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters are designed to enhance range and coverage across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.

Skyworks’ Gen 2 FEMs have been validated across leading SoC platforms. Skyworks’ Full-band filters are the industry’s only solution that allow simultaneous operation over the 5.170~5.895GHz and 5.945-7.125GHz bands with only one filter per band.

Through its proprietary architecture, Skyworks strives to deliver front-end modules and filters that combine high linearity at high power to enable systems to deliver more content at higher speeds over larger coverage areas. These next-gen FEMs strike a balance by delivering faster speeds at further range, while delivering higher throughput at the maximum output power available.

“Skyworks provides Wi-Fi 7 solutions that deliver performance where it matters most,” said Herman Eiliya, vice president of Wi-Fi connectivity solutions at Skyworks. “Our Gen 2 FEMs and Full-band filters are engineered to maximize throughput and range while minimizing latency, giving our customers a competitive edge so they can build smarter, faster, and more efficient wireless systems.”

Skyworks offers full RF front-end solutions, enabling greater flexibility and performance across all Wi-Fi bands. The Full Band technology enables access points to operate across the full 5GHz spectrum, including UNI 1–4, and the full 6GHz spectrum, including UNI 5-8. Skyworks filters allow systems to utilize every band to the edge, unlocking the full potential of modern Wi-Fi standards.

Key Features

Filters

• Full-band Filtering: SKY85922-11 and SKY85923-11 are the only filters that offer simultaneous transmit and receiver (STR) performance across the full 5GHz and 6GHz bands
  • Enabling use of every channel up to the band edge with no signal fallout. The inclusion of UNI 1-4 enables Channel 163, a high power, non-DFS, 160MHz channel, bringing the total number of available 160MHz channels to three

Front-End Modules

• Lower Power Consumption: Gen 2 FEMs can operate down to a VCC of 3.15V, lowering power dissipation while maintaining performance
• High Output Power: Supports up to 36dBm EIRP for high-performance mesh deployments. Support for Channel 163, enabling higher output power, lower FEM supply voltage, and simplified mesh deployments with just one filter
• Nonlinear FEMs: Nonlinear FEMs are designed to operate with DPD systems enhancing range and throughput while maintaining lower power consumption.
• Broad SoC Compatibility: Supports all major Wi-Fi SOC solutions
• Compact Form Factors: Available in 3x3mm and 3x5mm MCM packages
• Complete Portfolio: FEMs and filters cover 2GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands
