Both products achieve best-in-class linearity
to deliver outstanding high-throughput Wi-Fi coverage in enterprise
and outdoor applications as well as vehicle-to-vehicle
communications
TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TQNT), a leading RF
solutions supplier and technology innovator, today announced that
Ruckus Wireless, a global supplier of advanced wireless systems,
has selected TriQuint’s two new high-performance 5GHz WLAN power
amplifiers (PAs) for its top-performing fifth-generation 802.11ac
Wi-Fi platforms.
“When building a world-class wireless system, it’s all about
unwavering attention to detail and using the best possible
components available,” said Victor Shtrom, Co-Founder and Chief
Wireless Architect for Ruckus Wireless. “TriQuint’s high-power WLAN
solutions help us deliver best-in-class Wi-Fi systems that give our
carrier and enterprise customers unparalleled Wi-Fi performance.
That’s the bottom line.”
Several other leading Wi-Fi infrastructure OEMs are evaluating
TriQuint’s new PAs. The TQP5525 and the TQP5523 deliver
best-in-class linearity1 to support the technically challenging
features of the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, such as multiple-use
MIMO with minimal co-channel interference. TriQuint’s new PAs also
are designed to support the power and voltage requirements of Power
over Ethernet (PoE)2 applications. The TQP5525 provides 0.5W output
power, while the TQP5523 supports 0.25W to achieve lower power
consumption at a lower cost.
“TriQuint continues to deliver advanced 802.11ac Wi-Fi products
that enable OEMs to support the users’ increasing demand for faster
data throughput,” said James Klein, TriQuint’s Vice President of
Infrastructure and Defense Products. “Our new WLAN power amplifiers
are optimized for high data rates and range, which creates a unique
user experience in the rapidly expanding Internet infrastructure
market. According to customer feedback, our TQP5525 delivers up to
3dB higher power output over our closest competition, which
would double the operating range of access points delivering
802.11ac throughput.”
As consumers and businesses increasingly turn to Wi-Fi networks
for data and multimedia connectivity, adoption of the 802.11ac
standard continues to accelerate. Wi-Fi devices with the new
standard are expected to represent 45 percent of consumer Wi-Fi
equipment shipments by year-end, according to ABI Research.3
Significant growth in Wi-Fi network deployments also is being
fueled by service providers’ plans to off-load and compliment data
traffic from strained LTE networks, especially in congested urban
areas.
The broadband performance of these TriQuint power amplifiers
supports the global expansion of available Wi-Fi spectrum as well
as the emerging intelligent transportation systems planned in the
dedicated short-range communications4 (DSRC) bands, also known as
the intelligent transportation system5 (ITS) band. Adhering to the
strict regulatory emissions required in the automotive industry,
these PAs are being implemented on a new generation of intelligent
driving systems with consumer-friendly, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)
communications that will enhance safety on the road, optimize
traffic patterns to reduce congestion, and improve the environment
by reducing emission and gas consumption. The PAs operate over the
broadest frequency range (4.9 - 5.925 GHz) available on the market,
providing a single solution that supports the expansion of the
Wi-Fi spectrum as well as V2V deployments.
