Qorvo® Simplifies Wi-Fi 6E System Design with the First Single FEM to Support 5.1 to 7.1 GHz Bands
January 06 2022 - 8:00AM
Qorvo® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF
solutions that connect the world, today introduced the first
wideband Wi-Fi front-end module (FEM) covering the 5.1 GHz to 7.1
GHz bands for customer premises equipment (CPE). Qorvo’s new
wideband QPF4730 can provide full-frequency support for both Wi-Fi
6 and Wi-Fi 6E enterprise solutions.
In previous generations of Wi-Fi routers, each radio is
fixed to a specific frequency, due to the narrowband nature of
available solutions. To enable broadband operation, manufacturers
must currently place a 5 GHz front-end module, a 6 GHz front-end
module and switch components. The QPF4730 flexibly delivers full
high-band support while reducing the board space required in Wi-Fi
6E upgrades. This improves overall system performance, capacity and
flexibility.
Tony Testa, Qorvo director of Technical Marketing, said,
“Qorvo’s newest FEM is optimized to operate over 5 GHz, 6 GHz or
both, to maximize system capacity and throughput, which is not
possible in existing CPE designs. Qorvo’s QPF4730 is the first in a
family of new products that will address operational and
architectural flexibility for Wi-Fi 6E channels and will include
solutions for home gateways, routers and mesh systems.”
The QPF4730 enhances efficiency in Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 6E
architectures and is optimized for Power over Ethernet (PoE),
improving Quality of Service (QoS), range and throughput. This
solution maximizes user capacity and leverages the full available
spectrum. It also enables manufacturers to design smaller form
factors than current gateways to meet user expectations for more
compact, sleek and efficient designs. With its expanded spectrum,
Wi-Fi 6E provides higher throughput while servicing more client
connections in home, campus and enterprise settings.
