Fully Integrated Devices Simplify Customers' Design Challenges while Extending Connectivity Range and Enhancing Product Performance

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. SWKS, an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today introduced a new family of highly integrated wireless networking solutions for mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. The new SkyOne® WiFi suite combines Skyworks' industry-leading integration expertise and advanced 802.11ac technology to provide customers with a comprehensive front-end module in a single placement, compact footprint. Specifically, these new products incorporate all key radio frequency blocks between the Wi-Fi system-on-chip (SOC) and the antenna, unburdening customers of complex RF design challenges, while reducing time to market. This unique platform significantly improves the Wi-Fi system performance when compared to other standard SOC platforms and further mitigates interference with other radios, extending range and increasing throughput to greatly improve the user experience. The SKY85812-11, the first in the SkyOne® WiFi series of products, is currently shipping in flagship platforms globally with a top tier smartphone OEM.

"Today's mobile and IoT devices are now supporting up to 20 bands and require both seamless and robust Wi-Fi functionality to meet growing requirements from carrier offload, voice over IP and other bandwidth-intensive applications," said David Stasey, general manager and vice president of Diversified Analog Solutions at Skyworks. "Building upon our highly successful SkyOne® cellular platforms, Skyworks is now pleased to offer Wi-Fi solutions that deliver optimum levels of integration and performance."

According to ABI Research, more than 20 billion Wi-Fi chipsets are expected to be shipped between 2016 and 2021, particularly as Wi-Fi solutions expand beyond their traditional usage applications, frequency bands, device types and performance requirements. They also expect more than 95 percent of devices shipped in 2021 to support 5 GHz Wi-Fi, signifying increased spectrum sharing with cellular technologies.

About SkyOne® WiFi

The SKY85812-11 is dual-band front-end module incorporating a 5 GHz bypass low noise amplifier with single-pole, double-throw transmit/receive switch and a 2.4 GHz bypass low noise amplifier with single-pole, triple-throw switch with Bluetooth® port that allows for Wi-Fi antenna sharing. The SKY85812-11 also includes a 2 GHz LTE coexistence filter and diplexer – all designed into a compact, 16-pin 3 x 3 mm package.

Skyworks' SKY85812-11 is currently available for sampling and production. For more information, please visit Skyworks' Wi-Fi Connectivity FEM page or contact sales@skyworksinc.com.
