(NASDAQ: AKTS) (“Akoustis” or the “Company”), an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) of patented bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications, announced that a leading commercial SATCOM company placed a new development order. Along with three existing customers, all utilize the Company’s Process Design Kits (PDKs) and XBAW® foundry process to address applications in Satellite Communications, Wi-Fi, Mobile, and Defense. Akoustis is a pureplay BAW filter company originally focused on an Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) model and has recently expanded to provide a BAW foundry servicing North America, Europe, and Asia regions. The Company’s foundry services are primarily focused on 2 to 20 GHz in Commercial and Defense applications. In addition, Akoustis has released its new XBAW® Synthesizer software available for parties to explore the performance of XBAW® technology through the Company’s website. The software allows users to input parameters, such as bandwidth, rejection, and return loss, to generate a filter response and download the filter design s-parameter file. The Company’s XBAW® PDK provides designers the capability to create, simulate, draft, and validate designs prior to submitting them to Akoustis’ foundry for chip manufacturing. The XBAW® PDK will streamline the design process and increase chances of first-pass successful filter design. The XBAW® PDK offers a synthesizer for designs to work within the AWR environment and a layout automation tool. The layout generated, along with other fabrication layers, enables the final die layout ready for full 3D EM simulation in one step. Jeff Shealy, founder and CEO of Akoustis, stated, “With the release of our new XBAW® synthesizer software and integration of the PDK download, we are empowering all levels of engineering to design BAW RF filters expanding above 10 GHz.” Mr. Shealy continued, “As we continue to receive new orders for our foundry services, the XBAW® PDK is a revolutionary development offering a comprehensive toolkit, which accel...
