The Future of Wireless is WiSpry! WiSpry is a fabless RF semiconductor company that has developed truly disruptive technologies for the wireless market. WiSpry brings significant performance improvements, size and cost reduction benefits to mobile handset manufacturers and network operators. This is achieved by on-chip integration of dynamically tunable RF elements into mobile handset front-end circuits.
The key to WiSpry’s technology is the integration of patented RF-micro-electro-mechanical–systems (MEMS) devices with industry standard RF-CMOS process flows, thereby enabling convergence of digital, analog, and RF functionality on a single chip.
This integration enables WiSpry’s very high performance tunable digital capacitors to take advantage of the latest advancements in logic and RF-CMOS processes resulting in substantial performance benefits at a cost that leverages the large fabless CMOS manufacturing infrastructure.
Key benefits and value validated by top-tier mobile handset manufacturers include:
Customers developing increasingly complex multi-band and multi-standard smart phone platforms can now take advantage of the superior performance enabled by high-performance, tunable RF using MEMS technology at a cost consistent with the requirements of consumer electronics. WiSpry’s proven software programmable front-end products can greatly simplify the schematic and layout of the smart phone design while saving time, valuable space and improving the RF-performance.
