Key Technology Differentiators

Extreme low power

Offers extended battery life for cloud connected devices. Industry's only digital polar architecture, PolaRFusion, sets a new industry benchmark for low power, and maximizing battery life in energy critical wireless IoT applications.

High-level of solution flexibility

The PolaRFusion radio architecture can be applied to a wide range of industry standard wireless protocols based in software including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, NB-IoT, LTE/5G, and a host of other popular and emerging wireless standards.

Complete wireless solution integration

The efficient InnoPhase IoT digital intensive design enables the integration of almost the entire wireless solution that is found in a traditional module level product including the digital based radio, an MCU for lightweight applications, memory, I/O and RF support circuitry.

Benefits from process technology advances

The move from analog-intensive to a digital RF design means that wireless solutions can finally get onto Moore's Law Curve. Unlike traditional analog IQ radios, the digital PolaRFusion architecture will now enable radios to go to even lower levels of power use and smaller die sizes as more advanced semiconductor process nodes are used.
