03.25.26 -- Powering The Next Wave Of Wireless Innovation

Wi-Fi 8 builds on Wi-Fi 7 by prioritizing smarter spectrum use, multi-AP coordination and power-efficient performance rather than simply increasing data rates. To meet new demands in CPE and mobile designs, engineers must focus on flexible, highly integrated and thermally efficient front-end solutions that enable intelligent, future-ready wireless connectivity.

Modern defense and aerospace RF systems demand higher power, wider bandwidth and greater reliability within strict SWaP-C constraints. Wideband GaN-on-SiC solid-state power amplifiers provide a compact, efficient and scalable alternative for next-generation radar, SATCOM and EW platforms.

As robotics adoption is accelerating across industrial, logistics and service markets. Engineers must deliver precise motion control, reliable connectivity and efficient power management within compact, cost-effective designs. Qorvo’s integrated portfolio of UWB positioning, motor control, battery management, power management and Wi-Fi solutions enables smarter, more efficient and highly connected robotic systems.

Connected cars use 5.9 GHz V2X communications for real-time interaction between vehicles, infrastructure, and networks, improving safety and efficiency. Achieving reliable, secure, low-latency connectivity requires advanced RF front-end design, robust signal processing, and optimized architectures to overcome interference, attenuation, antenna, and power challenges.

As demand for precise indoor positioning grows, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth® Low Energy offer distinct tradeoffs in accuracy, range, power, and scalability. While Bluetooth LE remains widely adopted and low power, UWB delivers centimeter-level accuracy, stronger security, and scalability for advanced location-based applications.
