- New customer selects Resonant to shorten time to market for a high performance quadplexer design
- Becoming second customer to leverage Resonant standard library-based quadplexer filter design
GOLETA, Calif., Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a leader in transforming the way radio frequency, or RF, front-ends are being designed and delivered for mobile handset and wireless devices, signed a license agreement for a high performance quadplexer design with a new customer entering the RF front-end market.
The complexity of filter designs continues to rise as the mobile market moves toward 5G where increasing bandwidth for high data-rate services is critical. Resonant’s ISN platform, fabless model and new standard library of products enables customers to enter the market quickly with proven designs.
“Signing a new, significant customer, with a background in high performance manufacturing of optoelectronic products, for a high performance quadplexer design achieves multiple goals,” stated George B. Holmes, CEO of Resonant. “First, our ISN design software platform and foundry partners significantly reduce the time to market, which attracted this new customer that is positioning to move quickly. Additionally, with our second library-based contract, we continue to expand our served markets. Resonant is developing a standard library of products, which will enable customers the ability to enter the market quickly with proven designs that further reduces their time to market. Finally, signing this contract for a quadplexer design, coupled with the fact that Resonant’s year-over-year unit volumes, although still relatively small, have already more than doubled and we have tripled royalty revenues in 2018 over 2017 through the end of September, demonstrates the increasing demand for designs using Resonant’s ISN software platform and IP. We are excited about our 2019 opportunity.”

About Resonant’s ISN Technology
Resonant can create designs for difficult bands, modules and other complex RF Front End requirements that we believe have the potential to be manufactured for half the cost and developed in half the time of traditional approaches. ISN is a suite of proprietary mathematical methods, software design tools and network synthesis techniques that enable us to explore a much larger set of possible design solutions that regularly incorporate our proprietary technology. We then quickly deliver design simulations to our customers, which they manufacture or have manufactured by one of our foundry partners. These improved solutions still use Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or Temperature Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) manufacturing methods and perform as well as those using higher cost manufacturing methods such as Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW). Resonant’s method delivers excellent predictability, enabling achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as many turns through the fab. In addition, because Resonant’s models are fundamental, integration with its foundry and fab customers is seamless because its models speak the “fab language” of basic material properties and dimensions.
