Frost & Sullivan Applauds Advantech Wireless's Gallium Nitride Devices for Balancing Performance and Economy in a New Application Terrain

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the gallium nitride (GaN)-based devices market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Advantech Wireless with the 2014 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation Leadership. Advantech Wireless's new series of GaN-based solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and other telecom devices have revolutionized the GaN devices market with their small form factor, reduced power consumption and heat generation, as well as capital and operating cost-efficiency.

Until recently, GaN's linearity, processing, biasing, and cost characteristics appeared to limit the semiconductor's use to devices in low-frequency commercial applications and defense communications, where price was not much of an issue. Advantech Wireless was determined to bring the semiconductor into higher-powered commercial markets, as it was convinced of GaN's potential in radio frequency power amplification and other telecom applications.

Following this vision, Advantech Wireless dedicated significant resources to developing path-breaking technologies such as its high-power amplifier, which can simultaneously transmit to all satellite transponders from a single antenna. This capability facilitates cost-efficient, energy-saving communications connectivity by enabling the replacement of multiple antennas and up to hundreds of TWTs/Klystrons.

"Advantech Wireless noted that the introduction of GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) in early 2000 left an undeniable mark on the satellite communication landscape," said Frost & Sullivan Research AnalystMike Valenti. "Therefore, the company launched its ambitious R&D program in 2006 to design and manufacture a complete line of C-, X-, and Ku-band SSPAs that could meet the most demanding satellite communication applications."

Another outcome of the company's intense R&D efforts is the SapphireBlu™ Series of UltraLinear™ GaN technology-based, high-power amplifiers. The greater ground power, linearity, and cost-savings of the SapphireBlu™ Series, along with Advantech Wireless's 13m A-line antenna in a major direct-to-home (DTH) Uplink system inLatin America, allowed viewers in Latin America and Brazil to watch the biggest sport tournament played inBrazil.

Importantly, Advantech Wireless understands the importance of facilitating key Mega Trends such as Innovating to Zero and Enhanced Connectivity. Its products can enable key reductions in the size, weight, and power of telecommunications equipment from the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band to the Ka band (part of the K band of the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) in satellite communications.

"Advantech Wireless develops solutions that balance satellite spectral efficiency to provide the smallest occupied bandwidth at enhanced link availability," noted Valenti. "This results in capital and operating cost-savings that can be passed along to the customer."

With regard to device efficiency, the Advantech Wireless GaN-based SSPA has a dramatic 65 percent increase in mean time between failures (MTBF) compared to the company's similar GaAs-based SSPA product because of the reliability of components, number of components, and electrical efficiency of the former. The SapphireBlu™ Series high-power SSPAs are able to achieve up to 6 kilowatts in radio frequency power, proving their reliability in the most environmentally stringent and demanding work conditions.

Furthermore, the company employs a Quality Management System that is compliant with the ISO9001 standard across its entire business. Its corporate leadership regularly reviews this system to ensure that it continues to assist Advantech Wireless in achieving its quality objectives and providing sufficient resources to achieve its goals.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased ROI it offers customers, which, in turn, increases customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.
