Quick Company Facts
Company Focus
InnoPhase is a fabless semiconductor company that develops innovative and efficient RF architectures using CMOS technology. Building on our previous experience with WLAN IoT products, we have now turned our attention to building energy efficient radios for 5G/Cellular Networks.
(Wi-Fi products are now part of InnoPhase IOT)
Market Focus
Our products focus on cellular network radio equipment ranging from 2G/3G/4G/5G small cells to macro cells. Key markets include In-Building Wireless, Private Networks and Enterprise Applications in addition to MNO Deployments.
We believe our technology can provide significant efficiency improvements to any size network cells.
Product Availability
Our first cellular radio product, Hermes TWO was announced in 1Q23 with samples available to lead customers soon after the a release. A series of development kits for different network radio applications are in process and will be announced over time.
There will be continual innovation around the core digital radio and new product announcements are planned.
Technology Highlights
The patented “Digital-to-RF” architecture is completely unique and only available from our company. This design approach gives us the ability to implement RF transceivers in standard CMOS much like typical digital blocks.
We migrate to more advanced CMOS process technology nodes at a much faster rate than competitors, allowing the opportunity for more integration and higher efficiencies.
