RFMD expanded its broad portfolio of Wi-Fi products to include two new front end modules (FEMs) for automotive Wi-Fi applications. RFMD's new RFFM8500Q is a compact, high linearity FEM supporting 5 GHz Wi-Fi and featuring a power amplifier (PA), low noise amplifier (LNA) and single pole double throw (SPDT) switch. RFMD also unveiled its 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi high linearity FEM, the RFFM8200Q, which includes a PA, LNA and single pole triple throw (SP3T) switch.

Both products are ISO/TS 16949 certified, offer best in class performance, and are tested in accordance with the AECQ-100 automotive specification. The RFFM8500Q and the RFFM8200Q FEMs are the newest addition to RFMD's growing family of ISO/TS 16949-certified products for automotive Wi-Fi, and will be available for volume production this quarter. ISO/TS 16949 certification is the highest international quality standard for the automotive industry, and incorporates ISO technical specifications that are more stringent than ISO 9001 quality management system requirements.

RFMD achieved ISO/TS 16949 certification in 2012 and provides complete production part approval process (PPAP) packages for its automotive Wi-Fi products.
