rf front-end technical

"6G new FR3 frequency range RF front-end (RFFE) power amplifier at Mobile World"

The RF front-end is the group of parts in a wireless device that send and receive radio signals — think of it as the device’s ears and mouth. It includes things like antennas, filters and amplifiers that shape signal strength, clarity and energy use; investors care because RF front-end quality affects product performance, battery life, manufacturing cost and competitiveness in markets like phones, cars and IoT devices.

rffe technical

"new FR3 frequency range RF front-end (RFFE) power amplifier at Mobile World"

Radio frequency front end (RFFE) is the collection of components in a wireless device that handles sending and receiving radio signals—things like amplifiers, filters, switches and antenna tuners. Investors care because RFFE performance and supply influence a device’s battery life, call quality and data speed, and they drive sales and profit for suppliers much like an engine and transmission determine a car’s performance and value.

lna technical

"SKYR60002 advanced 6G FR3 LNA and power amplifier module with integrated filters"

Locked nucleic acid (LNA) is a chemical modification of the building blocks of RNA that makes short genetic probes or drug-like molecules bind more tightly and resist breakdown in the body. Think of it as adding structural “brace” to a fragile thread so it holds its shape and sticks to its target more reliably. For investors, LNA can improve the potency, durability and diagnostic accuracy of RNA-based therapies and tests, which can shorten development time, lower doses, and increase commercial value.

3gpp technical

"spectrum supported in the latest 3GPP standard. The SKYR60002 6G FR3 LNA power"

3GPP is a global standards group that creates the technical rules enabling mobile networks and devices to work together — think of it as the rulebook for how phones, antennas and networks speak the same language. Investors care because these standards shape which technologies gain wide adoption, influence network rollouts, and affect patent licensing and equipment markets, all of which can change revenue and costs across telecom companies.

power amplifier technical

"new FR3 frequency range RF front-end (RFFE) power amplifier at Mobile World Congress"

An electronic device that boosts a weak electrical signal to a much stronger level so it can power an external load like a radio antenna, loudspeaker or motor. Think of it as a megaphone for electrical signals: it takes a small input and makes it large enough to reach distant receivers or drive heavy equipment. Investors care because power amplifiers are critical components in telecom, audio, industrial and defense products, affecting product performance, unit costs and supply-chain value for companies in those markets.

power class 1 technical

"The support for Power Class 1 (PC1) extends the 5G cell-edge coverage"

Power class 1 is a device rating that indicates higher wireless transmit power and therefore a longer radio range compared with lower power classes. For investors, it signals that a product can connect reliably over greater distances—like a louder voice carrying across a room—which can broaden its use cases, affect battery life and regulatory certification needs, and influence manufacturing costs and market competitiveness.

fixed wireless technical

"system design for high-performance fixed wireless and broadband applications."

Fixed wireless is a way to deliver internet or private data links to a specific building or location using radio signals between that site and a nearby wireless tower instead of running physical cables. Investors care because it can lower installation costs, speed deployment into new markets, and create steady subscription revenue, while also depending on factors like spectrum access, infrastructure investment and local competition that affect profitability and growth.

Live Demonstrations at MediaTek Hall 3, Stand 3D10

BARCELONA, Spain, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS) announced it will showcase an early 6G new FR3 frequency range RF front-end (RFFE) power amplifier at Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC26), taking place in Barcelona from March 2–5, 2026. Presented in collaboration with MediaTek, the live demonstration highlights the companies’ continued efforts to advance next-generation wireless platforms and accelerate access to future 6G technologies.

At MWC26 Hall 3, Stand 3D10, MediaTek will demonstrate a reference design that uses the SKYR60002 advanced 6G FR3 LNA and power amplifier module with integrated filters designed to support the new 6.425GHz to > 7 GHz spectrum supported in the latest 3GPP standard. The SKYR60002 6G FR3 LNA power amplifier module with integrated filters supports the high linearity, wide bandwidth support, and robust thermal performance needed to comply with stringent 3GPP standard requirements.

In addition, Skyworks will present the SKY58287-11 power amplifier module. This high-efficiency Ultra High Band (UHB) PC1 RFFE module is optimized for MediaTek platforms to address the growing need of network operators to extend the range and performance of their network infrastructure. This power amplifier module uses packaging technology that reduces thermal resistance, eliminating the need for a heat sink and simplifying system design for high-performance fixed wireless and broadband applications. The support for Power Class 1 (PC1) extends the 5G cell-edge coverage for wireless home internet applications.

“6G will introduce a new class of performance requirements, from wider bandwidths and higher frequencies to more advanced air interfaces and system-level efficiency,” said Evan Su, general manager of wireless communications business unit at MediaTek. “By working closely with Skyworks on early 6G power amplifier development and reference designs, we are aligning our chipset and RF roadmaps to give the ecosystem superior performance and earlier access to validated, end-to-end platforms. This collaboration helps accelerate innovation and lays the groundwork for future 6G deployments across next-generation wireless applications.” 

“Our collaboration with MediaTek is enabling meaningful progress at the front end of next-generation wireless platforms,” said Joel King, senior vice president and general manager of mobile solutions at Skyworks. “By demonstrating both an early 6G FR3 power amplifier and a high-efficiency UHB PC1 solution, we’re showing how close chipset-to-RFFE alignment can enable innovation, accelerate performance, simplify system design, and help customers prepare for what’s next in wireless connectivity.”
