Charlotte, N.C., Aug. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKTS) (“Akoustis” or the “Company”), a manufacturer of patented single-crystal BulkONE® bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications, announced that CEO, Jeff Shealy will present at Canaccord Genuity’s 37th Annual Growth Conference being held in Boston on Wednesday, August 9th at 9:30 a.m. EDT.
The investor presentation will be webcast live and available for replay at: http://wsw.com/webcast/canaccord26/akts and on the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.akoustis.com.
Investors are also invited to request a one-on-one meeting with Mr. Shealy during the conference by contacting their Canaccord Genuity representative.
Akoustis is pioneering next-generation material science to address the market requirements for improved RF filters - targeting higher bandwidth, higher operating frequencies and higher output power compared to incumbent polycrystalline BAW technology deployed today. Superior performance is driven by the significant advances of high-purity, single-crystal piezoelectric materials and the resonator-filter process technology. The advanced material properties drive electro-mechanical coupling, which translates to wide filter bandwidth. High-band RF filters are achieved by leveraging the Company’s high-sound velocity, single-crystal piezoelectric materials. These single-crystal piezoelectric materials offer high-thermal conductivity along the path of heat flow, enabling high-power handling capability of the RF filter.
