Charlotte, N.C., Aug. 31, 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 and CFO, John Kurtzweil will present at the Drexel Hamilton Telecom, Media and Technology Conference being held in New York City on Wednesday, September 6th at 10:00 a.m. EDT.
The investor presentation will be webcast live and available for replay at: http://wsw.com/webcast/dham14/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 Akoustis management during the conference by contacting their Drexel Hamilton 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.
