Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a late-stage development company creating innovative filter designs for radio frequency front-ends (RFFEs) for the mobile device industry, today announced it has formed an Advisory Board to aid in commercializing its designs and named industry veterans Sean Curry and Chris Conlin as its inaugural members.

Mr. Curry brings significant mobile RF commercialization experience to Resonant as he spent more than 26 years with Avago Technologies from 1988 to 2014, including roles as Senior Sales Director and Director of Key Global Accounts. His sales experience includes building and managing relationships with Tier 1 global mobile phone OEMs, RF module suppliers, manufacturing and fabrication houses and component suppliers. Mr. Curry earned a B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Sheffield, England.

Mr. Curry stated: "I strongly believe Resonant's technology and filter design approach offer a differentiated product that is ready to sell into the market. Moreover, the Company's tunable filter has the potential to be a game changer in the mobile handset industry. I look forward to providing my support in promoting this technological advancement in the RFFE market."

Mr. Conlin has more than 25 years of managerial, business and organizational development experience with start-ups and very large companies. From 2009 to 2012, Mr. Conlin served as CEO of Murata Power Solutions, the power supply division of Murata Manufacturing Company, where he implemented a market expansion strategy designed to accelerate new product development, revenue and market share growth. Currently, he consults with CEOs on ways to promote organizational growth and effectiveness. He also has served in sales & marketing and business development roles at Skyworks Solutions, RF Monolithics (News - Alert), Jacket Micro Devices and Kennen Solutions.

About Resonant Inc.
Resonant is a late-stage development company creating innovative filter designs for the RF front-end for the mobile device industry. The RFFE is the circuitry in a mobile device responsible for analog signal processing and is located between the device's antenna and its digital baseband. Filters are a critical component of the RFFE that selects the desired radio frequency signals and rejects unwanted signals.


Using a patented, fundamentally new technology called Infinite (News - Alert) Synthesized Networks™ (ISN), Resonant has developed a new method of designing RF filters that can displace conventional filters by providing significant cost and size reductions, fewer components and improved performance. ISN can improve Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters to work in difficult, Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) bands with performance that is competitive with best in class products that exist on the market today. These capabilities will also allow Resonant to create filter designs that tune to multiple bands. Resonant plans to market these tunable designs, which would replace several existing filters while significantly reducing the overall size and cost of the RFFE.
