WiSpry, Inc., a fables semiconductor company that develops dynamically tunable radio frequency integrated circuits (RFIC) for wireless devices, announced it has closed a $13.5 million Series B round of financing led by investor L Capital Partners. Additional investors in the funding round include Hotung Capital Management, American River Ventures, Blueprint Ventures, In-Q-Tel, Tech Coast Angels and Western Technology Investment.
The company creates unique RF solutions enabled by MEMS technology that meet the performance, costs, size and power needs demanded by the mobile phone handset marketplace. WiSpry offers proprietary solutions for matching, tuning and switching RF signals that may be used in products like tunable RF front ends, tunable antennas and tunable power amplifiers. The company’s tunable digital capacitors can be assembled in a number of configurations to create products for wireless device and mobile phone manufacturers.
"The company's patented CMOS-compatible manufacturing process makes us the first fabless semiconductor company to enable high-volume, low-cost commercial production of fully integrated RF-MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) devices,” said Jeff Hilbert, co-founder and CEO of WiSpry. “As a result, we will deliver next-generation performance at prices competitive with traditional integrated circuits.”
"WiSpry has seen rapid acceptance of its innovative RF-MEMS solutions in the past year,” added Hilbert. “Its initial products, which are based on proprietary tunable-MEMS digital capacitors that can be configured and assembled into products for matching, filtering and switching of RF signals, dynamically reconfigure the RF front end of an individual's mobile phone to operate at optimal efficiency and provide the highest quality of service."
