SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 named industry sales & marketing veteran, Barry Waxman to its Advisory Board. Resonant formed the advisory board in late August to aid in marketing and commercializing its designs.
Mr. Waxman has more than 25 years’ experience in sales and developing strategic partnerships in diversified segments of the high tech industry. His expertise spans a broad range of technology sectors including semiconductors and system-level products used in wireless, including tunable filters. He currently serves as the VP of sales & marketing at Newlans, a developer of programmable duplexer and filter products for the RFFE. He has also served in executive and senior management roles at Western Digital, Adaptec, Mylex, PixelMagic, Microtouch Systems, and various startups.
In 2001, Mr. Waxman founded business development firm TechASIA Management to accelerate design wins by providing strong, well established OEM/ODM relationships and native language, in-country support. Mr. Waxman is also a member of Launchpad Venture Group, a Boston-area angel investor group. He earned his B.S. in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from Paisley College of Technology, King’s College, London.
Mr. Waxman stated: “I am pleased to have this opportunity to help Resonant commercialize its designs. Resonant’s filter design tools and technology can deliver cost and size reductions for its customers in a market that is experiencing ever growing demand, driven by band proliferation and carrier aggregation. With the Company’s development of a tunable filter design well underway, I look forward to showing the benefits of replacing multiple filters with Resonant’s single tunable filter.”
CEO and Co-Founder Terry Lingren, added, “Our newly formed Advisory Board already is engaged with our senior leadership team, contributing their expertise and insight into the RFFE marketplace. We look forward to benefiting from the addition of Barry to this veteran team of wireless professionals. His global business perspective will help propel Resonant into new customers and market opportunities.
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 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.
