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.
About Akoustis Technologies, Inc.
Akoustis® (http://www.akoustis.com) is a high-tech RF filter solutions company that designs and
manufactures its unique, patented BulkONE® technology to produce single-crystal bulk acoustic wave (BAW) RF filters for mobile and
other wireless markets, which facilitate signal acquisition and accelerate band performance between the antenna and digital back
end. Its BulkONE® technology will service the fast growing multi-billion dollar market of device OEMs, network providers, and
consumers to diminish Front End phone heat, battery drain and signal loss -- all considered to be directly related to current RF
polycrystalline filter technologies' limitations. The Company owns and operates a 120,000 sq. ft. ISO-9001 certified
commercial wafer-manufacturing facility located in Canandaigua, NY, which includes a class 100 / class 1000 cleanroom facility -
tooled for 150-mm diameter - for the design, development, fabrication and packaging of RF filters, MEMS and semiconductor devices.
Akoustis is headquartered in the Piedmont technology corridor near Charlotte North Carolina
