Delivering Unmatched Performance and Scalability to Meet Global Demand
 Greensboro, NC - January 11, 2021 - Qorvo®
(Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider of innovative solutions that connect and power
the world, today introduced two
Wi-Fi 6E front end modules (FEMs) designed to maximize throughput and range
in high-bandwidth applications such as 8K video streaming, online gaming and
virtual reality.
Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of Wi-Fi 6 that operates in the recently opened
6 GHz frequency band, in addition to the traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands. Wi-Fi 6E triples Wi-Fi capacity with contiguous spectrum to accommodate
7 additional 160 MHz-wide channels or 14 additional 80 MHz channels.
Qorvo's Wi-Fi 6E FEMs unleash the full potential of this new spectrum, delivering
leading linearity performance and maximizing throughput and capacity at peak
permissible indoor power levels.
The Qorvo QPF4656 and QPF4632 deliver robust and rugged performance with
world-class energy efficiency, and the highest speed and throughput at the maximum
power levels supported by Wi-Fi 6E's extended bandwidth. The QPF4656 is designed
for consumer Wi-Fi 6E routers and gateways. The QPF4632 is designed for enterprise
power-over-ethernet (POE) Wi-Fi 6E products and applications.
The Qorvo Wi-Fi 6E FEMs deliver up to 25% more power efficiency than current
solutions in compact packaging, enabling cost, size and thermal performance
advantages in consumer and enterprise wireless networking solutions.
Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo's Wireless Connectivity business, said,
"Qorvo's new Wi-Fi 6E FEMs deliver on the Wi-Fi 6E promise to enable high-bandwidth
applications with faster data speeds and lower latency—and in smaller, more
rugged form factors. Consumers and businesses will see significant improvements
in home entertainment, gaming and social experiences."
The QPF4656 and QPF4632 FEMs are sampling now.

including those relating to fluctuations in our operating results; our substantial
dependence on developing new products and achieving design wins; our dependence
on a few large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue; a loss of
revenue if contracts with the United States government or defense and aerospace
contractors are canceled or delayed or if defense spending is reduced; the COVID-19
pandemic, which has and will likely continue to negatively impact the global
economy and disrupt normal business activities, and which may have an adverse
effect on our results of operations; our dependence on third parties; risks
related to sales through distributors; risks associated with the operation of
our manufacturing facilities; business disruptions; poor manufacturing yields;
increased inventory risks and costs due to timing of customer forecasts; our
inability to effectively manage or maintain evolving relationships with platform
providers; risks from international sales and operations; economic regulation
in China; changes in government trade policies, including imposition of tariffs
and export restrictions; our ability to implement innovative technologies; underutilization
of manufacturing facilities as a result of industry overcapacity; we may not
be able to borrow funds under our credit facility or secure future financing;
we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt; restrictions
imposed by the agreements governing our debt; volatility in the price of our
common stock; damage to our reputation or brand; fluctuations in the amount
and frequency of our stock repurchases; our recent and future acquisitions and
other strategic investments could fail to achieve financial or strategic objectives;
our ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees; our reliance on our
intellectual property portfolio; claims of infringement of third-party intellectual
property rights; security breaches and other similar disruptions compromising
our information; theft, loss or misuse of personal data by or about our employees,
customers or third parties; warranty claims, product recalls and product liability;
and risks associated with environmental, health and safety regulations and climate
change. Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are, and will continue
to be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any worsening of the global
business and economic environment as a result. These and other risks and uncertainties,
which are described in more detail in Qorvo's most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K and in other reports and statements filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, could cause actual results and developments to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by any of these forward-looking statements.
