Airgain : MaxLinear & Airgain Collaborate to Demonstrate Multi-Gigabit Data Transfer Through Low-E Glass Windows for 5G Fixed Wireless Access

• Demonstration combines MaxLinear's AirPHY wireless modem technology with Airgain's broadband, near-field antenna module
• Wireless solution uses unlicensed spectrum to penetrate all types of dual- and triple-paned low-E glass windows

Las Vegas, CES Show, January 8, 2017 - MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial and multimarket applications, today announced a collaboration with Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a global leader in wireless connectivity platforms, to demonstrate the wireless transfer of more than 2 Gigabits per second (Gbps) through low-emissivity (low-E) glass windows using a small, 2'x 2' window-mounted antenna module.

The ability to bridge gigabit data rates from the outside of the house to the inside of the house is a key challenge for 5G and 60GHz fixed wireless access technologies that use millimeter wave radio frequencies (RF). Millimeter wave RF signals are ideal for supporting ultra-high broadband speeds with very low latency, but they're incapable of penetrating building walls or energy efficient windows with low-E metallic coatings.

MaxLinear's AirPHY technology provides an ideal solution to this problem and eliminates the need for broadband service providers to drill holes in their customer's homes. AirPHY can be combined with any broadband access technology in an outdoor unit (ODU) attached to the home. Indoor units (IDUs) can easily be self-installed by aligning with the ODU and attaching to an inside wall or window. AirPHY operates within unlicensed radio frequency bands and below the FCC limits for radiated emissions.

Utilizing Airgain's compact solution, the AirPHY system combines antennas on either side of the building to provide near field coupling, which can penetrate through low-E windows or walls, efficiently and in a small form factor.

'High-performance broadband requires complex thinking, and understanding how to solve real-world wireless connectivity challenges is at the core of our business,' said Chuck Myers, President and CEO at Airgain. 'The AirPHY technology from MaxLinear is a clear example of thinking outside the box to address the last meter opportunity, and we're excited to be working collaboratively with MaxLinear to deliver new and innovative antenna systems to enable this technology.'

'Fixed wireless broadband operators are challenged to deliver gigabit speeds across the last meter, into the home,' said Will Torgerson, Vice President and General Manager, MaxLinear Broadband Group. 'AirPHY is an elegant solution that reduces installation costs and improves the customer experience.'

The AirPHY demonstration with Airgain's antenna will be held at CES 2018, January 9-12, in MaxLinear's private suites at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. For reservations, please contact [e-mail].
