MaxLinear, Inc. and jjPlus announced that Zinwell has integrated MaxLinear's AirPHY multi-gigabit modem technology with jjPlus's 65W magnetic resonant wireless power module into its 3rd generation ZRA-003 device, which can transfer power and gigabit data through glass windows or structural walls up to 20cm thick. The breakthrough solution enables wireless internet service providers (WISPs) to offer a 4G/LTE or 5G millimeter wave wireless broadband service with gigabit speeds and deliver it without any wires to an indoor Wi-Fi router, eliminating the need for drilling holes and costly professional installations. With this new technology, consumers can easily connect an outdoor unit (ODU) with an indoor unit (IDU) to enjoy gigabit wireless speeds in their existing Wi-Fi home network.

Resonant coupling occurs when specially designed magnetic 'resonators', consisting of a transmitter module and a receiver module, share the same resonant frequency. The jjPlus embedded power module is based on years of collaboration with its strategic partner, WiTricity Corporation. The power modules follow the AirFuel Alliance Resonant charging standards to enable high efficiency wireless power transfer across much greater distances than other available technologies in today's market.

The wireless power can also penetrate through window glass and other common building materials like concrete, stone, brick, wood, stucco and plaster. With 65W of output power, the ZRA-003 can provide sufficient power to enable next-generation millimeter wave modems for 5G gigabit-speed internet services. Its innovative magnetic resonant technology can penetrate a 20cm concrete wall, which has never been demonstrated until now.

With a simple, fast installation, the ZRA-003 will potentially save service providers millions of dollars in truck rolls to set up new subscribers.
