xin Technology News (Text/Fang Zhongtong) Mobile phone testing company Gengxing announced that its consolidated revenue in June was NT$260 million (the same unit below), an increase of 5.81% and 0.08% respectively from the previous month and the same period last year; cumulative 2019 In the first half of the year, consolidated revenue was 1.458 billion yuan, an increase of 0.76% compared with the same period last year. In addition, the board of directors of Gengxing in the second quarter approved the increase in capital investment in new instruments and equipment and production capacity expansion required by 5G, and it is expected that the layout will be completed in the next two years.
Gengxing said that in early June, the company worked together with major customers to obtain the world's first U.S. FCC (U.S. Federal Communications Commission) certificate for the 802.11ay Qualcomm module. Since 802.11ay has an increased bandwidth of 2.16GHz compared to 802.11ad, Dual-channel bonding to achieve 4.32GHz bandwidth and allow Wi-Fi technology to achieve double data rates up to 10Gbps.
Gengxing pointed out that the 802.11ay frequency is as high as 60GHz, the detection technology is more difficult, and the test time is significantly longer than that of traditional Wi-Fi products, which will help increase the unit price performance of a single product.
Gengxing further explained that due to the improved transmission performance of 802.11ay, it is expected to play a key role in the 5G era that emphasizes high transmission rates, large amounts of data and low latency. For example, using 802.11ay technology to replace the existing wired network to support The 5G fixed wireless access (Fixed Wireless AcCEss, FWA) function allows users to still enjoy high-speed broadband connections indoors; it can also bring applications such as AR, VR, 4K/8K video, and mobile terminal screen projection. New wireless experience, therefore, there is an opportunity to increase the scope of orders for Gengxing’s inspection business.
In order to cope with the latest development of 5G, in addition to increasing new capital investment and expanding production capacity in the second quarter, the company also plans to hold the latest technology sharing briefings every quarter and participate in consistency meetings of competent authorities in various countries (FCC, CE, Japan MIC, NCC...), actively conduct technical exchanges with international organizations (CTIA, PTCRB, 3GPP...) to fully prepare and master the latest testing technology leading the industry, provide customers with more complete testing and certification services, and understand the future 5G with customers Huge market opportunities brought by business transfer.
