Recently, Dr. Fu Haipeng, CEO of Tianjin Agilitech, said in an exclusive interview with this site that he will continue to be optimistic about the related markets in the automotive field in 2023.
Agilitech (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd., established in early 2021, is a professional fabless semiconductor design, sales, and after-sales service integrated company. The company's technology focuses on the direction of radio frequency integrated circuits, focusing on providing the ultimate broadband radio frequency chips and solutions to achieve domestic substitution.
2023 is a critical year for Agilitech. Because of the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, the pace of customer expansion has slowed down, and it has basically focused on product research and development. Therefore, with the epidemic this year, the company has fully opened up. It will also accelerate market and customer expansion.
It is reported that the target markets of Agilitech's four major product lines cover the Internet of Things, automotive, industrial and communications fields, and many products have been successfully mass-produced and launched.
The first is the field of wireless communications. The company has a variety of Wi-Fi 6 FEMs suitable for routers, APs, gateways and other equipment. The performance indicators of Wi-Fi FEM chips developed by Agilitech are better than those of competing products. Its innovative compact linear technology It can significantly reduce the cost of high-power PA and meet customer demand for extremely cost-effective products.
In the field of mobile communications, the company has already actively invested in the small base station market, and has launched a self-developed PLL clock circuit chip this year. The clock source is equivalent to the heart of the system. By generating a stable frequency clock signal, it ensures that the system Each module can run stably and cooperate with each other. It is currently in the customer verification stage.
It is worth mentioning that Agilitech is one of the few domestic companies that can provide technologies including voltage controlled oscillators, PLL, DDS and clock buffers. Compared with competing products, Agilitech's self-developed PLL clock circuit chip has higher performance and integration level, and can be used in scenarios such as communication base stations, vehicles and industrial applications. The company will also continue to launch solutions in related fields.
In IoT applications, Agilitech has also successively cooperated with many manufacturers, such as smart security, smart doorbells and other applications. By combining millimeter-wave radar with security cameras, and taking advantage of millimeter-wave radar's anti-interference and all-weather capabilities to detect the target's orientation, the camera can be turned on in time and conduct high-accuracy detection and activity trajectory tracking of human activities in real time.
In addition, Agilitech is also actively expanding into the industrial field, and has successfully introduced UWB ultra-wideband centimeter-level high-precision positioning solutions in underground tunnels, offshore oil fields and other scenarios, providing self-developed RF front-end chips and solutions for real-time positioning and trajectory tracking. Ensure the safety of staff.
The original intention of the establishment of Agiltech Technology was to provide customers with not only domestically produced alternatives, but more importantly, to achieve true "Chinese cores" through its own research and breakthroughs in technology. The essence of domestic substitution should not only be low-cost substitution, but should be based on the product itself and gain market share through innovative technology, functions and design. At the same time, we provide customers with more added value in solutions by cooperating with ecological partners. And through continuous technological innovation, we will bring customers cutting-edge products and better performance.
In the next three years, Agilitech will continue to invest more research and development efforts in the fields of clock/frequency sources, Wi-Fi FEM, 6G millimeter wave and millimeter wave radar chips, and provide world-leading RF chips and systematic system-level solutions. . At the same time, we provide customers with more diverse product choices through diversified product line layouts, and work with more ecological partners to provide customers with greater support in terms of cost control and product launch time.
The core team of Agilitech Technology are all senior experts from top domestic and foreign semiconductor design companies and research institutes. The core technologies and IP related to the products are all self-developed. The R&D cycle and product costs are independently controllable. Product performance is in line with international cutting-edge The technical routes are continuously improved simultaneously to create value for customers.
The company won the only special prize in the Overseas Talent Entrepreneurship Competition of Tianjin's first "Haihe Talents" Entrepreneurship Competition. It has a complete technology chain of product customization, design and development, and solution development, and has a world-class RF chip and RF front-end module testing platform. . Team members have more than 15 years of integrated circuit R&D management experience and design accumulation, as well as a variety of silicon-based and III-V process application and product development experience. At present, it has launched a variety of chip series products and overall solutions, and applied for a number of independent intellectual property rights.
Dr. Fu Haipeng, CEO of Agilitech, has been engaged in RF IC research and development for 15 years. He has published 75 top international conference and journal papers, has more than 60 invention patents, presided over key research and development plan projects, natural science foundation and other projects, and has been engaged in RF phase-locked loops, millimeter waves and other projects. Methods such as terahertz source detection have achieved important original results. It has successfully developed domestic MB-OFDM UWB radio frequency front-end, software radio radio frequency front-end, and 5G millimeter wave front-end.
At this stage, through a sales model that combines direct sales and distribution, Agilitech can not only maintain close contact with downstream well-known brand customers, but also make full use of dealers' sales and service channels to promote its products to more downstream customers and increase the market for its products. share and broaden the coverage of product sales. The company focuses on the direction of radio frequency chips and microsystems, is committed to the pursuit of excellent quality, iterative breakthroughs and continuous innovation, and is guided by market and customer needs to provide customers with the most suitable products and solutions. In the future, Xinlingtong will continue to strive to become a world-class RF chip and microsystem design company.
