In addition to saving space, Forefront RF’s innovation comes with many other benefits including: • Lower manufacturing costs by mitigating the need for multiple model variants • Frequency agnostic capabilities that deliver component longevity • Streamlined supply chain for greater efficiency and less waste • Higher profit margins through cost-effective and efficient processes. With fewer components and a streamlined supply chain, Foretune™ is a sustainable, optimised choice that helps keep overproduction and CO2 emissions in check. The Foretune™ technology is an exceptionally inventive product that combines efficiency and flexibility into one optimal package. The technology allows for more innovation within the market at little cost to the environment due to its unique approach. Sustainable, streamlined, and simplified, Foretune™ is a remarkable demonstration of Forefront RF’s ability to successfully understand and meet the markets diverse and rapidly evolving needs. Conclusively, Forefront RF has developed and implemented an effective tuneable duplexer that benefits both the industry and the greater community through its simplified and sustainable design. The company has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to streamlining and enhancing software defined radio architectures and has been successful in its endeavours drive innovation in wireless technologies. For its stringent dedication and significant contributions to the field, Forefront RF has been recognised as the Most Innovative Fabless Semiconductor Company 2024 – UK. At the Very Forefront of Radio Frequency Innovation In our fast-paced world of advancing technology, remaining on the very cutting-edge of innovation is crucial. This is especially true for businesses hoping to effectively navigate the dynamic landscape of the telecommunications industry. Here, we take a look at Forefront RF, a leading fabless semiconductor company that has been named in the 2024 Corporate Excellence Awards. As the marvellous capabilities of our smartphones expand and increase, so does our data usage. According to industry estimates global data generation in 2010 was just 2 zettabytes. Now, this figure has reached 120 zettabytes and is predicted to rise a further 150% by the end of 2025. 90% of this data is estimated to have been generated in the last two years. With IoT reaching maturity and 5G now mainstream, global data generation is projected to soar. In turn, the increasing data usage on our smartphones, smart watches and other connected devices is driving the demand for more spectrum and more frequency bands. More bands result in more fixed frequency filters in software defined radio systems, causing complexity and space challenges. Simultaneously, there is an increased demand for more powerful and compact smartphones with slicker designs and greater functionality. Fixed frequency filters are integral to the operability of all FDD wireless devices in their current format. They ensure that their built-in transmitters and receivers can send and receive signals simultaneously, whilst preventing selfinterference from compromising their efficiency. As new frequency bands are being introduced, the component count per device increases in line, which is untenable in the long term. It is crucial that providers work to reduce the size of the mobile radio front end to effectively address these concerns. Founded in 2020, Forefront RF is making waves in the telecommunications industry with the introduction of its patented ForetuneTM technology, which could be a game changer for software defined radio system design. The company’s innovation overcomes RF interference challenges (inerrant in all wireless devices) by leveraging self-interference cancellation techniques. Comparable to how noise-cancelling headphones neutralize background noise, ForetuneTM dynamically cancels all unwanted high frequency signals by adding inverted versions of those signals, enabling cleaner transmission and reception in mobile devices. This innovation forms the basis of a breakthrough multiband mobile radio front end module that has the capacity to dynamically self-configure according to available frequency bands, thus simplifying design architecture and reducing the number of fixed frequency components. Having built a reputation for its forward-thinking approach and innovative methodologies, Forefront RF is backed by a group of astute VC firms and individuals, including Octopus Ventures, Foresight Group, BGF, Cambridge Innovation Capital, as well as a number of Cambridge Angels.
