The new chapter in collaboration combines KYOCERA AVX expertise in antenna products and services with STMicroelectronics expertise in semiconductors to help ST customers overcome design challenges and accelerate development cycles.

FOUNTAIN INN, S.C., March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components engineered to accelerate technological innovation and build a better future, is proud to join the STMicroelectronics Partner Program and make its antenna products and services accessible to ST customers.

KYOCERA AVX antenna products & services can help ST customers overcome design challenges and shorten development cycles.

STMicroelectronics (ST) is a global leader in semiconductor technology designed to serve customers throughout the electronics industry — extending from the automation, power, and energy segments to the smart mobility and autonomous things segments. Its ST Partner Program helps these customers overcome design challenges, capitalize on opportunities, accelerate development cycles, and support a more sustainable world by providing them with a carefully and continually vetted collection of industry partners that offer complementary, quality products that enhance ST’s broad product portfolio and simplify the design of end-to-end solutions.

KYOCERA AVX has collaborated with the STMicroelectronics engineering team on several antenna validation and implementation projects in recent years and passed the initial certification process required to join the ST Partner Program almost a year ago now. Since then, the two companies have further expanded their collaboration. KYOCERA AVX and STMicroelectronics will be co-exhibiting in the Arrow Electronics Booth (4A-342) at Embedded World this week (March 11–13, 2025) and are also collaborating on new products slated for market release later this year.

“KYOCERA AVX is a leading global supplier of innovative antenna solutions that utilize a variety of materials, accommodate a wide range of standard and custom configurations, and support major frequency bands and broad utility, extending from external indoor and outdoor applications to embedded on- and off-board designs,” said Carmen Redondo, Director of Global Marketing – Antennas at KYOCERA AVX. “We also provide customers with comprehensive, cutting-edge design support, and this combination of products, services, and expertise allows us to complement the ST product ecosystem in support of ST customers.”

Carmen continued, “As our collaboration has grown and strengthened, we’ve helped ST customers enhance the connectivity performance of their devices and expedite their time to market by customizing antennas for ST’s modules, supporting the implementation of standard antennas in reference designs, and conducting pre-certification testing for validation, and we’re excited to see our close collaboration continue to evolve.”

“KYOCERA AVX’s knowledge of the ST portfolio and extensive product and service expertise can help our customers overcome design challenges and shorten development cycles,” said Alessandro Maloberti, Partner Ecosystem Director, STMicroelectronics. “The initial certification and periodic vetting of ST Authorized Partners has helped us build a strong ecosystem of more than 300 trusted and proven suppliers capable of providing our customers with advanced technologies and value-added services that will enhance their designs and accelerate their time to market.”

“The ST Partner Program allows us to expand on our many strengths by drawing on the strengths of industry partners with complementary expertise,” said Sylvain Raynaud, Product Line Marketing Manager – STMicroelectronics. “Certifying KYOCERA AVX as an ST Authorized Partner made a wide variety of proven products and services — including standard and custom antennas, active antenna systems, and testing, consulting, and simulation services — readily available to ST customers looking to maximize their device connectivity and overcome connectivity challenges. This collaboration also allows us to streamline and enhance our end-to-end design solutions and help customers shorten their design cycles.”

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Published

By

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

About FranklinWH

FranklinWH Energy Storage is the manufacturer of the FranklinWH System. FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
