SAN JOSE, California – January 6, 2025: Frore Systems today announced that their AirJet Mini Sport solid-state active cooling chip, designed to support IP68 waterproof devices, has been named Honoree in CES 2025 Innovation Awards program, in the category of Computer Hardware & Components. The annual CES Innovation Awards program is owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, recognize and honor exceptional designs and engineering in technology that tackle global challenges and drive meaningful change based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic and design. The 2025 awards program received a record-breaking number of submissions, over 3400, a 13% increase from CES 2024.
Frore Systems was honored to receive this recognition from the CES Innovation Awards program for the second year running. In 2024, the CES Innovation Awards program, bestowed the “Best of Innovation Awards” Honoree for AirJet Mini, the world’s first solid-state active cooling chip, in the Embedded Technologies category. AirJet also received CES® 2024 Innovation Awards Honoree in both the Computer Hardware & Components, and Embedded Technologies categories.
This year’s winner, the AirJet®Mini Sport, enables active cooling in IP68 devices. Building on the success of its pioneering AirJet Mini, Frore Systems enhanced the capabilities of its innovative solid-state active cooling chip to support devices with industry’s highest IP68 waterproof rating. In addition to its waterproof capabilities, AirJet Mini Sport retains all the intelligent features of theAirJet Mini Slim including dust resilience with self-cleaning, and thermoception. The AirJet Mini Sport is a fully self-contained heat removal solution, that weighs only 7 grams, is just 2.65mm thick with a tiny 27.5mm x 41.5mm footprint, and silently removes 5.25 W of heat per chip.
The demand for increased device performance has surged, driven by advancements in Edge AI and On-Device AI applications. While the latest processors can deliver mind blowing performance, within seconds they are forced to throttle, or slow down, to prevent overheating which can severely damage device electronics. Traditional fan based cooling, which is not waterproof or dustproof, cannot be used in IP68 devices, leaving manufacturers unable to remove enough heat to enable the growing demand for increased performance.
With the new waterproof AirJet Mini Sport, IP68 devices like smartphones and action cameras can achieve a performance boost of up to 80% while remaining waterproof and dustproof, and without having to compromise on the small form factor users love. The AirJet Mini Sport meets the rigorous IP68 standard, demonstrating full performance recovery after submersion in over 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. The AirJet Mini Sport makes increasing device performance a breeze, enhancing AI processing capabilities in faster, silent, thinner, lighter, vibration free, dustproof and waterproof devices that can be used in any environment.
"We are thrilled to be honored by CES® 2024 Best of Innovation Awards for the second consecutive year. AirJet Mini Sport exemplifies the criteria evaluated for these awards – innovative design and engineering features.” said Dr. Seshu Madhavapeddy, founder and CEO of Frore Systems. “Consumers demand increased performance in compact devices they can use anywhere, on land or in water. AirJet unleashes device performance, now enabling users to do more with their IP68 dustproof and waterproof devices. We are thrilled that CES 2025 continues to recognize the significant impact we are making in numerous device categories."
What makes AirJet truly compelling is not only its innovation in efficient heat removal, but its role as an enabler for manufacturers to unlock performance and innovation in a wide range of applications. By solving the challenge of heat, manufacturers can now design products that fully harness the powerful new technology available on the market. This opens a world of possibilities for advancements in various industries, making AirJet a game-changer in the consumer electronics landscape like those exhibiting at CES 2025.
