TriQuint’s innovative RF portfolio powers end-to-end connectivity

Mobile World Congress 2010; HILLSBORO, USA & BARCELONA, SPAIN: TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., a leading RF front-end product manufacturer and foundry services provider, outlined its portfolio expansion strategy to deliver a broad range of high performance products that enable end-to-end connectivity.

RF innovation has never been more critical, as service providers race to expand network capacity to handle the explosive demand from not only mobile phones, but new genres of mobile devices. TriQuint will exhibit a range of its latest RF solutions for OEM customers at the GSMA Mobile World Congress.

Ralph Quinsey, President and CEO, outlined TriQuint’s opportunities for 2010 during the recent Needham Growth Conference. He said “Insatiable demand for always-on connectivity is impacting the entire wired and wireless ecosystem. Today’s handsets are very sophisticated and include voice, data, video, location services and wireless connectivity options. To support these feature-rich mobile devices, network operators are expanding capacity, re-architecting infrastructure design, increasing 3G base station deployments, accelerating 4G planning and upgrading the backhaul transport. TriQuint has developed a broad product portfolio that services these growing markets.”

Industry analysts note the growth trends in the mobile industry. ABI Research predicted in December 2009* that shipments of Mobile Devices, which includes cellular handsets, Mobile Internet Devices, netbooks, mobile consumer electronics products, and cellular modems, will nearly double to a total of 2.25 billion before 2015. This represents an enormous opportunity for TriQuint to expand its total addressable markets by providing its broad RF solutions portfolio to the mobile devices and networks that will consume and deliver the content.

Quinsey added that “Consumers’ high expectations for connectivity will drive the entire ecosystem. Device OEMs are tasked with providing rich solutions with long lasting battery and strong, clear connections. Network operators are expected to deliver large amounts of data quickly and error free. ‘Green’ conscious regulators, consumers and providers are looking for efficient systems to mitigate the impact on our environment. Innovative technology solutions are required to meet these industry-wide challenges and reduce the footprint of our modern communications systems.

TriQuint’s solutions, based on the latest innovations and developments in RF technologies, offer customers performance, power efficiency, and the industry’s most compact packaging. We work closely with highly respected companies in the ecosystem and deliver a broad product portfolio of high quality end-to-end solutions.”
