SkyOne® Ultra 2.0 and SkyLiTE™ 2.0 with
SkyBlue™ Technology Meeting New Requirements for Increased Power
and Improved Data Coverage
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today announced that its portfolio of SkyOne® Ultra 2.0 and
SkyLiTE™ 2.0 solutions are among the industry’s leading front-end
modules supporting high power user equipment (HPUE) for mobile
devices. HPUE is a special class of user equipment for LTE cellular
networks which improve cell range and increase coverage. Skyworks’
complete RF front-end systems leverage the company’s proprietary
SkyBlue™ technology to deliver enhanced output power and meet HPUE
certification requirements from TDD carriers. SkyOne® Ultra 2.0
HPUE-compliant solutions are currently shipping at several
customers while the SkyLiTE™ 2.0 HPUE-compliant devices will be
available for ramps commencing in 2017. According to the latest
report from Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), 71 operators
in 43 countries have commercially launched LTE service using TDD
mode, with the unpaired spectrum expected to enjoy growth in all
regions.
“With smartphones supporting upwards of 20 frequency bands and
more than 30 carrier aggregation combinations, there is an
increasing need for innovative front-end solutions that address
high performance, cellular TDD-LTE applications,” said Carlos Bori,
vice president of sales and marketing for Skyworks. “Leveraging our
systems expertise, Skyworks is collaborating with carriers and OEMs
to develop highly-integrated devices that solve increasingly
complex RF challenges, meet the most demanding standards and
provide unparalleled performance.”
“HPUE significantly increases TDD-LTE Band 41 coverage and is an
important innovation that will benefit the global TDD-LTE
ecosystem,” said Dr. Ron Marquardt, vice president of technology
for Sprint. “HPUE will further unlock the advantages of the 2.5 GHz
spectrum, particularly as consumers require more capacity and
faster data speeds.”
About SkyOne® Ultra 2.0SkyOne® Ultra 2.0 is
a highly integrated, single LTE SKU solution that solves
harmonically-related carrier aggregation challenges through design
while delivering the highest linear RF power as well as power added
efficiency in the world. This innovative platform not only improves
performance in terms of power output and system efficiency, it also
delivers this performance in the most compact size commercially
available, supporting 22 bands in less than 240 square
millimeters.
About SkyLiTE™ 2.0SkyLiTE™ 2.0 is a highly
integrated module that incorporates the amplification, switching,
Wi-Fi filtering and coupler functionality required to support all
major FDD/TDD bands. With the addition of external duplexers, this
family of solutions provides OEMs with a scalable and
reconfigurable front-end system suitable for markets worldwide.
About SkyBlue™SkyBlue™ is an enabling technology
that delivers envelope tracking (ET)-like system efficiency, but
with a far simpler implementation method when compared to
traditional ET systems. Utilizing the more conventional average
power tracking (APT)-like approach, SkyBlue™ control is very
intuitive and has a very rapid learning curve relative to ET
calibration requirements. Skyworks has revolutionized the design
methodology to develop high power out capability while delivering
best-in-class system efficiency.
