August 22 2011 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high
reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad
range of end markets, today announced it is supporting ZTE’s ramp
of next generation tablets and laptops with EDGE and WCDMA/LTE
front-end solutions. Skyworks’ innovative modules are powering data
cards and USB modems to help deliver greater mobility for tablet
users that are equipped with cellular connectivity.
With these wins, Skyworks is broadening its relationship with
ZTE, one of the world’s fastest growing handset OEMs. ZTE already
leverages several of Skyworks’ TD-SCDMA and CDMA solutions for
handsets and will soon utilize Skyworks’ antenna switch modules in
several forthcoming smart phone platforms. According to both IDC
and Strategy Analytics, independent market research firms, ZTE was
ranked as the fifth largest global handset maker in the second
quarter of 2011, growing both its unit shipments and market
share.
“Skyworks is delighted to be expanding its partnership with ZTE,
particularly as they are well positioned to capture a
disproportionate share of the smart phone segment in emerging
markets such as China, India and Latin America,” said Bradley C.
Byk, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Skyworks. “These
markets are predicted to deliver the greatest number of wireless
customers in the coming years. Skyworks is pleased to be playing a
key role in this upgrade cycle that will enable greater mobility
and wireless connectivity for consumers around the world.”
