Company is Poised to Scale Aggressively Across
Broader Markets and Applications
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS), an innovator of
high-performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places
and things, today announced that the Company has reached a
milestone with the shipment of over 150 million bulk acoustic wave
(BAW) filter-enabled modules for 5G mobile solutions.
To prepare for the transition to 5G, Skyworks has focused
efforts on the development of advanced in-house BAW technology
which is supported through its design teams, fabs and proprietary
IP.
As noted by a recent GSM Arena[1] article and
according to Strategy Analytics[2], 5G smartphones
are expected to take up a much larger portion of global shipments
this year, growing more than tenfold to an estimated 15 percent of
all smartphone shipments, up from just 1 percent in 2019.
Our BAW technology expands the reach across the Skyworks product
portfolio and represents the culmination of years-long investment
from which the Company has secured multiple design wins with market
leading customers. In addition, Skyworks will leverage BAW
technology across our broad portfolio bringing even greater value
to customers.
“This key achievement marks the success of our long-term
investment, commitment and strategy as a company – driving towards
world-class BAW technology and performance,” said Joel King, senior
vice president and general manager of Mobile Solutions at Skyworks.
“Coupled with our industry-leading TC-SAW capabilities, the
addition of high-performance BAW delivers to our customers a truly
differentiated RF front-end solution, with an architecture that
aggressively scales across other platforms.”
Skyworks’ high-reliability, field-proven 8-inch BAW filter
production line supports the challenging needs driven by the growth
in 5G, adoption of Wi-Fi 6E and the expansion of filters required
in next-generation smartphones, IoT devices and automotive
applications. The technical merits of our solutions will further
enhance RF performance and efficiency enabling 5G devices with
superior connectivity and battery life.
