with its SR3100 HSPA/WCDMA Radio Frequency ("RF") chip. Spreadtrum
is the leading Chinese fabless semiconductor provider with advanced
technology in both 2G and 3G wireless communications standards.
Spreadtrum's QS520 GSM/GPRS and QS1001 EDGE transceivers have
been used for Samsung's mobiles since 2009. With the adoption of
the SR3100 HSPA/WCDMA RF transceiver, now in full production,
Samsung further signifies the confidence it has placed in
Spreadtrum.
"We are honored to be selected by Samsung as a WCDMA RF chip
supplier." said Dr. Leo Li,

both now and in the future. Spreadtrum greatly benefits from the
close relationship we have with Samsung, and it will definitely
lead us to the right direction."
Spreadtrum's SR3100, a highly integrated single-die radio
transceiver chip, is among the most advanced products in the
