Empowering Revolutionary 5G Global
Communications
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today introduced Sky5™, its suite of solutions that will
support 5G wireless communications and enable a multitude of new
and previously unimagined applications across mobile and Internet
of Things (IoT) ecosystems. With decades of experience in
developing innovative connectivity platforms for each previous
generation of wireless standards, Skyworks is leveraging its vast
technology portfolio, systems expertise, leadership scale and
strong customer relationships to accelerate the deployment of 5G.
More specifically, Skyworks’ Sky5™ solutions encompass its highly
innovative transmit and receive systems targeting the world’s most

“Today Skyworks introduces our breakthrough Sky5™ platform,
enabling the next-generation of wireless communications,” said Liam
K. Griffin, president and chief executive officer of Skyworks. “5G
is a macro-economic game changer that will revolutionize the global
communication landscape with significantly more powerful and
complex connectivity engines. As a leader in unwiring the planet,
Skyworks is well-positioned to capitalize on the demand for robust
and dramatically increased data transmission speeds with near zero
latency ─ key features that are mission critical in powering new
usage cases from autonomous vehicles to emerging segments in
artificial intelligence, robotics and virtual reality. Our Sky5™
solutions will address new 5G waveforms and spectrum, enhanced
carrier aggregation, dual connectivity (4G/5G) and massive MIMO
requirements while delivering unmatched levels of integration and
performance, all underpinned by Skyworks’ intellectual property,
operational scale and financial strength.”
According to a May 2017 Research and Markets report, the very
first standardized deployments of the technology are expected to be
commercialized as early as 2019, with the 3GPP’s standards
organization initial 5G specifications set to be
implementation-ready by March 2018. Between 2019 and 2025, the 5G
network infrastructure market is expected to aggressively grow at a
compounded annual growth rate of nearly 70 percent, eventually
accounting for $28 billion in annual spending by the end of
2025.
What is 5G?
5G is the term used to describe the next generation of mobile
communications beyond today’s 4G LTE standard. It embraces a
revolutionary paradigm shift in wireless networking and will
support groundbreaking throughput speeds (up to 100x faster than
4G), low latency and scalability for future usage cases that
require extreme bandwidth including autonomous vehicles, augmented
reality and the billions of machine-to-machine and IoT connections.
To put this in perspective, according to Intel, by 2020 a single
autonomous car is expected to consume 4,000 gigabytes of data per
day in real-time diagnostics, positioning and vehicle to vehicle
communications – that’s equivalent to the daily data consumed by
more than 2,000 smartphone users in 2017. Downloading a full-length
HD movie in 3G took one day, in 4G, the same file took minutes. On
a 5G network, this content will be downloaded in mere seconds.
5G networks are expected to utilize a variety of spectrum bands
ranging from established sub-6 GHz cellular bands to millimeter
wave frequencies. The 3GPP organization is the mobile industry
standards group that will submit a proposed specification to the
International Telecommunications Union, or the standards body that
sets the final specification. Skyworks is a key contributor to the
3GPP body on the Radio Access Network (RAN4) technical
specifications.
