Optimizing Modem and Connectivity for Next
Generation Applications
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, and Intel Corporation today announced they are creating
leading-edge 5G communications engines for a broad array of end
markets. Leveraging Intel’s modem expertise and Skyworks’
innovative connectivity portfolio, the new platforms will deliver a
highly integrated and optimized suite of wireless system solutions
available for the open market.
Initial modem-to-antenna products will support LTE and 5G
architectures for mobile, wearable, automotive, M2M, tablet/PC,
smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, facilitating
faster data rates, enhanced power efficiency and unprecedented
product footprints. Specifically, the Skyworks-Intel designs will
offer devices that take full advantage of the unique features and
capabilities of Intel’s modems, transceivers, power management and
envelope tracking chips, while also driving new features to enhance
front-end performance.
“Together with Intel, we are pushing the performance envelope,
accelerating next generation mobile applications and services,”
said Joel King, senior vice president and general manager of Mobile
Solutions at Skyworks. “This effort demonstrates how Skyworks can
fully leverage our front-ends to further enhance modem capability
and capitalize on boundless 5G opportunities.”
“Our highly synergistic effort with Skyworks to deploy
breakthrough system-level, co-optimized solutions is emblematic of
Intel’s ambitious vision for 5G,” said Dr. Cormac Conroy, corporate
vice president and general manager of the Communication and Devices
Group at Intel Corporation. “Together with Skyworks’ technology
leadership in RF, comprehensive product portfolio and world class
scale, we are reimagining the future of wireless and taking a major
leap forward in making fully optimized 5G solutions available for
billions of people and networked devices around the world.”
