Leading semi-conductor manufacturer
Anadigics, Inc. (ANAD) recently shipped production
volumes of AWC6340 HELP (High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power) power
amplifier to Huawei for the new Ascend P6 ultra-slim smartphone.
With continuous launch of such new products, Anadigics expects to
offset the decline in its legacy business and thereby stem the tide
of losses experienced over the past few quarters.
The new power amplifiers offer unmatched efficacy by combining high
gain and linearity for seamless transmission of high definition
(HD) videos at extended ranges with voice clarity and unmatched
high-speed data. In addition, the product also has greater
integration capabilities compared to other variants available in
the market, which in turn reduces the requirement for other
external components to save valuable printed circuit board (PCB)
space.
The power amplifier would extend smartphone’s battery life by
leveraging Anadigics’ patented InGaP-Plus technology that offers
higher efficiency at low and high power levels and minimizes
quiescent current. The new product further reinforces the long-term
business relationship with Huawei and extends Anadigics’ client
portfolio.
Headquartered in Warren, N.J, Anadigics designs and manufactures
semiconductor solutions for the broadband wireless and wireline
communications markets. Its products include power amplifiers,
tuner integrated circuits, active splitters, line amplifiers, and
other components. Anadigics is well positioned in three
fast-growing markets: 3G, WiFi and CATV (cable television). In
addition, the company is increasing its product content in markets
where multiple power amplifiers and multiple tuner integrated
circuits are needed.
Anadigics continues to focus on three market drivers that it
believes will expand its market. These drivers include the rapid
adoption of 3G and 4G data connectivity in wireless mobile devices,
expansion of wireless and CATV infrastructure to support higher
data usage and proliferation of high performance WiFi connectivity
in mobile devices. Incremental demand for wireless connectivity in
consumer devices, including smartphones and tablets, provide
substantial growth opportunities for Anadigics. The company’s new
ProEficient singleband and dual-band power amplifiers, Multimode
Multiband Power Amplifiers and WiFi should also fuel revenue growth
in the coming quarters.
Anadigics currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Other companies in
the industry worth mentioning include Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc. (AMD), Diodes Incorporated
(DIOD) and Integrated Device Technology, Inc.
(IDTI), each carrying a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
