Skyworks
Solutions, a provider of analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a
broad range of end markets, announced it is supporting ZTE’s next generation
tablets and laptops with EDGE and WCDMA/LTE front-end solutions.
Skyworks’
modules are powering data cards and USB modems to help deliver greater mobility
for tablet users that are equipped with cellular connectivity.
Skyworks is
broadening its relationship with ZTE. ZTE leverages several of Skyworks’
TD-SCDMA and CDMA solutions for handsets and will soon utilize Skyworks’
antenna switch modules in several forthcoming smart phone platforms.
According to
both IDC and Strategy Analytics, independent market research firms, ZTE was
ranked as the fifth largest global handset maker in the second quarter of 2011,
growing both its unit shipments and market share.
Skyworks is
delighted to be expanding its partnership with ZTE, particularly as they are
well positioned to capture a disproportionate share of the smart phone segment
in emerging markets such as China, India and Latin America,” said Bradley C.
Byk, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Skyworks.
These
markets are predicted to deliver the greatest number of wireless customers in
the coming years. Skyworks is pleased to be playing a key role in this upgrade
cycle that will enable greater mobility and wireless connectivity for consumers
around the world,” Byk added.
