Skyworks Supports Samsung’s Newest Femtocell Offering

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high
reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad
range of end markets, today announced that Samsung is leveraging
several of its solutions for its newest femtocell offering,
including Verizon’s Wireless Network Extender. Samsung’s latest
offering, the new code division multiple access (CDMA)
plug-and-play personal base station, or femtocell, for homes or
small offices, provides customers with enhanced cellular coverage,
helping to eliminate “dead spots”. It also reduces the need for a
landline given its ability to manage up to three calls
simultaneously with a fourth channel reserved for emergency 911
calls.
Femtocell base stations improve 3G cell phone coverage inside
buildings or homes by working with users’ existing 3G mobile phones
to provide secure, cellular service over existing broadband
networks. Acting as a wireless router, the femtocell provides
access to the cell phone carrier's network for multiple devices
within a building. With some carrier networks straining to keep up
with the demands of increasing numbers of users surfing the Web
from their smart phones, femtocells are being viewed as a
cost-efficient means to improve the quality of service by making
more bandwidth available to support data and video
applications.
According to a March 2010 iSuppli study, femtocells are “headed
toward critical mass among all major nodes of the wireless supply
chain and will vault into explosive growth after reaching a
decisive watershed this year.” In April 2010, Infonetics Research
estimated that femtocell shipments would top 2.5 million units in
2011 and that sales of fixed mobile convergence devices and
femtocells would grow at an 86 percent compound annual growth rate
from 2009 to 2014.
“Skyworks is delighted to be supporting Samsung with our full
suite of femtocell solutions,” said Liam K. Griffin, senior vice
president of sales and marketing at Skyworks. “Our highly
integrated dual band transceiver chipset enables femtocell
designers to develop cost-effective, high-performance
RF-to-baseband solutions, meeting the growing demand for network
capacity driven by the mobile Internet phenomenon.”

RF matching circuits. Both devices include internal power detection
and operate from a single 5 volt (V) supply and can be shut down
via a control pin. Designed specifically for femtocell
applications, the devices provide ACPR
