Skyworks’ FEMs and PAs support Samsung’s latest GPRS, EDGE and 3G handsets

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA, which manufactures linear products, power amplifiers, front-end modules and radio solutions for handset and infrastructure equipment, says that Samsung is leveraging its front-end modules (FEM) and power amplifiers (PA) in its latest mobile handsets for general packet radio service (GPRS), enhanced data GSM management (EDGE), and 3G (in particular, UMTS).

Skyworks is also partnering with a broader set of base-band suppliers such as Qualcomm, Broadcom, Infineon and NXP to provide highly integrated front-end solutions for tier-one mobile handset manufacturers such as Samsung.

Samsung is using Skyworks’ FEMs and PAs in its latest B3030, B320 and S7330 models. Optimized features include Bluetooth, USB, web browsing, camera, gaming and messaging functionality – included in ultra-compact devices with talk times of up to 7 hours.

“Our front-end module and power amplifier participation in their newest models is a reflection of yet another multimode design-win and increasing market share gains at Samsung and other OEMs,” says Liam K. Griffin, senior VP of sales & marketing.
