RFMD surpasses 1 billion power amplifiers shipped to China-based manufacturers

RF Micro Devices Inc of Greensboro, NC, USA says that it has shipped over 1 billion cellular power amplifiers (PAs) to handset makers headquartered in the Greater China area. The firm says that the milestone demonstrates its ongoing commitment to providing China-based customers with operational scale, technological innovation and what it claims is an industry-leading cost structure.

RFMD opened its first manufacturing facility in Beijing in 2002 in support of local China-based manufacturers and international manufacturers with operations in China. In 2007 it opened its Shanghai Design Center and a major expansion of its Beijing facility. The firm says that it now offers a complete end-to-end source for design, manufacturing, field applications engineering and sales support, with about 2000 employees in China supporting hundreds of customers and baseband providers.

“This considerable milestone exemplifies RFMD’s long-standing commitment to our customers based in China,” says president & CEO Bob Bruggeworth. “As we commemorate our tenth year of operations in Greater China, we anticipate strong growth with China-based customers, driven by continued innovation in 2G components and the industry’s most innovative and most reliable RF product portfolio for the rapidly growing 3G and TD-SCDMA/TD-LTE smartphone markets,” he adds.
