TriQuint appoints new distributor in China for mobile RF solutions

RF front-end component maker and foundry services provider TriQuint Semiconductor Inc of Hillsboro, OR, USA has appointed Shenzhen-based Upstar Technology - one of the fastest-growing providers of electronic components and solutions in China, with offices in Shanghai and Beijing - as its new distributor of mobile products in the country.

Upstar provides OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), ODMs (original design manufacturers) and EMS (electronics manufacturing services) in China with a wide range of electronic components. With this new partnership, TriQuint’s customers in China now have an expanded channel to access the firm’s RF solutions for mobile products.

“Upstar’s LTE focus and mobile-centric product line mesh well with TriQuint’s overall business strategy for China,” says Todd DeBonis, TriQuint’s VP of global sales and strategic development. “Upstar will provide our customers better access to TriQuint’s innovative RF technology, and will help fuel our growth initiatives. “Thanks to its strong sales and design support teams, Upstar has earned an excellent reputation for working closely with global partners and customers to address their unique requirements,” he adds.

“We look forward to partnering closely with TriQuint to deliver the benefits of its RF innovations to customers throughout our fast-growing region,” says Upstar’s acting general manager Richard Lo.

China is the world’s largest wireless communications market, with growth driven by rapid consumer adoption of mobile devices and accelerating build-outs of LTE networks. TriQuint says that it has captured numerous design wins in China for leading smartphones and has also been selected for reference designs by multiple global and regional chipset partners.
