performance, better colour quality and greater reliability allow us to provide a much more consistent and enhanced shopping experience for our customers.”
“In addition to dramatically enhancing the curb appeal for the dealership’s auto inventory, we elected to install Cree LED luminaires for the significant savings on energy costs and maintenance,” adds Mike Ward, president and owner, Mike Ward Infiniti.
“Gone are the high costs and disruptions associated with relamping our old metal halide fixtures. The Cree solution is highly reliable which means we shouldn’t need to touch them again for more than a decade. And the improved colour quality compared to metal halide really makes a difference. Now our cars always look great, day or night.”

Skyworks upgrades revenues to $420 million for Q4 2012
The RF innovator of high performance analogue semiconductors has also updated its Non-GAAP Diluted EPS to $0.52
Skyworks Solutions has updated its financial outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 given strong program ramps across its analogue and mobile Internet businesses and continued operating leverage within its business model.

GaAs device revenue reaches new heights
Although 2011 revenues hit a record $5.2 billion, growth is expected to slow down in the future
According to Strategy Analytics, a fast start to 2011 allowed the GaAs device market to withstand a slowdown toward the end of the year and post record revenue for 2011.
Continuing growth in demand for handset power amplifiers offset ongoing uncertainty in the global economy to propel the market to growth from last year’s value. The market research firm’s most recent report, “GaAs Industry Forecast: 2011-2016”, reports the overall GaAs device market grew by roughly 6 percent to close 2011 with slightly more than $5.2 billion of revenue.
The report also forecasts that slowing smartphone growth and an uncertain global economy will limit future growth rates below historical averages and the market will reach slightly more than $6.1 billion in 2016.
“The GaAs market began the year with strong growth”, notes Eric Higham, Director of the Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs). “Toward the end of the year, slowing growth in the smartphone segment and uncertainty in the global economy became the overriding trends and the overall GaAs device market slowed substantially. The underlying trends in the GaAs market still support growth, but uncertainty in the economy is likely to limit this growth.”
Asif Anwar, Director in the Strategy Analytics Strategic Technologies Practice adds, “We remain convinced that data consumption and GaAs content in handsets will increase, but fluctuations in the global economy will put a damper on network and consumer spending.”
