digital step attenuators and the RFSA2013 and RF2023 voltage controlled attenuators, optimised for cellular 3G/4G/LTE and WiMAX markets and RFMD’s integrated multi-chip modules for wireless infrastructure applications will also be demonstrated.

Additionally, RFMD will introduce its 2011- 2012 Product Selection Guide, which features specifications for over 900 products including over 90 recently released products targeting multiple end-market applications. The new 63-page guide allows customers to cross-reference and search products using end market application diagrams.

RFMD employees presenting papers, chairing sessions and hosting proceedings at the Symposium will represent the Company’s Broadband Components, Defence and Power, Wireless Connectivity, Wireless Products, and Foundry Services business units.

GaAs RF device revenue to top $300 million

Strategy Analytics’ latest report says that as operators deploy more base stations to handle the data increase, wireless point-to-point radios are becoming a very attractive option to backhaul the data from the edge to the core of the network.

Rapidly increasing mobile data use by consumers and businesses will fuel growth in wireless point-to- point radios.

The recently released Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs) Data Model, “Wireless Point-to-Point Radio Component Demand,” forecasts that wireless point- to-point radios, used to backhaul mobile data, will grow from nearly 1.4 million in 2010 to slightly more than 2 million in 2015. This growth in demand will account for $300 million of GaAs device revenue in 2015.

Strategy Analytics also forecasts that the Asia- Pacific region will account for slightly more than 50 % of wireless point-to-point radio shipments over this period. This Strategy Analytics analysis indicates strong growth for point-to-point radios above 60 GHz, but this segment will account for
