ANADIGICS Ships to Samsung

ANADIGICS, Inc. (ANAD - Analyst Report) recently announced that it will ship volume production of its AWC6323 dual-band High-Efficiency-at-Lower-Power (HELP3E™) power amplifiers (PAs) to Samsung Electronics for the Droid Charge smartphone.

Based in New Jersey, ANADIGICS designs and manufactures semiconductor solutions for the broadband wireless and wireline communications markets.  Its products include power amplifiers, tuner integrated circuits, active splitters, line amplifiers, and other components.

Management at ANADIGICS stated that the Samsung Droid Charge raises the bar for 4G Android smartphones by delivering an exceptional multimedia experience.

ANADIGICS has forged a strong relationship with Samsung Electronics by providing power amplifiers with industry-leading efficiency, linearity, and integration and the company is now looking forward to supporting Samsung through each successive generation of mobile connectivity.

ANADIGICS lost significant market share (primarily at Samsung) in late 2008 – early 2009, as it was not able to meet increased demand from customers, which made them look for other sources of supply.

ANADIGICS’ strategy is to forge close partnerships with industry-leading chipset providers and Tier-1 customers. Such relationships should lead to future growth and market share gains.

Earlier, ANADIGICS announced that the company is shipping production volumes of its AWT6521 multi-mode power amplifier (PA) for the Qualcomm Gobi™3000 module. This new multi-mode power amplifier supports WCDMA/ HSPA+ and CDMA/EVDO in frequency bands used by operators on a worldwide basis. This, in turn, will provide users with more choice in carrier networks and the freedom to go without fear of losing connectivity.

The continued expanded high demand of wireless connectivity in a growing number of consumer devices, including smart phones, datacards, netbooks, notebooks and tablets, provide substantial opportunities for growth to ANADIGICS.
