Skyworks Components Featured in Chinese Handsets

Skyworks Solutions says that two leading Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have introduced new handset models based on its GSM/GPRS cellular system solution. Available now in China, these new phones highlight advanced features such as GPRS Class 8 Web browsing, dual LCD screens with 65K color internal displays, 40 tone polyphonic melodies and attractive clamshell designs.

"We are extremely pleased that our complete GSM/GPRS cellular system solution is supporting two of China's largest domestic handset manufacturers and is serving as the foundation from which they can develop numerous future wireless platforms," said Murthy Renduchintala, Skyworks' vice president of cellular systems.

"Based on their successful handset launches and current design activity, we expect these two customers to represent more than $20 million in additional Skyworks revenue this year. At the same time, these key relationships further diversify our customer base and increase our penetration in China, the world's most significant GSM/GPRS market."
