Conexant supplies CDMA power amplifiers to Chinese handset manufacturers
These design wins represent 70 percent of the manufacturers approved by the Chinese government. They will be operating on the China United Communications Corp. s (China Unicom) recently launched nationwide CDMA cellular network. The network is expected to support approximately 15 million subscribers by the end of 2002, growing to 50 million subscribers by 2005.
"We re proud that our power amplifiers have been selected by the majority of handset providers for the China Unicom network, said Moiz Beguwala, senior vice president and general manager of Conexant s Wireless Communications Division.
"Conexant s history in power amplifiers is marked by a number of industry firsts, and it is an honor to have earned the distinction of being the primary supplier of CDMA power amplifier modules for the launch of the China s nationwide CDMA network.
Conexant is the world s largest supplier of CDMA power amplifier modules, and continues to lead the market in efficiency and linearity. The company s history in power amplifiers dates back to 1996, when the company commenced high-volume shipments supporting multi-band, multi-mode, digital wireless applications. Conexant was also the first to introduce high-volume, laminate-based power amplifier modules used in GSM and TDMA applications. Today, virtually all of Conexant s PA solutions are implemented in modules.
