TriQuint announces new 4G filter technology
A new 4G filter technology has been launched by TriQuint Semiconductor.
TriQuint Semiconductor has launched a new range of highly-selective WiFi/WiMax RF bulk acoustic wave (BAW) 4G filters.
The manufacturer noted that the products allow mobile devices to act as portable wireless local area network hotspots, while simultaneously enabling connection to 4G WiMaX networks.
According to the company, this means users will benefit from broadband access that is up to ten times quicker than traditional 3G systems.
Vice-president Brian Balut said the filtering technology is becoming increasingly important in the 4G WiMaX market.
He remarked: "The flexibility to access WiMAX networks with an existing 3G smartphone or WiFi laptop gives consumers 4G access while extending the lifetime of their existing mobile device."
Mr Balut added that this is "transformational technology" for the industry, allowing maximum flexibility to users.
TriQuint describes itself as a leader in market diversity for the design, development and manufacture of high-end RF solutions with gallium arsenide and gallium nitride expertise.
