Anadigics rejoices 25th Anniversary
Anadigics , founded by Ron Rosenzweig, George Gilbert and Charles Huang in Warren, New Jersey in 1985 specializes in mobile communications.
Currently focused on 4G technologies, Anadigics is delivering advanced RF ICs for wireless communications. The company also delivers the latest technology for broadband and CATV.
"Reaching a silver anniversary is a significant milestone for any technology company, and we take tremendous pride in the innovations we've brought to market over the years," said Mario Rivas, President and CEO.
"It's an exciting time to be part of the communications industry. Our customers continue to raise the bar in terms of product innovation, new applications, and high speed, reliable connectivity, and we will continue to rise to the occasion, delivering quality products to market with the right performance at the right time."
Not long after the company was formed in 1985, it started manufacturing 3-inch GaAs wafers for use in radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) designed for military applications, direct satellite broadcasting and the cable television market.
In 1993, Anadigics became the first GaAs IC manufacturer to achieve ISO certification (ISO9001) and became a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ stock market (as ANAD) two years later.
In 1997, the firm produced the first commercial dual-band, dual-model GaAs power amplifier for the cellular and PCS market.
The year 1999 was particularly good for Anadigics, with the launch of the world’s first 6-inch analog GaAs wafer fab in its HQ, Warren, New Jersey. The company also developed the first InGaP HBT on 6-inch GaAs for use in cellular phones.
Further development of HBTs were recognized in 2004 with the development of "InGaP-Plus", claimed to be the world’s first ‘low-cost’ Gallium Arsenide-based BiFET (Bipolar Field Effect Transistor) process that monolithically integrates two types of transistors on the same chipset. This development was said to enable high volume production of commercial Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) at a minimum cost.
The company will host a conference call with analysts to discuss Q1 2010 Financial Results and Q2 2010 Business Outlook on April 26, 2010 at 5:00 pm Eastern time.
