RF Micro Devices has shipped its 100 millionth POLARIS TOTAL RADIO RF solution to a leading handset manufacturer.
"The milestone of our 100 millionth POLARIS RF solution comes approximately three years after we began shipments of our first cellular RF solution, POLARIS 1. This achievement is especially gratifying as it occurs concurrently with the production ramp of our newest RF solution, POLARIS 3, which we forecast will extend multiple years and support meaningful revenue and earnings growth for RFMD. In fact, based on current customer forecasts for our POLARIS 2 and POLARIS 3 RF solutions, we expect the next 100 million POLARIS shipments will happen significantly faster than the first 100 million," said Bob Bruggeworth, President and CEO of RFMD.
RFMD’s POLARIS RF solutions include the power amplifier, switch, filter, DC-to-DC converter, transceiver and other functions critical to the performance of the cellular handset. Production volumes of POLARIS 3 are expected to increase sequentially throughout calendar year 2008.
