TriQuint Semiconductor is enabling network operators to more efficiently and economically meet the growing demand for broadband services with new solutions for cable systems, microwave radio and optical networks.
“Network operators are seeing substantial increases in radio, optical and cable network traffic because of the growing popularity of home and mobile data applications. Operators are looking for cost-effective ways to expand capacity while lowering operational expenses. Greener, more efficient systems that use less energy for amplification and cooling are especially appealing,” observed Asif Anwar, Director, GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service, Strategy Analytics. “TriQuint GaAs-based products are inherently more efficient and offer high linearity for those applications that require it. This places TriQuint in good position to take advantage of a projected 10 percent CAGR for point-to-point radio products and a cable infrastructure CAGR of 14 percent through 2013. The fiber optic IC market CAGR should more than double during this period while the emerging 40Gbps segment will lead growth with a projected 78 percent CAGR through 2013.”
TriQuint devices enable smaller, more efficient amplifiers, radios and other key network infrastructure that help operators lower overall system costs. TriQuint also helps operators and manufacturers through an ever-expanding product portfolio of high frequency and broadband devices. TriQuint recently acquired cable TV and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) RFIC expert TriAccess Technologies, which offers a "triple-play" line-up of highly linear amplifiers with low power consumption for internet-video-voice services. Demand for TriAccess products has doubled as cable and telecom companies race to enhance networks for high-speed multimedia content delivery.
New TriQuint RFIC products developed by TriAccess Technologies specifically meet the requirements of DOCSIS 3.0 based cable TV systems. These "greener" products can reduce power consumption up to 50 percent and can cut overall PC board areas up to 30 percent. The TAT7464, TAT7466, TAT7467 and TAT7472 provide a complete set of options for power-efficient designs.
TriQuint’s new TGA2807-SM is another DOCSIS 3.0 cable TV amplifier that can replace two conventional solutions. The TGA2807-SM can operate at significantly reduced power while meeting DOCSIS requirements, enabling video-on-demand, two-way data traffic and other emerging services through cable networks.
TriQuint is advancing 3G/4G wireless network infrastructure with microwave radio backhaul amplifiers including its TGA4531. The new amplifier does the work of two narrowband devices, covering the critical 17-24GHz frequency range with a single device. Highly linear, the TGA4531 enables manufacturers to meet complex modulation requirements while reducing their overall bill of materials.
The lower-frequency needs of microwave radio designers are being met with TriQuint’s new TGA2706-SM. A surface mount device, the highly linear TGA2706-SM offers easy assembly while supporting the complex modulation schemes typical of 3G/4G networks.
TriQuint enables high-speed optical networks with products like its TGA4943-SL—the market’s first surface mount amplifier for 40Gbps (gigabit per second) systems. In addition to offering surface mount convenience for easier assembly, the TGA4943-SL uses only about 50 percent the power of other solutions – just 2.1W.
TriQuint was recently chosen by Huawei Technologies as a strategic partner for new optical network system development based on the strength of its technology and TriQuint’s portfolio of green products that significantly reduce power usage.
