Skyworks Ramps SkyOne® Mini for LTE Smartphones


Skyworks Solutions (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today announced that its SkyOne® Mini front-end solution is enabling several new smartphone launches. SkyOne® Mini, a derivative of the SkyOne® platform, specifically addresses the growing demand for value and performance oriented solutions in the LTE (News - Alert) market by delivering the full functionality of the highly integrated SkyOne® devices but at a reduced cost and size.

"SkyOne® Mini capitalizes on the requirements by OEMs for highly integrated solutions that offer a smaller footprint and lower bill of materials," said Carlos Bori, vice president of marketing for Skyworks. "Our SkyOne® Mini devices support multiple chipsets without the need to change the front-end, creating a simple, flexible approach that delivers significant cost and time to market advantages."

According to a June 2014 Ericsson Mobility Report called "On the Pulse (News - Alert) of the Networked Society," LTE is one of the fastest growing segments and is being deployed in all regions of the world. Subscriptions for this technology are predicted to reach 2.6 billion by 2019, representing around 30 percent of total mobile subscriptions.
