Skyworks Introduces Next Generation Wi-Fi Solutions

Skyworks Solutions (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today expanded its world-class mobile connectivity product portfolio with the addition of several new wireless networking solutions. Skyworks' newest modules leverage innovative and proprietary design techniques to extend the range of connected devices and improve overall system performance - in a much smaller footprint when compared to alternative options available in the market today. According to Cisco (News - Alert) VNI Mobile, smartphones and phablets are expected to comprise nearly 50 percent of all global devices by 2020, with more than half of all traffic from these platforms being offloaded to fixed networks by Wi-Fi. As a result, OEMs are seeking high performance solutions that can manage this amount of data and deliver a seamless consumer experience.
