A recent study from In-Stat market research predicted strong growth in 3G data services and cellular modem deployments, with shipments already reaching 20 million units in 2008. The study claims that two big trends are the move in form factor to USB modems and the growing emphasis on embedded modems, led by Ericsson and Qualcomm. Embedded shipments are expected to overtake external modem shipments by the end of 2011.
"Lack of global connectivity and multi-operator compatibility has been a major barrier to widespread adoption of embedded 3G modules in notebook computers. The new generation of embedded modules offer a breakthrough solution for global 3G broadband connectivity beyond WiFi for note-book and net-book computers," says Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of RF Products at ANADIGICS, Inc. "The adoption of the new HELP3™ WCDMA/HSPA power amplifiers for these modules expands ANADIGICS' 3G market share into notebook and net-book computers."
The three ANADIGICS WCDMA/HSPA power amplifiers being shipped enable operation in the IMT, PCS, and Cellular bands for this embedded module. These devices are differentiated by their linearity and efficiency which are all necessary for a highly satisfying broadband mobile experience for consumers. Each PA incorporates ANADIGICS' proprietary third-generation high-efficiency-at-low-power (HELP3™) technology, which reduces average current consumption by as much as 75%, compared to a conventional PA device. Additionally, ANADIGICS' InGaP-Plus™ technology ensures the devices deliver state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness.
