ANADIGICS' HELP3E(TM) Dual-Band Power Amplifiers Enable Sierra Wireless' 4G AirPrime MC7700, AirPrime MC7710, and AirPrime MC7750 Wireless Modules
Warren, NJ - ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a world leader in radio frequency (RF) and mixed signal semiconductor solutions, today announced that the Company is shipping production volumes of its third generation High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP3E(TM)) dual-band power amplifiers (PAs) to Sierra Wireless. Sierra Wireless' AirPrime MC7700 and MC7750 embedded modules are powered by ANADIGICS' AWU6615. The AirPrime MC7710 is enabled by the AWU6618.
"Our AirPrime MC Series embedded modules help our customers take full advantage of new 4G network technologies," said Dan Schieler, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Mobile Computing for Sierra Wireless. "With unprecedented throughput, these modules open up new opportunities for mobile computing, multimedia, and HD video applications. The superior performance and reliability of ANADIGICS' HELP3E(TM) power amplifiers play a critical role in our AirPrime MC series and support our efforts to deliver superior network 3G and 4G connectivity."
"ANADIGICS is proud to be a part of the Sierra Wireless success story," said Michael Canonico, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at ANADIGICS. "The AirPrime MC series unleashes the full potential of mobile devices by leveraging the latest 3G and 4G technologies. Our strong portfolio of industry-leading power amplifiers, high-volume manufacturing prowess, and exceptional quality enable ANADIGICS to contribute to the development of current generation and next generation mobile platforms."
