WOBURN, Mass.-Alpha Industries Inc. reported it is shipping record numbers of its advanced gallium arsenide radio-frequency integrated circuit switches and GaAs power amplifiers under a new contract with an unnamed U.S. wireless handset manufacturer.
“Alpha is growing its business at its largest customer. Our success with this customer and with other major handset manufacturers is built on our innovative products and our intense focus on their needs,” said Chris Conlin, director of worldwide sales at Alpha. “The new contract substantially increases our share in RF IC switches and power amplifiers, compared with last year’s contract. In particular, it provides us with an increase of 40 percent in market share for the RF IC switches that our customer uses in its wireless handsets, and we are shipping increasing volumes of our GaAs power amplifiers into their fastest-selling handsets.”
