TriQuint Expands Support of Optical Markets with New Transimpedance Amplifier Family

Meet TriQuint at OFC/NFOEC in Anaheim, CA, March 19-21, Booth 2127

ANAHEIM, Calif. & RICHARDSON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (NAS: TQNT) , a leading RF products manufacturer and foundry services provider, has expanded its optical infrastructure portfolio with five new transimpedance amplifiers (TIA), enabling the company to now serve both transmit and receive portions of high performance optical networks. The new product family complements TriQuint’s industry-leading modulator driver portfolio for 10, 40, 100 Gb/s and next-generation 200G/400G systems.

TriQuint’s new TIAs offer performance benefits tailored to key design requirements that support 40G, 100G and emerging optical systems. TriQuint’s new products are part of a recent technology acquisition from Micram Microelectronic GmbH.

“This new amplifier family perfectly complements our optical modulator drivers. We’re sampling next-generation products and receiving positive feedback from numerous customers,” said James L. Klein, TriQuint Vice President and General Manager for Infrastructure and Defense Products. “Our new TIA family serves today’s fastest networks as well as the higher modulation needs of future optical broadband systems.”

The continual worldwide growth in smartphone and tablet data traffic as well as other broadband mobile devices is driving global network capacity expansion. Optical networks remain the most economical means for long-distance, high-speed data transfers across wired and mobile device networks. Infonetics Research commented recently that the global optical market is expected to grow in 2013, with expansion primarily in North America, China, Europe and the Middle East.

“Our conversations with equipment providers continue to trend positive, particularly in North America where 100G spending is about to ramp…Meanwhile, there are positive rumbles in the EMEA region; preliminary results show that 2013 will be a huge year for 100G in China; China is about half of the global 40G WDM market,” said Infonetics Principal Optical Analyst, Andrew Schmitt, in a February 2013 report.

TriQuint’s first TIA release includes five new silicon germanium (SiGe) amplifiers for use in optical networks ranging from very-short-reach to metro- and long-haul. The products are announced in conjunction with the OFC/NFOEC conference and exposition in Anaheim, CA (March 19-21) and complement TriQuint’s wide selection of surface-mount optical modulator drivers. See our optical experts in Booth 2127, or contact TriQuint to arrange a meeting.

TriQuint’s new TIAs, the TGA4864, TGA4861, TGA4866, TIA56 and TIA56A, offer a broad array …read more

Infonetics: LTE Market Nearly Doubling in 2013

CAMPBELL, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 4th quarter 2012 (4Q12) and year-end 2G, 3G, 4G Mobile Infrastructure and Subscribers report, which tracks 2G, 3G, LTE, and WiMAX network equipment and subscribers.

ANALYST NOTE

“The U.S., Japan, and South Korea have been fueling the engine with LTE, but weak activity in BRIC countries dragged the overall mobile infrastructure market in 2012,” notes Stéphane Téral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research. “The good news, though, is that this year BRIC is coming back with some serious LTE spending.”

Téral adds: “We’re forecasting the LTE market to almost double in 2013, easily passing the $10-billion mark for the first time. Operators are in the midst of a second wave of LTE deployments, and LTE-Advanced is gearing for true 4G prime time, with NTT DOCOMO, SK telecom, and likely Russia’s Yota all planning launches this year.”

MOBILE INFRASTRUCTURE MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

  • The global mobile infrastructure market—including 2G/3G, LTE, and WiMAX—rose 6% sequentially in 4Q12, to $10.8 billion, driven by North America, China, and sustained modernization projects in Europe
  • LTE revenue grew 115% in 2012 from 2011, fueled by an onslaught of new deployments worldwide paired with the existing strong markets of Japan, North America, and South Korea
  • The GSA reports that 145 commercial LTE networks have been launched in 66 countries as of January 2013
  • Ericsson maintains its lead in the LTE infrastructure market, though Nokia Siemens Networks is closing the gap as of the 4th quarter; meanwhile Alcatel-Lucent is #2 for the full year 2012 and posted its best LTE quarter to date in 4Q12
  • Subscriber growth is driving the mobile infrastructure market: wireless subscribers hit 6 billion in 2012 and are expected to reach 7 billion by 2017, including 569 million LTE subscribers
