Skyworks Captures Strategic Helios Design Win at MediaTek

Skyworks Solutions, Inc., announced that MediaTek, Inc., a leading supplier of worldwide consumer IC chipsets, would be incorporating Skyworks’ Helios radio across several next-generation EDGE wireless communication platforms. This agreement demonstrates Skyworks’ ability to effectively partner with a leading system solution provider following the company’s exit of the baseband business announced earlier.

Skyworks’ Helios EDGE radio significantly reduces radio frequency (RF) board space, enabling the inclusion of advanced multimedia features such as MP3 players, digital cameras, Web browsing, MMS and video processing. Based upon a closed polar loop approach, Helios eliminates the need for additional factory calibration, offering handset OEMs simplified testing processes and ease with high-volume manufacturing. To date, three of the world’s top five handset OEMs have adopted Skyworks’ Helios-based architectures for EDGE cellular phones.
