Anadigics Continues To Execute On Plan For Profitability, Nov. 6, 2013 9:22 PM ET
Anadigics has always been well known for their cellular power amplifiers and CATV products. However, their white hot products currently are their front-end integrated circuit (FEIC)and power amplifiers for WiFi connectivity, specifically for the new 802.11ac standard. Anadigics is clearly the leader in 802.11ac FEIC and power amplifiers right now, winning the majority of reference designs in flagship phones and tablets including the Samsung Galaxy Note 3,Galaxy S4, LG G2 and the recently announced Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. In addition, Anadigics has been designed into 9 new leading reference designs. In my opinion the most important WiFi win for Anadigics is the FEIC for the newMurata WiFi module for 802.11ac. Arguably the biggest critique of the new Apple (APPL) iPhone 5 and iPads are that they do not support this new standard, instead opting for the older, slower 802.11n technology. No doubt, to keep up with Samsung's competing Galaxy phone and tablet product lines, which support 802.11ac, you should see this feature in the iPhone 6. We all know once Apple selects a vendor for the iPhone it typically keeps them for subsequent versions. So why is the Murata win so big for Anadigics? Because Murata supplied the module for WiFi connectivity in the iPhone 5 coupled with the Broadcom chipset for the older 802.11n. Don't be surprised to finally find Anadigics in the next iPhone via the Murata module.
Dissembling the device in a Mac repair shop after lining up overnight to buy a phone, iFixit technicians also discovered a Murata wifi module, a Broadcom touchscreen controller, and chips from Skyworks, Avago and TriQuint.
