World renowned designer and manufacturer of semiconductor
solutions,
ANADIGICS, Inc.
(
ANAD
) recently launched its latest dual-band Power Amplifiers (PA).
With the introduction of the product, the company has extended its
ProEficient 3G / 4G PA platform.
The power amplifiers delivered by the company are expected to
enhance the battery longevity of the smartphones and tablets by
providing a platform for optimum power yield capacity. The latest
product deploys the company's InGaP-Plus technique and advanced
design process for raising the integration level and minimizing the
space required by various applications including 3G and
4G.
Management stated that, with the high usage of 4G data, the
battery longevity of mobile devices is declining and power usage is
rising continuously. ANADIGICS' latest product is expected to
optimize the battery-life with its customized offerings.
Headquartered in Warren, New Jersey, ANADIGICS is positioned in
the fast-growing markets: 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi and CATV. In addition, the
company is also raising its product content in markets, where
multiple power amplifiers and multiple tuner ICs are
required. The continued expanded high demand of wireless
connectivity in a growing number of consumer devices, including
smart phones and tablets, provide substantial opportunities for
growth to ANADIGICS.

hinder the growth of ANADIGICS in future.The company faces fierce

situations.
