Skyworks Launches Industry`s Highest Performance WLAN/WiFi Power Amplifier for HD Video Streaming

Expands Family of High Power Solutions Enabling Wireless Access to Multimedia
and Streaming HD; Enhances Linear Product Portfolio
BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high reliability analog
and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets, today
introduced the industry`s highest performance wireless local area network (WLAN)
and WiFi-certified power amplifier (PA) to meet demanding high-data rate
applications such as wireless high definition (HD) video transmission.

The SKY65137, along with other solutions in this product family, serve as a
media gateway, allowing wireless access to a vast array of multimedia content
from any room and replacing unwieldy cables currently required in the home.
Additional applications include high-performance video gaming, outdoor
wide-range access points, and extended-range routers.

"Skyworks` new 5 GHz solution increases the range and data rates of existing
conventional WiFi gateways and clients, making it ideal for streaming video
wirelessly in the home," said Irene Song, director of marketing at Skyworks. "We
are delighted to be at the forefront of powering a consolidated multimedia
console that will allow consumers to wirelessly access their entire
entertainment suite from any room."

Leveraging core technologies, Skyworks linear products portfolio offers diverse
standard and custom solutions supporting automotive, broadband, cellular
infrastructure, energy management, industrial, medical, military and mobile
handset applications, to name just a few.

About the Video Entertainment Networking Industry

Today`s market is driving toward higher performance, higher data-rate wireless
standards - particularly for video entertainment networking - which is driving
the need for larger and faster data pipes. Channel bonding, which extends
bandwidth by bonding two adjacent 20 MHz channels into a single channel, is one
means of supporting this requirement. Of the two WiFi frequency bands used
today, the 5 GHz band (802.11a/n) supports many more WiFi channels than the 2.4
GHz band (802.11b/g/n), making it more attractive to use for streaming video and
other high data-rate applications. Besides 802.11a/n, additional 5 GHz standards
such as wireless home digital interface (WHDI) are being used to enable HD video
transfer wirelessly in the home.

The SKY65137 WLAN/WiFi Power Amplifier

The SKY65137 is a microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) PA with
superior output power, linearity and efficiency. The device is fabricated using
Skyworks` high reliability indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) heterojunction
bipolar transistor (HBT) technology.

The PA is also internally input-output matched in a 20-pin 6 x 6 millimeter (mm)
multi-chip module (MCM) surface-mounted technology (SMT) package, which enables
customer ease-of-use and faster time-to-market, allowing for a high-performance
solution. In addition, the SKY65137 delivers 24 decibels (dBm) linear output
power at less than 2.5 percent error vector magnitude (EVM). This high output
power level enables higher data rates at extended ranges.
