Skyworks Solutions Inc., an innovator of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile connectivity, congratulates Samsung on recently winning two prominent FEMTO cell awards. Jang Young Shil, presented by the Maeil Business Newspaper – the most influential economic daily in Korea, and the Korea Industrial Technology Association (KOITA) – operated by the Korean government, is granted based on technological importance, originality and economic value.

In addition, Samsung was awarded the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Best of Innovations 2008 in the Wireless Handsets Accessories category for UbiCell, a small, personal base station that installs without any technical assistance and works with users’ mobile phones to provide secure, indoor cellular service over existing broadband networks.

“We want to thank Skyworks for their innovative portfolio of transceivers, power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers for use in our FEMTO cell applications,” said Oh Seung Cheol, senior engineer at Samsung. “We rely heavily on their high-quality Linear Products portfolio, and it ultimately contributed to Samsung winning these two prestigious awards.”

“Skyworks is honored to play an integral role in Samsung being internationally recognized for their FEMTO cell solutions,” said Liam K. Griffin, senior vice president, sales and marketing for Skyworks. “This collaboration embraces leading infrastructure technologies developed by both companies, illustrating that by working together, award-winning products ensue.”
