Shipments of RFMD's Industry-Leading 2G Transmit Module Surpass 25 Million, Expected to Exceed 100 Million Units
in Calendar 2010
RF71xx Family of 2G Transmit Modules Powering RFMD's Growth In Emerging Markets
 GREENSBORO,
N.C., Dec 1, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq:RFMD), a
global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound
semiconductor technologies, today announced that RFMD has surpassed 25 million units in shipments of its
industry-leading
RF71xx family of 2G dual-band and quad-band transmit modules. RFMD commenced volume shipments of the
RF71xx product family in early calendar 2009, and shipments of
RF71xx products currently exceed 20 million units per quarter.
Eric Creviston, president of RFMD's
Cellular Products Group (CPG), said, "The success of the
RF71xx product family has been central to RFMD's growth in 2G components and our expanding leadership in Asia.
To date, RFMD has shipped
RF71xx products to hundreds of customers in China, Taiwan and Korea, and the product family continues to enjoy
robust design activity across handset manufacturers and global platform providers as we continue to develop
specific product derivatives."
Each product in the
RF71xx product family is designed to meet the front end requirements of emerging market handsets, including
reduced solution size, improved efficiency and robust ESD protection, while also satisfying customer requirements
for quality, reliability and reduced handset bill-of-material (BOM) costs. RFMD's
RF71xx transmit modules are pin-to-pin compatible across the entire product family, enabling customers to
produce dual-band, tri-band or quad-band GPRS or EDGE handsets from a single handset platform -- an industry
first.
