Highly-Integrated SkyOne® Ultra and DRx Solutions
Enabling 4G LTE Connectivity Applications
 September 14, 2017 - Skyworks, an innovator of high performance
analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today announced that its
SkyOne® Ultra
2.5 and diversity receive (DRx™) modules for mobile applications have been adopted by
some of the world's leading machine-to-machine (M2M) module manufacturers to provide high
performance, high speed 4G LTE capability. These fully integrated and tested systems, packaged
in extremely small form factors, enable M2M suppliers including Fibocom, Sierra Wireless,
and Telit to extend plug and play, high-speed cellular connectivity across an endless array
of Internet of Things (IoT) products and applications — in any global region and on any wireless
network.
SkyOne® Ultra 2.5 covers over 20 LTE frequency bands in a complete front-end solution;
inclusive of power amplification, duplex filtering and antenna switching. Skyworks' DRx™ improves
receiver sensitivity and cell edge performance while addressing all major downlink carrier
aggregation combinations. This highly differentiated solution integrates low noise amplification,
receive filtering, and band switching. By supporting global and regionally optimized SKUs
in the same PCB footprint, these platforms uniquely enable cost-effective, high performance
architectures with ultimate flexibility.
"As always-on connectivity proliferates from mobile to the IoT, including M2M applications,
there is an increasing demand for fully integrated, turnkey systems that can effectively connect
everyone and everything, all the time," said Carlos Bori, vice president of sales and marketing
for Skyworks. "We're excited to leverage our scale and technology leadership in mobile to
accelerate the adoption of high speed cellular functionality in a growing number of new and
innovative markets that depend on seamless wireless connectivity."
According to a recent Cisco VNI report, M2M will be one of the fastest growing mobile connection
vehicles as global IoT applications continue to gain traction in consumer and business environments.
Cisco forecasts that globally, M2M connections will grow from 780 million in 2016 to 3.3 billion
by 2021, at a compounded annual growth rate of 34 percent. Further, M2M mobile connections
will exceed a quarter of total devices and connections by 2021, as devices evolve from 2G
to 3G, 4G and higher technologies.
