Press Release

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an industry leader in radio solutions and precision analog semiconductors, today announced it has commenced volume shipments of its GSM/GPRS radio system to LG Electronics. LG, a top-tier handset manufacturer, is leveraging the SKY74400, a low-cost silicon platform that incorporates advanced manufacturing techniques to shrink the footprint and reduce customers' bill of materials, in handsets being developed for emerging markets.

Skyworks' GSM/GPRS solution combines its field-proven silicon transceiver with its industry-leading power amplifier (PA) into one ultra-compact architecture, replacing discrete designs that make use of a direct conversion transceiver, a separate PA and various other external components.

In emerging markets, consumers and operators demand inexpensive handsets that meet specific requirements while exceeding expectations for quality, reliability and design. As the primary obstacle to wider adoption in developing countries is cost, Skyworks' radio addresses this issue by providing top-tier OEMs a cost-effective, high-performance solution, thus helping boost economic development in many emerging markets such as Africa, India, and Southeast Asia.

According to ABI Research, up to 80 percent of the world's population lives within range of a cellular network, however, only 25 percent subscribe to a mobile phone service. Industry observers believe low-cost handsets could expand the market by as many as 3 billion customers.

"Skyworks is pleased to be doing its part in bringing low-cost handsets to emerging markets," said Kevin D. Barber, senior vice president and general manager for Mobile Platforms at Skyworks. "Our architecture makes it easy for customers to design in and provides significant cost benefits in engineering development, logistics and manufacturing, enabling OEMs to meet growing demands in this high-volume market. Additionally, this development highlights our ability to bring radio solutions to tier-one OEMs."

Through its innovative and proprietary technology, Skyworks is providing radio solutions to four of the top five leading OEMs and executing on its strategy of delivering higher levels of integration to handset manufacturers. The migration of customers from power amplifiers to front-end modules, to complete radio solutions allows for smaller RF footprints and reduced bill of materials, while at the same time enabling Skyworks to significantly increase its addressable market - a true win-win approach.
