Skyworks Enabling Next Generation Over-the-Top Set Top Boxes

Delivering System Solutions for Streaming Media Platforms That Are Transforming Consumer Viewing

WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today announced that it is ramping front-end modules, wireless connectivity switches, power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, and power management solutions for streaming media and smart TV applications supporting OEMs such as Roku, Google, Amazon and Samsung. Over-the-top (OTT) content provided through set top boxes is one of the fastest growing media segments as consumers migrate towards high-end streaming solutions across multiple devices. Skyworks' highly innovative products deliver best-in-class WiFi media performance and support ultra-high definition/4K resolution.

"Skyworks' analog and RF solutions are being leveraged across multiple next generation platforms consumers are embracing to stream content throughout the home," said John O'Neill, vice president of broad markets for Skyworks. "Our design win momentum demonstrates how we are leveraging our expansive portfolio and deep product pipeline to capitalize on the demand for system level solutions enabling wireless connectivity in new markets and ecosystems."

According to Barbara Kraus, Director of Research at Parks Associates, nearly 50 percent of video content that U.S. consumers watch on a television is on demand or time shifted. This is up from 38 percent in 2010, reflecting the rapidly changing market and move towards new digital media. In fact, a recent report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers states that OTT television streaming will grow to be a $10.1 billion segment in 2018, up from just $3.3 billion in 2013.
