Intel Corporation (Intel) confirmed that the company has been in the last month the acquisition of Fujitsu Group, Fujitsu Semiconductor Wireless Products (FSWP), to obtain their mobile communication transceivers and RF design teams ─ ─ This home is located in the United States Arizona that state companies focus on the development of advanced multi-mode LTE frequency (RF) transceiver. Market research company ForwardConcepts WillStrauss president and chief analyst, said the acquisition is made by Intel, which in reply "EETimes" confirmed in an email. Intel spokesman said that Intel decided to conduct this acquisition initiative aims to further expand its field of action.In an e-mail sent to customers, Strauss said the acquisition "very important" because it allows Intel to acquire a mobile transceiver and he was considered the world's best RF design team. Intel is likely through this decision, the company was able to make smartphones and tablet PCs and other mobile devices designed to place in the field.This RF design team's origins can be traced back from Fujitsu Freescale Semiconductor (FreescaleSemiconductor) company, and before Motorola (Motorola)'s Semiconductor Products Sector.Strauss said that this latest RF transceiver that features built-in antenna tuner, packet tracing, as well as a internal DSP to support any application processors, including building the x86 instruction set architecture of the processor. Better place then that the team is working on the development of: a can support LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation (CA) function of the RF chip.Strauss said that Intel has not yet officially announced the acquisition of Fujitsu Wireless, the reason may be that the company does not want to let the existing wireless business becomes more complex ─ ─ Intel's wireless division in 2011 to $ 1.4 billion from Infineon wireless business unit acquired from. That acquisition has Intel brings a wealth of 2G, 3GRF transceiver products. The company is now shipping LTERF multimode transceiver, instead of the current need LTE modem. However, even with Intel Fujitsu seems there is some duplication of existing products, but also can not stop the development of Intel's acquisition of Arizona Zhezhi team's decision.Intel spokesman said the company would not normally acquired for such decisions publicly, so the outside world.
