Alpha Industries, Inc. has received a high-volume production order
for RF semiconductors from Sony Corp. Alpha's semiconductors are
being used in Sony's newly released, next-generation wireless
handsets, which combine voice, data and wireless Internet
access. "This high-volume order from Sony represents an important
vote of confidence from the number-one consumer electronics company
in the world," said Alpha President and CEO David Aldrich. "This is
Alpha's first product to be designed into a Sony wireless handset,
and it represents yet another important success in our strategy of
diversifying our wireless OEM customer base." In the past fiscal
quarter, Alpha diversified its roster of wireless customers by
substantially increasing production-volume semiconductor shipments to
Mitsubishi, Samsung and Siemens. At the same time, the company placed
power amplifiers and switches in Motorola's three recently announced
new phones. In the wireless infrastructure market, Alpha posted
significant increases in sales to Alcatel, Ericsson and Nokia,
increasing its positions in both 2.5 and 3G platforms.
