Skyworks Solutions has introduced the SkyLiTE 2.0, its next generation front-end solution for powering LTE devices. This highly integrated platform provides smartphone manufacturers with a complete front-end system that meets today’s carrier aggregation (CA) design challenges. Building upon their successful first generation solution, the devices are baseband agnostic and incorporate amplification, switching, Wi-Fi filtering, and coupler functionality required to support all major FDD/TDD bands. SkyLiTE 2.0 addresses new global downlink CA performance standards with integrated diplexer and harmonic filtering functionality and is optimized for regional use, providing OEMs with scalable and reconfigurable architectures for faster time to market.
This new family of SkyLiTE solutions enable Skyworks to offer smartphone manufacturers a high performance, low cost platform that delivers ultimate flexibility while addressing carrier aggregation challenges. OPPO, a global electronics and technology leader in China, is the first OEM to leverage the new modules to support their smartphones slated for launch later this month.
According to a September 2015 GfK Projector Model Report, LTE will represent approximately 49 percent of total handsets by 2016, up from 22 percent of total handsets in 2014. Skyworks’ SkyLiTE™ 2.0 solution targets this fast growing market segment.
