Innovative Front-end Modules Deliver High
Efficiency and Enable One of the Largest Markets
Skyworks Solutions, Inc., (NASDAQ: SWKS) an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today introduced its next generation solutions for smart
energy and industrial, scientific and medical markets. Skyworks’
newest devices are high performance front-end modules (FEMs) that
incorporate a complete transmit/receive chain with associated
switching, filtering and logic. Given their high output power and
power added efficiency (PAE), this new family of FEMs is ideal for
utility infrastructure platforms such as smart meters, which are
battery powered and require fast on/off transitions.

“Skyworks is at the forefront of the innovative technology
enabling many of today’s smart energy platforms, from smart meters
to advanced metering infrastructure systems,” said John O’Neill,
vice president of broad markets for Skyworks. “Skyworks is
delighted that our newest solutions are being leveraged by several
customers to create differentiated devices and enable operational
efficiencies across multiple gas and water metering
applications.”
Smart meters are digital meters that send energy usage
information from the customer site to a utility company via radio
frequency. These newer digital electronic devices are capable of
tracking and recording a customer’s energy usage as well as
communicating with the energy supplier. Smart meters help to reduce
meter reading and connection costs as well as inefficiencies in
operations and billing.
According to a Business Intelligence (BI) report, smart meters
have become one of the leading Internet of Things (IoT) devices and
will account for 10 percent of IoT shipments this year. Globally,
BI expects the number of smart meters to grow from an installed
base of 454 million in 2015 to 930 million by 2020, representing a
five-year compound annual growth rate of 15 percent. Many of these
devices will be enabled by Skyworks’ technology.
