"Avago is a leading provider of RF front end solutions for Small Cell applications with the industry's most comprehensive product offering of LTE PAs and LTE/WiFi coexistence filters," said Ron Ruebusch, senior vice president and general manager of Avago's Wireless Semiconductor Division. "The introduction of our four new MGA-43xxx PAs and full showcase of our LTE/WiFi coexistence filters at IMS 2014 further demonstrate Avago's commitment to addressing the growing Small Cell market segment."
"With mobile data demand overwhelming the mobile network, small cells are becoming an important part of building capacity for LTE," asserted Joe Madden, principal analyst at Mobile Experts. "The early days of femtocells are now changing to multi-band, multi-mode small cells where 3G, LTE, and Wi-Fi must operate simultaneously without interference. The industry needs high-performance RF filters and power amplifiers to make these multi-mode radio nodes successful."
