WJ Communications Received Order For New TD-SCDMA MCM Chipset
Success showcases new strategy of providing highly integrated product
SAN JOSE, Calif., January 10, 2008 -- WJ Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:WJCI), a leading designer and supplier of radio frequency (RF) products and solutions for the wireless infrastructure and radio frequency identification (RFID) reader markets, today announced the initial production order for a TD-SCDMA Multi Chip Module (MCM) chipset valued at $0.5 million for delivery in the first quarter of 2008. Additional deliveries are anticipated later in 2008 to support China’s TD-SCDMA roll-out.
“We are pleased to provide our first TD-SCDMA MCM chipset to a leading Chinese global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions,” said Bruce Diamond, President and Chief Executive Office of WJ Communications. “Over the past several years, we have strategically focused our product roadmap on providing semi-custom system-level, highly integrated MCM and RFIC solutions. Recently, our design teams in conjunction with our customers have developed innovative solutions through dialogue with our customers’ top management, system architects, and design engineers. Our new TD-SCDMA MCM module is the result of this new direction and provides our customers with reduced cost, increased system reliability, and increased robustness. We look forward to releasing additional integrated solutions in the future.”
