70 million dollars to open the door of Samsung mobile phone

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; Samsung mobile phone division and the exhibition cooperation in fact, 2008 years have begun, cooperation in the field of RF chips, is said to cooperate at the beginning of the team of Samsung has sent the research and development of the exhibition, design and production process, inspection time of three months, but the bitter suffering based on the RF chip Samsung mobile phone is said to be listed in the near future.

January 16, 2008, the exhibition of the acquisition of RF company Quorum, the acquisition of 55 million U.S. dollars of cash plus 15 million U.S. dollars in the stock, if the performance of two years after the quorum is satisfactory, the exhibition will pay an additional 6 million dollars in cash. This money is not a small number for the exhibition. To be aware, the June 2007 Nasdaq issue of shares in the United States to raise the amount of money is only 120 million dollars.

70 million of dollars of investment in the door opened Samsung mobile phone at last, the price is not small, but it is worth it, although the purchase price of 70 million dollars once made the exhibition capital tight, but can enter Samsung such international mainstream handset manufacturer's list of suppliers, Even if MediaTek, the biggest rival, is still unable to do so, according to Taiwanese friends, MediaTek's share price can be at least doubled if MediaTek really has the opportunity to work with international manufacturers such as Nokia and Samsung, but thanks to MediaTek's support for Shanzhai phones, it seems that these international manufacturers have reached a tacit understanding Never use MediaTek's products.

Because of the global economic crisis, the former scenery Wireless mobile phone chip manufacturers are most difficult, TI has even XUANBU3 month discontinued three weeks, the exhibition can enter the international well-known mobile phone manufacturers are very rare, if you can seize this opportunity, I believe that the exhibition to enter other international manufacturers of the goal will not be difficult to achieve, The economic crisis for some manufacturers is a disaster, for other manufacturers may be the opportunity, the exhibition is clearly seized the opportunity.

At the beginning of Quorum's acquisition, many industry friends were worried about the bold move of the exhibition. After all, listed financing only 120 million dollars, Wu Ping dared to spend most of the 70 million U.S. dollars to buy an RF company, although the acquisition of quorum can enrich the product line, and thus can be like MediaTek to provide turn key solutions, once the acquisition failed, The cost of the exhibition may be disastrous, and now it seems that even if the 70 million-dollar purchase price is higher, it is clear that the quorum team's technical assessment is not wrong.

A few days ago, at the 2009 Mobile Communications World Congress, the world's first TD-SCDMA/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS/GSM single chip RF transceiver QS3200 was released. After the launch of the GPRS single chip RF transceiver QS500 series and Gsm/gprs/edge single chip RF Transceiver QS1000 series, the exhibition has successfully developed the world's first single chip RF solution to support 2g/3g/3.5g multiple formats. Just do not know the Samsung cooperation RF chip is which section.

No matter how even if the exhibition of the 70 million dollars a little expensive, old Yao or congratulate the exhibition can knock open the door of Samsung mobile phone, also hope that the more the more the better (author, old Yao)
