TriQuint Semiconductor Inc., an RF front-end product manufacturer
and foundry services provider, announced its acquisition of
TriAccess Technologies, a provider of Cable TV (CATV) and
Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) integrated circuits for the
amplification of high quality multimedia content, effective
immediately. Previously, TriQuint served as TriAccess’ foundry
supplier.
“The TriAccess team is a great fit for TriQuint,” said Brian Balut,
Vice President of TriQuint’s Network Products. “TriAccess brings a
portfolio of products for the CATV and FTTP markets, with strong
design and market understanding, which accelerates TriQuint’s
strategy of serving these applications. The combined resources of
TriQuint and TriAccess put the company in a leadership position in
these growing markets.”
Cable and telecom operators are competing to provide the consumer
with triple-play services (Internet, video and voice) and are
upgrading their networks to provide the bandwidth needed for
high-speed Internet, multiple HDTV streams and applications such as
Video-on-Demand (VOD). These services require RF components that
provide higher performance – such as higher bandwidth, better
linearity, lower noise, reduced power consumption and higher
integration – all at reduced cost. It is not just a US focus;
Europe and the Asia-Pacific region are deploying similar systems.
TriQuint’s CATV products combined with TriAccess’ product lines
address these global needs. TriAccess RFIC amplifiers deliver
significant performance improvements over competing products.
“We’re eager to join TriQuint and believe that together we can
accelerate our success in multiple CATV and fiber optic video
markets worldwide. We are anxious to further utilize TriQuint’s
process technology and assembly and test resources. TriQuint is
well known and highly respected by our customers, providing
additional confidence that we are a dependable and stable source of
supply,” said Chris Day, TriAccess’ President and CTO. Day will now
manage this TriQuint Santa Rosa Design Center focused on the
growing CATV and fiber optic video markets.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. TriAccess’ results are
not expected to materially impact TriQuint’s net income.
