RFMD’s GaN CATV hybrids win Platinum Awards from Communications Technology magazine

RF Micro Devices Inc of Greensboro, NC, USA has been honored with two Platinum Awards from Communications Technology magazine, an engineering publication in the CATV industry and the official trade journal of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE). The awards will be presented formally on 8 December during an awards ceremony in New York City.

Platinum Awards from Communications Technology magazine recognize the broadband industry’s most innovative hardware, software, service, and marketing initiatives, as judged by a panel of industry experts. RFMD’s GaN CATV hybrids received dual honors in the categories of Energy-Savings (‘Green’) Technology and RF/HFC Technology.

“We believe our GaN CATV hybrids help our customers to maximize RF performance in cable networks while also minimizing energy consumption — two very important priorities in the broadband industry,” says Alastair Upton, general manager of RFMD’s Broadband Components business unit.

RFMD offers a broad range of CATV products, including packaged amplifiers, MMICs, modules, frequency modulation components, and passive components. The firm’s GaN technology delivers superior performance versus competing GaAs and silicon power technologies, while also supporting ‘green’ architectures that reduce energy consumption, improve thermal management and optimize network efficiency for network operators.
