Mobile and Wireless Reports:

We provide comprehensive technology analysis on semiconductors for mobile and wireless applications in two primary categories: processing and connectivity. Processing includes cellular baseband chips, mobile application processors, and mobile multimedia processors (MMP). Mobile connectivity encompasses the noncellular radios commonly used in mobile devices: Bluetooth, FM, GPS, Wi-Fi and near-field communications (NFC).
