RFMDs multimarket product group will allow ACAL to further penetrate the broadband, consumer, CATV, aerospace & defence, test & instrumentation and wireless infrastructure markets.”

The combination of ACAL’s specialist engineering support with the strength of the RFMD product portfolios delivers a compelling mix for customers across a broad range of applications who want to reduce the form-factor, overall cost and time-to-market of next-generation wireless systems.” Added Colin Hunt, European Sales Manager, RFMD.
