Unified European response to the wireless semiconductor industry competition

There are much larger than the mobile phone market of electronic products么? Do not think so. There are much bigger than the wireless semiconductor semiconductor applications it? I am afraid it is very difficult. In such a huge market space for the temptation, the competition is not only naked, but also bloody, and sometimes their own, only more powerful in order to resist the brutal competition in the market, but also to more brutal treatment of its own competitors. New Year, as there is a mobile phone chip giant to set up, cell phone chip industry restructuring is not only not over, it led to changes in a more lively, and this time the changes in the wireless semiconductor market may be the reorganization of the pattern of the real beginning of ... ... Old speech - farewell to the old giant All contact phone more than five years or more consumers, all have cell phones Philips impressed by ultra-long standby time, at least in that era just have a cell phone, philips phone is synonymous with ultra-long standby, while Philips is in addition to TI at the time outside the phone baseband chip's second largest supplier. Time flies, Philis, not only the sale of the original cell phone sector, and the sale of the entire semiconductor sector. Today, cell phone chip industry will bid farewell to Philips complete the trade marks, the future, Philips will work with mobile phone chip mobile phone industry or even the whole, perhaps we can only be part of mobile phones and other speakers to have been able to continue to search for Philips in the mobile phone industry some brilliant mark However, NXP logo is also eye-catching signs into the bottom right corner of the small "Founded By Philips". In fact, private equity funds from NXP was the beginning of the acquisition of Glass, Philip chips and cell phone contact only on the NXP name only the 20% stake, while the ST acquisition NXP wireless sector after 80% of the shares, Philips also nominally 4% stake in the new company, now transferred to the ST with the NXP remaining 20% ST-NXP Wireless stake in mobile phone industry can be formal and the former Philips chip and mobile phone giant to say goodbye, and the other, Philips! New Year - new giant aggressive Philips withdrawal is due to a sufficient change in the pattern of mobile phone chip market to buy there, August 21, STMicroelectronics (ST) announced a more than half a month just to run the ST-NXP Wireless and Ericsson Mobile Platforms will cause the Department (EMP , Ericsson Mobile Platforms) the merger of ST At the same time, NXP will acquire ST-NXP Wireless hands of the remaining 20% stake in ST and Ericsson finally in the new company 50 percent stake each. This move on the entire wireless semiconductor chip market in particular, the impact of mobile phones can be called unprecedented, even before the merger of ST-NXP Wireless also far-reaching. At the same time in the fierce market competition is the fastest-growing wireless semiconductor market, ST and NXP merge wireless sector in fact has changed the market structure, Figure 1 is the ST-NXP Wireless before the merger changes in semiconductor market share, ST-NXP Wireless has been opened with the gap behind competitors. This time, with the EMP sector to join Ericsson, the future of new semiconductor company will become more open and distance behind the competitors, and close to the front of the two market leaders. Many analysts also pledged six months ago that the two leading manufacturers of wireless semiconductor market pattern of mutations in six months after the situation, the real formation of the three wireless chip market trend.
