Qualcomm Acquires TDK to Boost Content in 5G Smartphones
"Qualcomm has acquired TDK's remaining stake in the joint venture, RF360 Holdings, which developed RF front-end (RFFE) components such as filters, amplifiers and tuner modules for 5G smartphones. Qualcomm entered into a partnership with TDK to focus on developing RFFE parts that connect cellular modems to antennas, which have historically been separate components inside smartphones and other cellular devices. This RFFE technology is highly crucial for delivering faster speeds and greater reliability on 5G mobile devices as it operates on higher frequency airwave bands.
