irev210 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 According to Strauss, the acquisition of the Tempe, Ariz.-based Fujitsu unit "is a very important move for Intel as Fujitsu Wireless had developed probably the most advanced multimode LTE RF transceiver available in the open market." Strauss, in his newsletter to clients, noted that the Fujitsu Wireless operation traces its lineage to Freescale Semiconductor and Motorola Semiconductor. "Intel has acquired a truly seasoned technical staff, now probably their most seasoned U.S.-based wireless talent," he said. Sounds good to me! Intel has a lot of catching up - this probably helps a lot.

Nickel Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Completely pointless for Sprint people, but yes I imagine this will help them. I think they're first LTE modem is supposed to debut Q1 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the IBEZ kills that possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
