TriQuint Semiconductor (Nasdaq:TQNT), a leading manufacturer of wireless products, was named the fastest growing company out of the top three among Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) device manufactures in a report issued by Strategy Analytics. According to the report, TriQuint revenues grew 37%(a) year-on-year for the year ending 2006. Strategy Analytics estimates that total GaAs device market (merchant and captive) revenues grew 10% year-on-year in 2006 to $3.1 billion, with the three market leaders, including TriQuint, consolidating their overall ownership of the market from 47% to 55%.

According to Strategy Analytics, the GaAs device market is now split between companies that target high volume markets and those that have chosen to focus on high value industry applications. The report notes ?TriQuint is the only company out of the top three that has consistently had its feet planted firmly in both the high volume commercial and high value infrastructure and specialist camps. This core strength allows the company to balance cyclical high volume markets with demand for its products in high value applications. Under the direction of the company's senior management, TriQuint has shown that it can cope with a changeable and unusually active marketplace over the past year and compete in key accounts at the top tier of the handset market, while also consolidating its own leadership positions in infrastructure and military markets.?

During TriQuint's February 2007 analyst call, the company revealed earnings growth of 433% in 2006 over 2005, and announced it is now supplying production volume for four of the top five handset manufacturers. In its most recent analyst calls, the company announced a record number of handset design wins in both the first and second quarters. TriQuint Chief Executive Officer Ralph Quinsey attributes this success to its new handset product line, the first pillar of its growth plan. In 2004, corporate resources were re-aligned to build a leadership position in RF front-end components for handsets. These components connect a cellular phone antenna to the wireless digital chipset, while filtering noise and amplifying signals for better talktime. Mr. Quinsey noted ?The company's commitment to engineering excellence is paying off, and we are now seeing significant design wins and sales results. We expect this volume growth to continue into the foreseeable future,? exclaimed Quinsey.

Other pillars of TriQuint's growth strategy include an expansion of its networks revenue into more general purpose wireless products, as well as growth in its military product line and new process introductions for its commercial foundry market. As described in the new Strategy Analytics report, TriQuint's diversification approach allows it to play in multiple markets, while leveraging core technologies and expertise. According to the report, besides ??being one of the fastest growing companies, TriQuint retained the mantle of being the world's largest GaAs foundry in 2006.?
