SAN DIEGO, USA: Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling innovative antenna and RF system solutions to deliver the best connected experience, is set to ship its one billionth antenna by the end of this year. In just two years' time, the company has doubled the number of antennas shipped - advancing from the 500-million mark in the fourth quarter of 2011 to one billion at the close of 2013.

"These past two years have been instrumental in Ethertronics' growth," said Laurent Desclos, president and CEO at Ethertronics. "From the continued proliferation of smartphones to the growth of wireless tablets, notebooks and other consumer electronics, the demand for high-performance antenna systems has increased.

"Shipping our one billionth antenna is a major milestone for Ethertronics and further validates our leadership position in bringing active antenna, RF systems and chip solutions to market. We predict that we will continue on a similar growth path in the coming year given the constant demand for wireless-enabled devices and the increasing connectivity challenges facing OEMs.

"Ethertronics' innovative technologies and design capabilities help OEMs solve their toughest antenna system challenges to deliver high-performance, wireless devices and M2M products for wireless operators and their customers. With a foundation of being integrated into more than 1,000 devices, Ethertronics is set to become the leading global developer of antenna and RF Front End solutions for 3G and 4G (LTE and LTE-Advanced) wireless devices, as well as a provider of solutions for Machine to Machine (M2M) and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)."
