Leading Chinese Handheld Device Manufacturers Choose SkyCross Antennas


VIERA, Fla. --(Business Wire)--

SkyCross, a global antenna solutions company, demonstrates continued success with leading handheld device manufacturers in China. SkyCross is providing antennas for:

Top-ranked Aigo personal media players (PMPs) supporting China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting (CMMB) for mobile TV

Hisense handsets with the world's first use of Qualcomm's mirosolTM display technology

High-performance devices from Alcatel Mobile Phones, a business unit of TCT Mobile Limited established by TCL Communication and Alcatel

The recent successes with leading Chinese manufacturers demonstrate the design freedom offered by versatile SkyCross solutions, which are frequency-agile and protocol-independent. SkyCross supports its China-based customers from full-service design and manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Local engineers work closely with customers to address design challenges, whether developing the next breakthrough handset or managing costs for a low-end device. SkyCross designs antennas to conserve battery life as features are added, offering optimal radio-frequency systems performance.



Aigo: Aigo, a popular brand by Beijing Huaqi Information Digital Technology Co., Ltd., provides top-ranked PMPs in China. The DT5200 model is one of the first devices from Aigo to use SkyCross mobile video antennas for the China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting (CMMB) standard based on satellite and terrestrial infrastructure. The SkyCross antennas receive high-quality audio and live HDTV including local news, sports, and more. The strong network connection made possible by SkyCross antennas accelerates data rates to provide users with a seamless TV experience.

Hisense: SkyCross began providing antennas to Hisense last year for a wide range of applications from advanced mobile handsets for mature markets to fixed wireless phones for emerging economies. Following many successful devices, Hisense chose SkyCross to provide antennas for its C108 model, the world's first handset to use Qualcomm's mirasol display technology. Mirasol, based on Interferometric Modulation (IMOD), harnesses ambient light sources to provide a display that does not need backlighting. Combined with efficient, multi-band antennas from SkyCross, the C108 offers extended battery life.


Alcatel Mobile Phones: Alcatel Mobile Phones are designed with a sharp focus on style. Many handsets are curved and sleek, with unique user friendly features. SkyCross fits internal antennas in tight spaces to provide device designers the freedom to develop designs without sacrificing performance or style.

"We are pleased to grow our customer base while supporting our loyal customers," said Ping Chen, Managing Director of SkyCross China. "This continued success underscores the value of our superior technology, cost-effective manufacturing, and local support."
