Photo Release -- ANADIGICS Expands Infrastructure Product Line With New Family of Voltage-Controlled Oscillators

WARREN, N.J., Nov. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANAD) (the "Company"), a world leader in radio frequency (RF) solutions, today announced that the Company has introduced a new product family of voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). Point-to-point wireless backhaul networks provide reliable access to high-speed data and voice services without fiber optic infrastructure connectivity. According to a recent report by iGR, the North American market for wireless backhaul metrocells is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 146% over the next five years. The Company's new VCO solutions are optimized for these applications and offer outstanding output power and phase noise performance at the industry's highest order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
