TriQuint acquires TriAccess to offer devices capable of triple-play services

TriAccess Technologies has acquired by TriQuint Semiconductor. The TriQuint's CATV products combined with TriAccess' product lines and the TriAccess RFIC amplifiers deliver high performance and high integration over the triple-play services like Internet, video and voice.

Now a days the cable and telecom operators are competing to provide the consumer with triple-play services (Internet, video and voice) and are upgrading their networks to provide the bandwidth needed for high-speed Internet, multiple HDTV streams, and applications such as Video-on-Demand (VOD).

"The TriAccess team is a great fit for TriQuint," said Brian Balut, Vice President of TriQuint's Network Products. "TriAccess brings a portfolio of products for the CATV and FTTP markets, with strong design and market understanding, which accelerates TriQuint's strategy of serving these applications. The combined resources of TriQuint and TriAccess put the company in a leadership position in these growing markets."

"We're eager to join TriQuint and believe that together we can accelerate our success in multiple CATV and fiber optic video markets worldwide. We are anxious to further utilize TriQuint's process technology and assembly and test resources. TriQuint is well known and highly respected by our customers, providing additional confidence that we are a dependable and stable source of supply," said Chris Day, TriAccess' president and CTO. Mr. Day will now manage this TriQuint Santa Rosa Design Center focused on the growing CATV and fiber optic video markets.
