Does this show promise for RMTR sometime in the future? Right now things are looking pretty hopeless.


RF chips to fare better in '09, says analyst

SAN FRANCISCO—Projections for the overall semiconductor industry in 2009 are dire, but favorable trends in the handset market should keep the market for RF chips from crashing this year and ready to bounce back more quickly than many industry segments, an analyst said Monday (March 2).

Analysts are now forecasting overall chip industry contraction on the order of 20 percent or more. But indications are that the RF semiconductor industry may contract closer to 1 percent in 2009 and bounce back with double digit growth in 2010 and beyond, according to Tom Hackenburg, an analyst at IMS Research (Austin, Texas).

Hackenburg said the RF chip market will benefit from lower resistance to reduced consumer purchasing power in the mobile handset market, advancements in 3G and 4G technologies and consumer demand for more advanced smartphones.
