On Wednesday, Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:QRVO)’s shares inclined 0.85% to $81.55.
Qorvo Inc (QRVO) declared new high-performance Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) components ideal for broadband communications systems. The highly integrated components significantly reduce external components while lowering cost, power consumption, and weight in wireless infrastructure, test and measurement, and defense and aerospace applications.
Qorvo now offers the following RF switches, temperature compensating attenuator (TCA), digital step attenuators (DSA), and a programmable array of capacitors (PAC).
- The RFSW60x2 family of 5-6,000 MHz multi-throw switches features an industry-leading combination of insertion loss, linearity, and isolation. With three-to-six throws, it comes in a tiny 2×2 mm QFN package. Qorvo also launched a high isolation (60 dB) SOI switch, RFSW6024, which is landing major design wins at cellular base station manufacturers. These broadband switches require no external blocking capacitors.
- The RFSA4033 is a new 5-6,000 MHz analog TCA that features exceptional linearity over its entire gain control range. This TCA offsets the gain reduction of an RF lineup over temperature without the need for closed loop feedback. Eight selectable scaled attenuation slopes and eight selectable attenuation values at 25* C create a total combination of 64 possible temperature coefficients, making it a flexible solution for RF lineups.

At the end of Wednesday’s trade, Rackspace Hosting, Inc. (NYSE:RAX)‘s shares surged 1.36% to $40.24.
Rackspace Hosting, Inc. (RAX) declared results of a new study that reveals two thirds (66 per cent) of surveyed IT managers agree the rapid pace of technological change is making decisions about IT investment more difficult than 10 years ago. The study, which polled 250 IT decision makers across the UK, found that as a result of this rapid pace of change, 62 per cent of IT decision makers have invested in hardware or software that has never been used by the organization.
IT Department Challenges
The challenge extends right from bringing in the appropriate tools to effectively manage business applications and infrastructure, through to implementing the right technology for employees. Of those surveyed, more than half (51 per cent) had deployed technology within the company that employees have never used or received the full benefit from. One of the reasons for this may be that nearly three quarters (74 per cent) have bought technology that was more difficult to use than originally thought. Significantly, respondents that invested in difficult-to-use technology were more likely to go over budget (74 per cent) than those who managed to avoid it (26 per cent).
In addition, with long software update cycles quickly becoming a thing of the past, IT departments are being forced into weighing up whether to risk business disruption to update systems. Of those surveyed, 32 per cent left employees unable to access servers, 22 per cent caused a website to crash, 19 per cent left employees unable to access the internet and 18 per cent left employees unable to access emails.
