Company Overview and Strategy
Anadigics was founded in 1985 when it initiated macrocell development. A year later, it completed construction of
its wafer fab, and in 1987, started GaAs IC production with the introduction of both MMIC and fiber optic IC
products. Today, the company is a leading designer and producer of GaAs ICs for high-volume, high-frequency
receiver applications. The company launched its initial public offering in April 1995.
The company had originally relied on defense contracts to survive. However, with lucrative military pacts becoming
more of a rarity, Anadigics looked to the commercial and consumer electronics marketplaces to sell its products.
Today, Anadigics has established itself as a leading supplier of high-volume, low-cost, high-performance analog
GaAs ICs for applications including direct broadcast satellite (DBS) systems, cable TV systems, cellular phones,
fiber optic communications, and personal communication systems (PCS).
