Semiconductor SIG ‘Unlocking New Semiconductor Opportunities in Connectivity’
This SIG event will examine current and future developments in semiconductors that will provide the data throughput required for new applications, and also the semiconductor devices that will support these applications on battery-powered mobile devices.

This Semiconductor SIG is championed by Eric Schorn of ARM, Peter Claydon of Silicon SouthWest and Carson Bradbury of Cre8Ventures. We are very grateful to CSR for hosting this event at their Cambridge offices.
The ability of networks to deliver high data throughput to users is in part governed by the development of more sophisticated modulation techniques and algorithms, but the ability to deploy these in the real world is wholly dependent on developments in the semiconductor arena that enable the implementation of these algorithms for an acceptable cost and power consumption. This applies both to terminal devices, which may be handsets, data cards, powerline adaptors or increasingly embedded in other devices, such as the Amazon Kindle, and to network devices that enable smaller and cheaper base stations, including femtocells and backhaul solutions.
It is a truism that the development of applications follows the availability of the underlying networks that support the required data throughput. For example, YouTube and Spotify would not be possible without widespread availability of wired broadband. So what are the applications that are driving the need for higher data throughputs and what semiconductor devices are being developed that will support these applications?
These are the speakers who will be presenting on the day:
- Raj Gawera, Vice President of HBU Marketing at CSR
- Mike Muller, Chief Technical Officer at ARM
- Gordon Lindsay, Associate Director at Broadcom Europe
- Ben Timmons, Senior Director of Business Development at Qualcomm
- Tim Fowler, Commercial Director, Cambridge Consultants
This SIG event will examine current and future developments in semiconductors that will provide the data throughput required for new applications, and also the semiconductor devices that will support these applications on battery-powered mobile devices.
