Increasing hybrid-working trends, which have triggered the demand for access data bandwidth, are expected to have aided the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Rising power management attach rates across the company’s broadband infrastructure applications are expected to have driven content growth across the existing platform.
The company’s introduction of a fully integrated SoC, named Sierra, for 4G/5G Open RAN radio units is likely to have aided its quarterly performance.
Increasing platform design wins across multiple geographies in new end markets are likely to have been beneficial for the company.
