(NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ANAD ANAD Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD Anniston Army Depot ANAD Asociación Nacional de Abogados Democráticos (National Association of Democratic Lawyers, Mexico) ) announced today that its 860 MHz CATV (Community Antenna TV) The original name for cable TV. It used a single antenna at the highest location in the community in order to deliver a quality signal to homes in areas with hilly terrain or other interference. GaAs MMIC (Monolithic Microwave IC) An integrated circuit used in high-frequency applications such as mobile phones. Also known as "monolithic microwave/millimeter-wave IC," MMICs combine transistors and passive devices (resistors, capacitors, etc. chip-set, which has been incorporated into many cable modem tuners now reaching the market, is compliant with the Multimedia Cable Network System (MCNS MCNS Managing Cisco Network Security MCNS Multimedia Cable Network Systems MCNS Media Centre for National Security (Sri Lanka) MCNS Ministerial Committee for National Security (Iraq) ) interoperability standard. Versions of these devices are used in cable modems manufactured by Intel Corp., Bay Networks Inc., 3COM Corp. and Motorola Inc., among others. Ron Rosenzweig, President and Chief Executive Officer of ANADIGICS, Inc. commented, "We are pleased to announce that ANADIGICS' 860 MHz chip-set supports the MCNS interoperability standard. This standard, issued at the National Cable Television Association Trade Show in March 1997, was developed by a consortium of leading MSOs (Multiple System Operator) and ensures users the rapid availability of interoperable, high-speed cable data modems from multiple vendors." ANADIGICS' chip-set is designed to implement a high performance dual conversion tuner for CATV digital applications, such as digital set top boxes, HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates and cable modems, as well as analog TV applications. By integrating all essential functions, the chip-set enables the design of a tuner with a minimum auxiliary parts count and requiring no circuit tuning in manufacturing. In addition, both chips are available in a modified flatpack 16-lead SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. plastic package which enables a low profile tuner design, yet provides for adequate heat dissipation to ensure reliability. ANADIGICS, Inc. is a leading supplier of gallium arsenide integrated circuits used to receive and transmit radio and microwave frequency signals in a variety of high volume consumer communications applications. The Company primarily focuses on supplying to the wireless communication, cable television, fiber optic telecommunications, and direct broadcast satellite television markets. ANADIGICS' objective is to be the leading supplier of RF/microwave solutions using GaAs integrated circuits. http://www.anadigics.com CONTACT: Anadigics Inc., Warren John Lyons, 908/412-5972 Chief Financial Officer or Morgen-Walke Associates, Inc., New York Michele Katz/Jessica Davis Press: Lee Foley/Ann Travers 212/850-5600 |
