Qorvo Beijing Earns Automotive ISO Quality Certification

ISO/TS 16949 CERTIFICATION SUPPORTS RELIABILITY AND CONSISTENCY IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLY CHAIN

Qorvo, a leading provider of innovative RF solutions that connect the world, announced that its Beijing manufacturing facility has earned ISO/TS 16949 qualification for testing and production of automotive RF components. The certification is essential for meeting the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC)-Q100 qualification for producing reliable, robust integrated circuits for cars.

Consumer demand for in-car infotainment, mobile communications and Wi-Fi hotspot accessibility is driving rapid growth in the global connected car market. Technavio expects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 32% in this market from 2016 to 2020.¹ That translates into a significant increase in the need for certified RF components that support cellular, GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity in cars.

Gorden Cook, general manager of Qorvo’s automotive business said, “Achieving ISO/TS 16949 certification underscores Qorvo’s commitment to delivering the most robust, reliable and high-performance RF solutions for a new generation of connected cars and driver applications. Our Beijing facility joins four other Qorvo operations – in Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Costa Rica – that have earned ISO/TS 16949 certification.”

Qorvo offers a broad portfolio of 802.11p, automotive Wi-Fi, SDARS, GPS and LTE automotive solutions. In addition to meeting ISO/TS 16949 certification, Qorvo performs AEC-Q100 and AEC-Q200 testing to ensure products meet stringent automotive industry requirements.
