AcSiP Technology to ramp Wi-Fi SiP module output in 1Q10 Tweet

AcSiP Technology, a SiP module subsidiary of NAND flash device backend service company Aptos Technology, is expected to ramp up its output of Wi-Fi SiP modules for handsets to 300,000 units a month in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 100,000 units in the previous quarter, according to industry sources.

Despite being a start-up set up only in May 2009, AcSiP's Wi-Fi modules received validation from MediaTek in July last year, allowing the company to enter into the component supply chain of MediaTek platform-based handsets, the sources noted.

AcSiP's Wi-Fi modules have since then found their ways into more than 100 handset makers in China, mostly the gray market handset vendors, the sources indicated.

Although current Wi-Fi module shipments to the gray market account for 60-70% of AcSiP's total shipments, the ratio of shipments to China-based branded handset vendors will increase substantially in 2010, stated AcSip president HT Chen.
