Anadigics (NASDAQ: ANAD) makes gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) radio frequency integrated circuits for the broadband wireless and wireline communications markets.

The company focuses on applications for wireless local area networks, cable set-top boxes, cell phones, cable television systems, microwave systems and fiber-to-the-premises communications systems. Customers include Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and Motorola (NYSE: MOT).
