RF Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: RFMD), a leading provider of proprietary radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for wireless communications applications, today announced shipments of its POLARIS™ 2 TOTAL RADIO™ chipset into the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) V360 EDGE handset.

These shipments extend RFMD’s presence in Motorola’s EDGE handset portfolio, which includes millions of POLARIS-enabled EDGE handsets successfully launched and operating at major carriers worldwide. RFMD’s POLARIS transceiver solutions have been designed into multiple current and future handsets, including Motorola’s V551, V186, E895, PEBL and SLVR L7.

“We are delighted to continue to deliver our POLARIS chipsets into Motorola’s EDGE handset lineup,” said Eric Creviston, Corporate Vice President of Cellular Products at RFMD. “We look forward to continuing to support Motorola as they launch additional handsets using our POLARIS transceiver solutions. Given the low cost, industry-leading footprint and digital interface of our POLARIS solutions, RFMD is enabling handset manufacturers to design smaller, more feature-rich handsets with greater levels of functionality.”

RF Micro Devices is a key supplier to Motorola, delivering best-in-class transceiver chipsets, front-end modules, and power amplifiers for CDMA, GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA handsets.. In addition to the POLARIS 2 chipset, RFMD anticipates significant sales growth of its POLARIS Radio Module in upcoming quarters in support of high volume EDGE and GPRS handsets. RFMD currently forecasts its POLARIS transceiver solutions will grow as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue in calendar 2006.

RFMD pioneered the EDGE transceiver chipset market and leads the industry in the transition to digital interfaces in higher data-rate cellular systems, such as EDGE and WCDMA, as an original member of the DigRF (www.digrf.com) working group.
