Abstract
GaAs semiconductors have recently risen from obscurity to technological wonder. The use of GaAs semiconductors in consumer wireless applications has enabled the industry to emerge from its military roots to full-blown commercialization, where millions of units are shipped on a monthly basis and where the OEM community has accepted GaAs as a viable substitute for silicon. This paper will address some of the emerging wireless applications and market opportunities. In addition, the topic of competing technologies will be discussed.
