Award Recognizes the 100 'Most Promising' Companies Driving the Future of
Technology
LOS GATOS, Calif., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Amalfi Semiconductor, a
developer of high-performance CMOS-based radio frequency (RF) and
mixed-signal semiconductors for cellular mobile handsets, today announced
that it is the recipient of the Red Herring 100 North America, an award
given to the top 100 private technology companies based in the region.
Amalfi received the award for its technology innovation in CMOS-based
power amplifier devices for cellular handsets. These advanced power
amplifiers decrease the power requirements of cellular phones, enabling
manufacturers to deliver phones with increased usage time, thinner designs
and additional functionality.
"The large number of entries in this year's competition demonstrates
that the economic slowdown has not affected technology innovation, "said
Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring. "The companies on this
year's list are proof that creative ideas continue to find the funding that
turns them into promising businesses."
"Amalfi is pleased to be the recipient of the Red Herring 100 North
America," said Jim Finch, co-founder and CEO of Amalfi Semiconductor. "To
be recognized by the Red Herring as an industry innovator confirms our
belief that our power amplifier technology has the ability to make a
significant impact on the performance of future generation cellular
handsets."
Red Herring's annual lists of top private companies are an important
part of the company's tradition of identifying new and innovative
technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and
Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted
as leaders that would change the way we live and work.
Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 800
private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and
subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of
strategy, and dedication to research and development.
Amalfi was presented the award at the Red Herring 100 North America
2008 event, May 12-14. As the venue for the unveiling of the Top 100
private companies in North America, this event draws unparalleled attention
from decision makers and industry observers across the continent. This year
