Offering 100% authorized and guaranteed product support

Wireless technologies continue to be used in a growing number of applications. From their traditional roles in communications, military, and aerospace to their burgeoning influence in the IoT market—spanning industrial and medical applications—and the automotive sector's increasing dependence on advanced wireless solutions, the selection and demand for RF and microwave components with improved performance and integration have increased.

Depending on system requirements and application, advancements in RF and microwave components may be a blessing or a curse. The industry has seen availability affected by heightened demand and increased obsolescence. RF and microwave semiconductor designs can be challenging to perfect; once tested and certified, there is a strong preference to avoid changes. Managing the supply chain for RF and microwave components is critical for systems requiring long production and service lives. A simple device switch to an equivalent alternative can have unforeseen effects in an optimized design.

To ease RF and microwave device supply chain concerns, Rochester Electronics has partnered with leading suppliers to provide extended inventory support on active and obsolete lifecycle devices. These suppliers include Analog Devices, Ampleon, Infineon, NXP, Skyworks, Texas Instruments, Semtech, and u-blox. Product types range from discrete RF power transistors to highly integrated components and Wireless SOCs.

Rochester’s offering includes a significant selection of Analog Devices products. This strategic inventory was specifically established to provide extended coverage for Analog Devices’ and Rochester Electronics’ customers to support their long-lifecycle applications.
