Apple Inc. revealed it has teamed up with Broadcom Inc. for the development of 5G radio frequency parts in the United States. The companies signed a multi-billion deal for the partnership.
With the cooperation between the two firms, the semiconductor manufacturing company that designs, develops, and supplies an array of chip and infrastructure software products will make 5G radio frequency components, including the advanced wireless connectivity parts called the FBAR filters.
Broadcom will design and make the FBAR filters in some key manufacturing and technology hubs in the U.S., such as Colorado and Fort Collins, where the company is running a major facility. The company said that these components are different from Qualcomm-made 5G modems.
As per CNBC, Apple shared that its agreement with Broadcom is part of its commitment to invest $430 billion in the country. The iPhone maker made the pledge in 2021.
In any case, the latest deal between Apple and Broadcom marks the latest phase of their tie-up since the latter announced in 2020 that it would sell $15 billion worth of wireless components to the Cupertino, California-based tech company. Moreover, it was mentioned that Apple is already supporting over 1,100 jobs in Broadcom’s Fort Collins FBAR filter production plant.
“We are thrilled to make commitments that harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing,” Apple’s chief executive officer, Tim Cook, said in the announcement. “All of Apple’s products depend on technology engineered and built here in the United States, and we’ll continue to deepen our investments in the U.S. economy because we have an unshakable belief in America’s future.”
Meanwhile, shares of Broadcom reportedly soared by about three percent after the deal was announced. For Apple, its shares slightly dropped by less than one percent.
