Apple signed a new multiyear, multibillion-dollar agreement with Broadcom for 5G radio frequency components — including FBAR filters — and cutting-edge wireless connectivity components.
The FBAR filters will be designed and built in several key American manufacturing and technology hubs, including Fort Collins, Colorado, where Broadcom has a major facility woth more than 1,100 employees.
“We’re thrilled to make commitments that harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “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.”
Broadcom will continue to invest in critical automation projects and upskilling with technicians and engineers at the Fort Collins site.
