Celeritek to exit wireless amp biz

SANTA CLARA, Calif.-Celeritek Inc. said it is pulling out of the wireless amplifier business to focus its semiconductors on defense and other communications markets. The company hopes this decision will decrease its cash burn by between $14 million and $16 million a year.

“Excess capacity and increasing competition have created a challenging business environment and uncertain outlook for handset manufacturers and suppliers,” said the company.
