WOBURN, Mass. and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
     --(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2002--

SKYWORKS BECOMES AN INDUSTRY LEADING WIRELESS SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANY FOR MOBILE
COMMUNICATIONS

     Alpha Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AHAA) and Conexant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:
CNXT) today announced that the merger of Alpha and Conexant's wireless business
to create Skyworks Solutions, Inc. has been completed. The new company's common
stock will begin trading today on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker
symbol "SWKS."

     Skyworks begins operations as the industry's leading wireless semiconductor
company focused on radio frequency (RF) and complete semiconductor system
solutions for mobile communications applications. Skyworks has an established
leadership position in such critical product areas as RF switches and power
amplifiers modules. In addition, the company is uniquely positioned to drive the
evolution of RF integration for all major air interfaces, including code
division multiple access (CDMA) and global system for mobile communications
(GSM), as well as complete semiconductor and software solutions for advanced
2.5G and 3G applications.

     "We are simply delighted to launch Skyworks today -- a leader in mobile
communications semiconductors," said David J. Aldrich, Skyworks' president and
chief executive officer. "Our product breadth, technologies, manufacturing
strength, and customer relationships make us an ideal partner for today's
handset and base station manufacturers. This advantage translates into faster
time-to-market, lower cost and smaller more feature-rich products for
consumers."

     "With a winning combination of critical technologies and products, Skyworks
begins life today with a very promising future," said Dwight W. Decker,
Skyworks' chairman of the board, and chairman and chief executive officer of
Conexant. "Skyworks' leadership position in front-end modules, RF subsystems and
complete cellular solutions enables the company to deliver best-in-class
components and systems to all of the industry's key handset and base station
manufacturers."

     Skyworks will employ approximately 3,850 people worldwide, including
approximately 1,900 located at the company's semiconductor assembly, module
manufacturing and test operation in Mexicali, Mexico. The company has design,
engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and service facilities throughout
North America, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific.
