Dear readers,

In this APEX issue of OnBoard Technology, we’ve focused on an item which is very close to all of us; so close in fact, that you probably have it in your pocket as you are reading this magazine: mobile phones. Specifically we would like to talk about the trends in the mobile phone manufacturing industry.

Today, mobiles have a range of diverse functions and are becoming ubiquitous, even among lower-end target groups. Trends towards miniaturisation and shorter product lifecycles are forcing manufacturers to find more advanced production solutions. Not only this, but the rapidly evolving technology in phones is putting the onus on manufacturers to become more specialised and innovative in their whole approach, a fact only compounded by the ever-smaller profit margins with which companies must work. One major EMS company and one electronic materials supplier will share their knowledge on the evolution of this industry.
