LONDON – Intel has been revealed as the purchaser of the connectivity and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) business unit of ST-Ericsson NV (Geneva, Switzerland), a failed joint venture in mobile phone chips.
ST-Ericsson is due to be closed down in the third quarter of 2013 at an expected cost to parent of STMicroelectronics NV of between $350 million and $450 million.
