Arima Communications reportedly has received a large-volume handset order from a US-based handset vendor with shipments to begin at the end of the second quarter of 2010, according to industry sources.

With the newly received orders, Arima is expected to ship a total of 16-20 million handsets in 2010 compared to 11.64 million units shipped in 2009.

For the first half of 2010, Arima may be just able to ship 5-6 million handsets, mainly to LG Electronics (LGE), said the sources. However, the company's handset shipments are expected to more than double in the second half compared to the first half thanks to shipments to Sony Ericsson and the US-based vendor, the sources added.
