Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator Instructions). Your first question comes from the line of Tore Svanberg from Thomas Weisel.
Tore Svanberg - Thomas Weisel
Yes, thank you and congratulations on the results. A couple of questions, can you talk a little bit more about visibility going into next quarter? Obviously, these are higher numbers than I was expecting. So I'm just wondering what visibility is the specialist forge of backlog and things like that?
Jim Peterson
That one is stronger than going into last quarter. Churn rates will actually be down from last quarter. If you remember last quarter Tore, we shipped some back-end equipment over to Ireland, that equipment is there, it's up, it's running, it's in place, where that was been to have successful. And some of our markets are stronger, more robust than we've thought going in. And the other markets, we're actually gaining market share penetration. So they will knock on wood, so business fundamentals are strengthening my friend.
Tore Svanberg - Thomas Weisel
So in that mean can you may be also elaborate on what areas will drive some of the growth in the quarter? Whether that's high rail versus high performance mixed signal or maybe even by segment what's going to be driving some of the growth?
Jim Peterson
Let me take a little bulk at it. Certainly when upside I think it's going to be in plan of a medical this next quarter Tore. At least two of the three of the incomes of that are reported are showing a more bullish stands and so is our backlog and I mentioned that first for the fact it's been at least four-five quarters since we are able to highlight that going into the quarter. Satellite once again remains strong. Overall, the bench market commercial air, we highlight the fact that Boeing is actually showing strength in aircraft, here the problem is oil. All we need is a more efficient aircrafts and airline to do that.
I will touch a little bit on the analog mix signal. Analog mix signal looks strong in some areas, we haven't little side-downtick, I mean [CJ] no big surprise. CJ is down this quarter, we'll be down next quarter for Microsemi. Of course semicap and the analog mix-single speak of it. We think the freefall kind of slowed, but I think it could be a long bottoming, that's not going to benefit us much. Probably the star performer was 802.11n.
