What is the company's guidance for revenue growth in the 2021-Q4 quarter compared to the 2020-Q4 quarter
se Wi-Fi routers and those to more in real infrastructures like I mean in data centers or these communication between the data centers and the switchers and even towers. So the last years, our customers are pulling a lot of revenues. And this time, then we see all the other things are going like 5Gs and including the commercial Wi-Fi systems and then and -- where we play a critical role on these in these areas. And we see the expansions, and we will see a further -- continue to expand in the next few quarters.
Bernie Blegen -- Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Yes. I think we remain very optimistic about our long-term positioning within the communication sector and in particular, infrastructure as it relates to 5G. But I think that right now, we have not hit a constant investment cadence on the part of the carriers in either Europe or North America. So we think that as that starts to gain momentum and gets more predictable, we're very well positioned to participate in that.

Thanks for that color. I guess as my follow-up, seasonality versus kind of cyclicality and/or supply driven moves. Obviously, your fourth quarter has guided a bit better than your traditional seasonality kind of flattish this year. But how are you thinking about that as we go into next year and beyond? Is it mainly going to be driven by the product cycles you have in short supply in aggregate? So those would be big tailwinds? Or do you believe seasonality is going to become a framework that's something that investors should consider as we go into 2022?
Michael R. Hsing -- Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer
Well, Ross, you see the -- this market is an exceptionally strong market, I mean. And like I mean, a lot of demand is everywhere, so like I mean, also are constrained by the supply. And we do have a delinquencies. And I mean, but that's we're facing delinquency for many quarters, like I mean -- and for -- I think we still have the -- my opinion is that we still have some kind of seasonality in fourth quarters because all these holidays, all these and it will kind of affect us. And so we see the -- as I said earlier, we see the demand is still very strong. So like I mean we're just cautious, and we are on our guidance.
Ross Seymore -- Deutsche Bank -- Analyst
And just to add to that is that right now, what we are continuing to do is investing and expanding our capacity because we do believe that this robust demand that we're experiencing will continue, and we want to be able to participate, optimize to the best of our ability, this growth opportunity.
Michael R. Hsing -- Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes, let me clarify the shortages, OK. All these -- what I mean with shortage is that we have a few thousand products and always have some mixed issues. And as we don't have a serious -- we don't have fab capacity issues. And -- but all these are mixed in the -- for particular product that we may have -- we have a few products that have a -- are facing shortages now. So -- and as we transfer to a different fab, it just takes time to qualify this.
Ross Seymore -- Deutsche Bank -- Analyst
Got it. Thanks, guys.

Our next question is from Alex Vecchi of William Blair. Alex, your line is now open.
Alex Vecchi -- William Blair -- Analyst
Hey, guys. Congratulations on the strong results. Maybe just to piggyback on Ross' question a little bit with seasonality. Bernie, can you give a little color on how we should think about the sequential growth rate by end market for Q4 in terms of maybe strongest end market to weakest?
Bernie Blegen -- Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Sure. So, when you look at Q4, I think that the two primary drivers are going to be computing and continuation of automotive. And then you would normally expect and we expect to see a slight downturn in consumer.
So, I think many of the trend lines that we're familiar with are continuing and ongoing, but the amplitude mi
