Anadigics opens application center in Taiwan
"The Taiwan market represents enormous opportunity as industry trends continue to drive the migration of handset and WLAN terminal design activity to Asia," said Bami Bastani, CEO and president of Anadigics.
Bastani said that Anadigics has built strong relationships with leading Taiwanese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs).
“This new application center will provide greater depth of support to our existing customers as well as new customers in the region by providing local RF expertise for new platforms that rely on Anadigics leading RF products,” added Bastani.
Anadigics opened its first facility in Taiwan in Hsinchu in October 2002 to support manufacturing operations for its large customer base in the Asian wireless and broadband markets. The company located its new application center in Neihu in the heart of Taipei s high technology sector to strategically support major customers nearby.
The opening of the applications center supports Anadigics strategy to penetrate the large GSM handset market through reference designs featuring the company s new portfolio of quad-band GSM power amplifiers, highly integrated PowerPlexer front-end modules and PHEMT RF switch products.
"Our Denmark design center, which opened in 2002, has proven very effective in winning GSM reference designs,” said Bastani. “The opening of this applications center in Taiwan furthers our strategy to address the GSM wireless marketplace.”
Anadigics says that it has already been successful in staffing the Taiwan applications center with high-caliber experts in GSM, CDMA, and WLAN to provide superior service and unrivaled engineering consulting to customers in those high growth wireless markets.
