Avago unveils OFN order
A new $40 million OFN order has been announced by Avago.
Avago Technologies has announced a new $40 million (£25.9 million) order for its Optical Finger Navigation (OFN) active components.
The company has stepped up its OFN development programmes in the last 18 months and as, a result, has secured a significant order from an unnamed OFN module manufacturer.
Khin-Mien Chong, Avago s vice-president and general manger for navigation interface devices, said: "This order confirms Avago as the leading developer and manufacturer of optical navigation sensors for a host of applications, including mobile platforms."
He added that the order is a vindication of the company s decision to increase its development in this area.
The firm specialises in the production of III-V compound and silicon semiconductor technology, as well as analogue, mixed-signal and optoelectronics components and subsystems.
Its products have a range of applications - predominantly in the fields of wireless communications, wired infrastructure, industrial and automotive electronics and consumer and computing peripherals.
