Our Bureau

The company has identified Ethernet as its new area of business.

Bangalore , Feb. 21

AGERE Systems has announced the opening of its new India Design Centre to expand its semiconductor design presence for which it plans to increase its staff strength to 400 from 200 now.

The new facility, set up at a cost of $25 million, would take on the responsibility of comprehensive strategic chip design, development and support to its parent company in the US.

Mr Jonathan Fields, Vice-President of Design Platforms, said the Bangalore centre would support the company's efforts in addressing the critical issue of chip design in such a manner as to address the issue of optimising the maximum output of data while reducing the size of the architecture.

He said efforts were on to improve the chip functioning in such a way that data capture lost in the noise in the disc drive could be retrieved by suitable architectural design. Mr Madhusudan V. Atre, Managing Director, Agere Systems India Pvt Ltd, said the company which focuses on key areas of mobile telecom, digital signal processors and storage chip solutions and enterprise network solutions with its software, tools design and application and semiconductor chip, has identified Ethernet for its new area of business.

It has been working on the project for the last 18 months and hopes to come out with support systems in design and architecture soon.
