NewLogic Invests in Future for 4G Technologies
March 25, 2003
NewLogic Technologies, a worldwide supplier of intellectual property
(IP) cores and design services for wireless technology, announced
today the opening of their new design center in the heart of Munich,
Germany.
With this new design center, NewLogic Technologies plan to extend
their current product and technology offering of Bluetooth and wireless
LAN solutions with investments in the new 4G wireless technologies,
which offer a lower cost and/or higher performance alternative to
3G systems. With a 4G solution it is possible to integrate different
modes of wireless communications from indoor networks such as wireless
LANs and Bluetooth, to cellular, to radio and TV broadcasting or
to satellite communications. The new 4G technologies allow a seamless
merger, so that users of mobile devices can roam freely from one
standard to another.
Within the wireless industry, 4G digital IP-based high-speed cellular
systems are anticipated to account for 14% of total mobile wireless
data revenues in 2007 and 50 million subscribers by the end of 2007.
It has also been forecasted that 4G infrastructure sales could reach
up to $5.3 billion during 2007.
"We see the opportunities afforded to the Semiconductor and Silicon
Intellectual Property industry through 4G wireless solutions to
be huge in the next few years", says Hans Peter Metzler, President
and CEO of NewLogic Technologies.
With the opening of the Munich Design Center, NewLogic is now present
in all major semiconductor sites. The center boasts initially a
staff of 12 design-engineers and systems architects under the direction
of Axel Jahnke, Manager.
"The opening of a Design Center in Germany is a continuation of
our strategy to develop local representative offices in our key
markets. For us, the decision to base the Design Center in Munich
was an easy one due to the available infrastructure as well as the
proximity of a vast resource of qualified design specialists", says
Axel Jahnke.
"With the Design Center located in Munich, NewLogic will have direct
access into the center of mobile wireless technology possibilities",
adds Hans Peter Metzler, "which will be important in the near future,
as we see 4G wireless technologies come to the fore."
