Ethertronics, a leading provider of standard and customized embedded antenna solutions for wideband and multi-band wireless devices, today announced that its design center in Taipei, Taiwan is fully operational. The company's Taiwanese presence will enable mobile device manufacturers to capitalize on Ethertronics' antenna expertise coupled with premier in-country design teams and logistics support.
Ethertronics Taiwan Design Center, located in the Nei-Hu District Industrial Park, is equipped with a 3 Dimensional Active Test Chamber, capable of performing detailed test measurements across all of the cellular radio frequencies (800/900/1700/1800/1900/2100), as well as supporting other applications such as GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, and WiMax. Ethertronics has standardized on a common active test chamber configuration for all of its locations, which enhances the design collaboration with other design centers as well as key OEM/ODM customers in Taiwan and Korea.
Previously, Ethertronics had been supporting the Taiwanese market and top tier OBM/ODM customers from its San Diego, CA and Seoul, Korea design centers.
"Collaborative design engagements require localized antenna design teams to facilitate the information flow and iterative nature of antenna development," said Jeffrey Crosby, President and CEO of Ethertronics. "Since many handset designs from Taipei are built on the mainland, this new design center enables Ethertronics to create high performance antenna solutions that will also benefit from low-cost, high-volume production built at our China Manufacturing Center. As Ethertronics continues its rapid sales growth, our ability to improve our in-country presence for key customers is a critical part of sustaining our expansion and promoting the success of our valued customers."
