Broadcom – one of the world's largest fabless semiconductor companies – has opened a new design centre in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Broadcom – one of the worlds largest fabless semiconductor companies – has opened a new design centre in Copenhagen, Denmark. The centre – which is the companys first design facility in Europe - will develop technology for Broadcom's Mobile & Wireless Group, including 2G, 3G and Bluetooth handsets.
Broadcom said that it chose to base the centre in Copenhagen because of its close proximity to several of the world's leading cellular equipment manufacturers. The company also cited the citys "wealth of engineering talent" as a reason for establishing the facility there.
"The opening of this design centre expands our engineering capabilities to support our growing mobile and wireless business in Europe," said Robert Rango, group vice president of the Mobile & Wireless Group.
"The cellular and wireless markets represent large potential markets for Broadcom. Being strategically located near some of Europe's largest cellular equipment manufacturers will enable us to work more closely with them in developing next-generation mobile solutions."
Allan Haugsted of governmental body Invest in Denmark – which provided Broadcom with assistance in setting up the centre - said that the new facility would be a "great asset" for Denmark.
