Broadcom-India expands its facilities
in Bangalore and Hyderabad
Broadcom's Indian operations have undergone further expansion.
Broadcom has expanded and upgraded its facilities in Bangalore
and Hyderabad. Broadcom-India currently employs over 500
engineers at locations in Hyderabad and Bangalore, which
they say represent one of the company's largest engineering
concentrations outside of the U.S.; a similar situation
as with many other semiconductor companies based in U.S.
"This expansion of our facilities in both cities demonstrates
Broadcom's commitment and recognition of India as a key
contributor to Broadcom's growth globally," said Rajiv
Kapur, managing director of Broadcom India. "Broadcom
India's engineers are key members of our global engineering
teams for a number of our products and have played an integral
role in our global business success."
Rajiv Ramaswami, Executive VP and General Manager of Network
Infrastructure Group, Broadcom said in an earlier interview
with our editor "We have a full complete chip design
team. The team here will feel exactly like a team we have
in the US. When you talk about mobile data coming through
the backhaul - whether it is 2G or 3G - there is more backhaul
transferred - the backhaul traffic is all going to the Ethernet
and at the end we are using our chips - all these chips
are being done (designed) here."
The release says, VLSI functions in Bangalore touch all
aspects of a chip from architecture and spec, through front-end
and back-end design, to post-silicon characterization and
bring up.
The 175,000 square-foot Bangalore Center and 48,000 square-foot
Hyderabad Center are into development of chips, software
and reusable IP.
