Silicon Image Expands Shanghai Research and Development Center to Serve Growing China and Global Customer Base
SHANGHAI–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Silicon Image (NAS: SIMG) , a leading provider of HD connectivity solutions today announced the expansion of its Shanghai research and development (R&D) center to support the increased demand for the Company’s mobile technologies in China and other Asia-Pacific regions. The expanded Silicon Image Electronics Technology Shanghai facility, which also functions as the head office for Silicon Image in China, employs approximately 150 people in engineering, sales and support positions. Engineering efforts at this location are focused on advanced connectivity technologies for mobile and consumer electronics devices. Silicon Image also operates a sales office in Shenzhen, China. The Shanghai R&D center is one of three world-class engineering sites operated by Silicon Image worldwide; two other centers are located in Sunnyvale, CA, USA and Hyderabad, India.
“We opened the Shanghai R&D center in 2008 and have seen the R&D team become an integral part of our global engineering group as well as a key contributor to new technology developments,” said Camillo Martino, chief executive officer at Silicon Image, Inc. “Shanghai, with its highly skilled workforce, excellent university system and first-rate infrastructure, has proven to be an ideal location to serve our customers in China, who integrate our technologies into innovative mobile and consumer electronics products for this dynamic and vibrant marketplace.”

Get ready for a ridiculous boost in wireless networking speed. Two camps are competing to deliver wireless components that are at least seven times faster than today’s gigabit (IEEE 802.11ac) routers. By harnessing spectrum in the unlicensed 60GHz frequency band, these devices will be capable of offering more bandwidth than hardwired USB 3.0 connections.
The contest conjures memories of the VHS-Betamax wars, with one exception: One side has been shipping products for more than a year, and the other side isn’t expected to deliver certified products until sometime next year. Although the two technologies could coexist, I think only one will ultimately prevail.
The WirelessHD Consortium, led by chip maker Silicon Image, is the team behind the products selling today. The Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig), led by chip makers Marvell and Wilocity, won’t kick off its certification program until 2014, but that hasn’t stopped one manufacturer from shipping an uncertified WiGig device early.
Don’t worry—you didn’t just waste $200 on a new router. In its early stages, 60GHz technology will be present only in point-to-point networks, such as hardware for streaming media from a PC to an HDTV, or wirelessly connecting your laptop to a desktop docking station.
