Intel group company Trillium Digital Systems Inc has set up a development center in Bangalore at an investment of $3.5 million.
Trillium, which was completely acquired by Intel in 1999 is the networking software division of Intel and is focused on developing software, protocols and source codes for the communications infrastructure and computer segment.
This development center is part of the company's strategy to enhance its presence in the Asia region and will complement its existing network of regional offices in Asia including Seoul, Korea, Tokyo, Japan and Shanghai.
Addressing the media, the company's president and COO Rich Cahalan said that as the convergence of infrastructure and services takes off, IP and ATM backbones would become predominant.
Trillium therefore would focus extensively on providing source codes, software, chips, boards, platforms and other professional services to the OEMs, Cahalan said.
Plans to provide integrated sub-solutions for products are also in the pipeline. India operations have been set on-stream with a team of 45 people which is expected to scale up to over 80 by the year end.
More investments in the center are also being planned for 2001-2002. Trillium posted total revenues of $32 million last fiscal.
