\"Synaptics<\/p>\n

The center expands Synaptics\u2019 European presence and leverages a strong base of local analog and RF expertise to advance the state-of-the-art in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for the IoT.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Synaptics\u00ae Incorporated<\/a> (Nasdaq: SYNA<\/a>) today announced the opening of a wireless research and development center in the Sophia Antipolis technology park in southeast France. Focused on Wi-Fi\u00ae and Bluetooth\u00ae hardware and software development, the facility will serve as a hub for the design of Synaptics\u2019 next-generation short-range wireless connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur wireless connectivity technology is an essential differentiator for us as we continue to expand into high-growth IoT applications which now represent our largest revenue category,\u201d said Synaptics\u2019 CEO, Michael Hurlston<\/strong>. \u201cThe center adds to the investments Synaptics has already made in wireless, including the acquisition of Broadcom\u2019s Wireless IoT Business<\/a> in 2020 and the more recent acquisition of DSP Group<\/a>, with its ULE and Bluetooth technology. Synaptics has already put together a team at the new center with a combined 130 years of experience and is looking to add talent as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new development center expands Synaptics\u2019 presence in Europe where it already has offices in Poland, Denmark, the UK, Germany, and Switzerland.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocating an engineering center here makes strategic sense on many levels,\u201d said Venkat Kodavati, SVP and Chief Product Officer at Synaptics.<\/strong> \u201cFrance offers an extremely supportive environment to help scale operations for fast-growing technology companies like Synaptics, and Sophia Antipolis is a well-known hotbed of innovation, particularly in the areas of analog and RF circuit design. The Synaptics France team will be a vital part of our global R&D efforts and we are very excited to become an integral part of the technology community here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt is a pleasure to welcome Synaptics\u2014an innovative, global technology developer\u2014to tap the depth of talent and infrastructure benefits our region offers,\u201d said <\/strong>Philippe Servetti, CEO of<\/strong> Invest in C\u00f4te d’Azur<\/strong>, a public body dedicated to helping companies to quickly get established in France. <\/span>\u201cThe C\u00f4te d’Azur region is increasingly recognized as a center of excellence for semiconductor design, and Synaptics\u2019 track record of success and highly respected engineering capabilities, particularly in the area of wireless and the IoT, will be a perfect fit for our ecosystem here.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Synaptics offers a range of advanced wireless connectivity solutions for the IoT<\/a>, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ULE, Zigbee, and GNSS technology. Its high-performance, low-power solutions help engineer exceptional experiences in the home, in the car, on the go, and at the office. It recently announced its innovative Triple Combo\u2122<\/a> platform that combines three wireless interfaces\u2014Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, and IEEE 802.15.4\u2014with support for Thread, Zigbee, and Matter. The three radios come on a single chip to enable integration and interoperability across heterogenous devices and networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
