Microsemi køber ekspert i timing-løsninger

Microsemi køber firmaet Symmetricom, der er en førende aktør inden for præcisions timing og frekvensteknologier (in english).

Microsemi have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Symmetricom. Headquartered in San Jose, Calif., Symmetricom is a world leading source of highly precise timekeeping technologies and solutions that enable next generation data, voice, mobile and video networks and services. The company also provides timekeeping in GPS satellites, national time references, and national power grids as well as in critical military and civilian networks.



- The acquisition of Symmetricom will create the largest and most complete timing portfolio in the industry today. From source to synchronization to distribution, Microsemi will offer an end to end timing solution for an expanded range of markets, driving increased dollar content opportunity and revenue growth, says James J. Peterson, Microsemi president and chief executive officer.



- The acquisition of Symmetricom by Microsemi will create a powerful combination, explains Elizabeth Fetter, Symmetricom’s chief executive officer.



- I believe Microsemi is the ideal company to leverage Symmetricom’s technology and capabilities further into the communications market along with the scale to accelerate the adoption of the company’s innovative new chip scale atomic clock (CSAC) technology into broader markets.
