The group will have a U.S.
design centre in Broomfield, Colo.
and a Far East design centre in Hong Kong.
European design centres will be located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Vienna, Austria.
In addition to the development of custom systems and products, these design teams will be able to leverage the company's extensive array of existing products and technologies.
Most applicable to the Global Wireless Division's charter will be Artesyn's world-class offering of DC/DC converters, front-end power supplies and experience with systems utilising distributed power architecture.
