The creation of a new, operational home base in China is a milestone in OneChip’s growth as a global supplier. Furthermore, the deployment of OneChip’s customer and product support in China offers customers effective and speedy product support, as well as the availability of in-house samples, testing, debugging and demos.”
OneChip’s new Shenzhen regional office will house field application engineers, software customer support, and manufacturing and process support personnel who, with access to the on-site lab, will be able to respond quickly and provide readily available technical feedback. In addition, the housing of its own team of experts in China enables OneChip to not only understand the needs of current customers, but also be responsive to future needs and manage the reliability of its solutions offerings locally.
OneChip Photonics, which is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, develops and manufactures low- cost, high-performance optical transceivers – based on monolithic Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) in Indium Phosphide (InP) – for access networks and other mass-market broadband applications.
