Altair Semiconductor, which is based in Israel, has opened a new office in India to be headed by industry veteran Salaj Sinha. The new facility will handle all Indian operations and provide business and technical support for prospective and current customers.
Altair offers one of the only commercially ready TD-LTE chipsets, including a single mode TD-LTE solution.
India is the third market, following China and Japan, where Altair has established a TD-LTE leadership position.
“We believe that India will be one of the largest and strongest growth markets for LTE and an on-the-ground presence in India will allow Altair to enhance support for our Indian customers, as well as enable us to effectively support the large scale field trials we are involved in, as we progress towards the commercialization of TD-LTE in India,” said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing and Business Development at Altair.
Recently, Altair successfully demonstrated real-life over-the-air simultaneous throughputs of 58Mbps down and 14Mbps up, becoming the first chip vendor to achieve such high performance on a commercial TD-LTE USB dongle.
