Accelerating in Asia

Motorola has announced the opening of two new Research and Design centres in its key Asian markets of India and Taiwan. The centres are located in Bangalore and Taipei and, according to Motorola, ‘represent a significant commitment to technology development in Asia and Pacific markets.’

The new R&D centre in Bangalore brings under one roof the research and development capabilities of Motorola’s Core Networks Division and Embedded Communications Computing, both part of Motorola Networks.

The centre’s focus will be to work on new telecom switching technologies and products across CDMA and GSM/UMTS networks, as well as develop products for a new class of computer, the communications server. Encompassing over 117,000 square feet, the centre is the second largest Motorola R&D facility in India.

Motorola’s first R&D facility in India was launched in 1991 in Bangalore. Hyderabad is the location of two additional Motorola R&D sites for Embedded Communications Computing and Global Software Group.
