NetComm Wireless has established its first research and development (R&D) facility outside of Australia with the launch of a new centre in Sunrise, Florida, United States.
The company said opening the new facility is a natural extension of its commitment to the US market, particularly in light of a recent major contract win within the US for its fixed wireless business.
The facility currently employs two teams of approximately 30 experienced software, hardware and radiofrequency (RF) engineers. The Sunrise location was chosen as it is a significant technology hub that is currently attracting a growing number of multinational companies. It also features a large pool of talented telecommunications engineers.
“NetComm Wireless has experienced tremendous growth in recent years and we will continue to invest in the R&D resources needed to accelerate the expansion of our business in the US and globally. Our new R&D centre will allow us to meet the specific needs of our US-based customers and partners, while strengthening our product design, development and testing capabilities,” said David Stewart, CEO and managing director of NetComm Wireless.
The company will also expand local R&D facilities in both Sydney and Melbourne.
