Synad has begun an international expansion programme with new offices in Asia, Europe and the USA.
The company has moved into a new headquarters and engineering facility in Reading UK.
The 1000m2 facility houses Synad's management team, product development teams as well as European sales and support staff.
Synad has strengthened it worldwide presence and commitment to customers in Asia and the USA, with the opening of two new offices in Taipei, Taiwan and Irvine, California.
These facilities will provide local marketing, sales and application engineering support in each region.
"Radio licensing authorities around the world are releasing both 2.4 and 5GHz spectrum to facilitate the emergence of IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and the draft IEEE802.11g, as global standards, and the volumes of product shipments we're seeing shows that the WLAN market is undoubtedly global.
It is important therefore that WLAN vendors take an international approach to sales, marketing and engineering support", said Allen Nogee, Senior Analyst, In-Stat/MDR.
The international rollout comes as Synad completes its Mercury5G dual-band WLAN solution that enables roaming and connectivity across 2.4 and 5GHz wireless networks.
Mercury5G delivers connectivity and interoperability between 802.11a, 802.11b and the draft 802.11g standards.
"Synad has been heavily focused on developing Mercury5G over these last few months.
We are now building an international infrastructure to meet our customer requirements.
Whilst Synad's research and development effort is driven out of Europe, demand for our product is worldwide.
Our new international facilities will enable us to deliver the sales service and support our customers expect", said Mike Baker, CEO, Synad.
