UBINETICS: Bangalore 3G firm smashes first year growth targets UbiNetics


Jan 21, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Just one year after opening,
UbiNetics` Bangalore operation has emerged as a major R&D centre for the global
3G technology firm.

UbiNetics now employs a team of 90 highly skilled engineers. Several new
projects are being planned for the India centre in 2003 and will increase the
team size to 150 within the next six months.

The PA Consulting spin-off, headquartered in the UK, has a network of R&D
facilities around the world. However, the Indian facility is playing a key role
in many of its projects. These include the development of UMTS and GSM/GPRS
protocols for multi-mode protocol software, development of EDGE software and
working on the company`s latest Load Tester product. The Load Tester enables
network operators to `stress-test` their networks, assessing the network`s
ability to support large call volumes.

"The India staff have earned a good name for the centre through their hard-work
and diligence. This has resulted in UbiNetics looking to the India centre for
starting many new projects. This trend is set to continue and we are proud to be
playing a key role in the growth of the company," said Madan Mohan Raj,
vice-president R&D, India.

"The R&D centre in Bangalore has made a substantial contribution in the last
year to the performance of the business and we are keen to grow the team even
further to achieve our product road-map milestones," said Bjorn Krylander, CEO
at UbiNetics.

"UbiNetics not only benefits from a ready supply of highly trained engineers to
keep up with burgeoning demand, but also Bangalore`s close proximity to the
lucrative Chinese market."
