China Telecom Supplier Selects Mentor Graphics Design Software
November 3, 2005 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
WILSONVILLE, Ore. — ZTE, Ltd., a Chinese communication device maker and national wireless supplier, has purchased Mentor Graphics Corp.'s XtremePCB software. Available as part of Mentor's Expedition Enterprise flow, XtremePCB facilitates a team design environment, allowing multiple members of a PCB design team to work simultaneously on a design from a single database on a global network. This team design environment is said to significantly reduce ZTE's design cycle time to meet faster time-to-market demands.
"Xtreme PCB is an innovative and unique technology, utilizing cooperative parallel design in real-time," says Liu Zhang, EDA director for ZTE. "XtremePCB provides a new platform for design process management, rational allotment of specialized design resources and can coordinate projects done in global dispersed locations. It is a new, highly efficient solution to break the time limit of bursting PCB design tasks."
"Previous design collaboration methodologies required lengthy and error-prone sessions to resynchronize parallel efforts of PCB design," says Henry Potts, vice president and general manager, System Design Division, Mentor Graphics. "With XtremePCB, Mentor has answered a challenge posed by our customers who asked for a tool that allowed simultaneous changes from multiple team members. For our customers like ZTE, with aggressive time-to-market goals and either large, global design teams or technology specialized design resources, XtremePCB enables real-time, automated feedback for complex, PCB designs incorporating diverse design technologies."
