with Actel will strengthen our IP core portfolio and allow us to take
advantage of a large customer base using products and technology from
one of the leading suppliers of programmable logic devices."
Mike Franco, CEO and founder of MicroBlade
"MicroTCA is poised to capture large shares in markets which need
low-cost, high-reliability, remotely-managed systems. I am pleased
to see Actel's commitment to support the MicroTCA design community
with Fusion and several comprehensive reference designs. An early semiconductor
entrant, Actel is well positioned to capture a significant share of
this promising market."
