GigOptix to Acquire Endwave
In California, electronic and
electro-optic components provider GigOptix Inc. of Palo Alto has signed a definitive
merger agreement to acquire Endwave Corp. of San Jose, a provider of radio-frequency
solutions and semiconductor products for the wireless mobile backhaul and satellite
communications, electronic instruments, and defense and security markets. Retaining
the name GigOptix Inc., the combined companies will provide high-speed products
in both wireless mobile backhaul and optical networks. They will leverage Endwave’s
manufacturing and GigOptix’s high-speed fiber optic front-end technology to
provide solutions for next-generation 100- and 400-Gb/s drivers and electro-optic
subsystems. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of this year.
