Stacy FenderI see that [ product development ] in a big way in Korea , Stacy Fender , Xilinx area sales director told Asian Sources Electronics Engineer last October.My country manager in Korea tells me that there's tons of redesign work going on right now.They are looking at these systems that they are not selling and they are saying : how can we make them cheaper , better , and faster?.Taiwan has also stepped up product development , taking a more aggressive stance since it now sees the opportunity to grab some of Korea's business during the upswing in economy.
This trend is good for the test and measurement ( T&M ) industry because testing , which traditionally followed design , now starts very early in the design process.Moreover , China's rapidly growing telecommunication industry , deregulation in Taiwan , and cable and satellite projects in Korea , Singapore , Thailand and Malaysia will provide the test industry a shot in the arm.
