FORT MYERS, FL—June 8, 2010—Interop Technologies, a provider of core solutions for messaging, device management, and connectivity gateways, today announced that it will provide Open Mobile, based in Puerto Rico, with its hosted CDMA OTA solution. The implementation will enable Open Mobile to automate point-of-sale activations with high accuracy, improve customer satisfaction, and virtually eliminate activation errors and related costs.

The hosted deployment allows Open Mobile to take advantage of leading-edge technology while reducing costs associated with capital expenditures and additional resources to manage the service. In addition, the hosted solution can be launched rapidly, enabling Open Mobile to more quickly realize a return on investment.  

Open Mobile will utilize the Interop Technologies OTA solution to activate devices available on its current network, as well as more complex devices that will become available on the company’s 3G network. “The Interop Technologies OTA solution will help us meet customer demands as we continue to introduce advanced devices by providing seamless activation and provisioning of all devices available on our network,” said Frank Bell, President and COO, Open Mobile.

“The Interop Technologies OTA solution will help streamline Open Mobile’s activation process and increase success rates, as well as accommodate future growth,” said Tony Mijares, Senior Vice President, International Sales, Interop Technologies.

Open Mobile selected the Interop Technologies solution because of the company’s experience and knowledge hosting OTA solutions for other operators. Open Mobile and Interop Technologies will work together to ensure that the OTA solution integrates easily into Open Mobile’s existing infrastructure.

Open Mobile plans to launch the OTA solution during third quarter, 2010.

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 8, 2010 — Magma® Design Automation (Nasdaq: LAVA), a provider of chip design software, today announced a collaborative effort with MagmaTies Partner SynTest Technologies, Inc., provider of design-for-test (DFT) solutions, to integrate SynTest DFT PRO Plus products into Magma’s Talus® RTL-to-GDSII IC design flow. The integration complements Magma’s scan-based DFT methodology and mutual customers have validated the flow. 

“This fully integrated IC design flow means we can handle large, complex designs through final tapeout with ease, and reduce development cycles,” said Josh Lee, president and chief executive officer of Uniquify. “It has clear benefits for designers because it preserves Magma’s productivity advantages in verification and low power, as well as in SynTest’s strengths in debug, diagnosis and ATE links.” 

By combining Magma’s Talus Design RTL synthesis tool with DFT PRO Plus, design teams have a seamless link between fast, high-capacity logic synthesis and fast turnaround from register transfer level (RTL) through DFT analysis, insertion, test generation and verification. It includes a scan insertion capability using Talus Design, and exhaustive DFT analysis and auto-fix using SynTest TurboCheck-RTL/Gate. The integration adds an IEEE-compliant boundary-scan insertion, as well as memory BIST using SynTest TurboBSD and TurboBist-Memory, respectively. The integration gives design teams using Talus Design a seamless way to connect to SynTest’s VirtualScan™ ATPG test-vector compression technologies to generate XtremeCompact™ manufacturing vectors for commercial testers. 

“We use Magma’s Talus RTL-to-GDSII tools and SynTest’s test technology extensively in developing our latest devices,” said Jacques Martinella, vice president of engineering of Sigma Designs. “This new tighter integration of SynTest’s test technology in the Magma IC design flow will enable us to improve our productivity and turnaround times while providing new capabilities that help us improve the testability of our advanced designs.”
