NEC software development center rises in Taiwan

NEC Electronics Corp. has established a new center in Taiwan, which will be in-charge of the development of software for system LSI chips used in optical storage devices.

Anticipating growing demand for system LSI chips for use in Blu-ray disc recorders and players, the Japanese manufacturer picked Taiwan as the location for the software development center because many companies in the sector are based there.

With an initial workforce of about 10, the new center, named Taiwan Storage Technologies and Solutions, will also offer technical support services and undertake marketing activities.
