Team Profile and Assessment


Part III: Agere Systems (2/4)

This year, our team was fortunate enough to be sponsored again by Agere Systems, an industry leader of advanced integrated circuit solutions that access, move and store network information.
Though Agere’s product line is wide and varied, it does not sell directly to consumers so you won’t recognize its name from Circuit City or Radio Shack, though its products are found inside most communication technology products and a number of PC products at stores that you have probably shopped at. Agere’s products are the building blocks from which the electronics you buy derive a lot of their usefulness and value.

The company also provides custom and standard multi-service networking solutions, such as broadband Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH components and wireless infrastructure chips, to move information across metro, wireless and enterprise networks. Agere is also considered the market leader in providing integrated circuits such as read-channel chips, preamplifiers and system-on-a-chip solutions for high-density storage applications. Additionally, Agere is the world’s second largest supplier of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC).
