, Calif. -- InSilica Corp. today announced that is has surpassed the 2 millionth customer unit shipped, and continues to ramp high volume shipments and expand its growing customer base.

The company provides high value custom silicon solutions to a variety of high volume segments which require custom ASIC A redundant reference to an ASIC chip. ASICs are already customized for a specific use. See ASIC.  & SOC solutions that are pushing the specification boundaries of what standard solution providers can deliver. Additionally, through leveraging its unique Indo-US execution model and proprietary design IP, InSilica has been able to deliver these solutions at far lower development costs and reduced time-to-market than typical market leading suppliers are capable of. The combination of higher value with lower costs has resonated strongly in the market with the company acquiring customers in such high profile segments such as mobile phones, HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates  video processing Video processing techniques are used in video codecs, video players and other devices. For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. , high performance networking, and broadband wireless. The company is also developing standard mobile imaging solutions that will bring high end Digital Still Camera class photographic capability to mobile phones at lower cost and power consumption levels than any current imaging solution providers.

"Hitting the 2 million units shipped mark is a key milestone for InSilica and validation on our ability to deliver on complex ASICs which have aggressive specifications and volume ramps," stated Balaji Baktha, InSilica's President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
