Optichron Names Juan C. Garcia to Vice President of Marketing Position.Signal Processing and Systems Technology Expert to Lead Wireless Market Expansion for Nonlinear Signal Processing Leader FREMONT, Calif. -- Optichron, Inc., the leader in Nonlinear Signal Processing (NSP (1) (Network Service Provider) An organization that provides a high-speed Internet backbone to ISPs and other service providers. Sprint, MCI and UUNET are examples of NSPs. See Internet backbones. ), today named Juan C. Garcia as Vice President of Marketing. Garcia brings to the company a 17-year track record in the development of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit A mixed-signal integrated circuit combines analog circuits with digital signal processing (DSP) circuits on a single semiconductor die. An integrated circuit that includes both analog and digital circuitry (but no DSP), like a 555 timer, is generally not considered a mixed-signal products and the management of system-level solutions for the communications market. He will lead the introduction and support of new integrated circuits and related products built on Optichron's proprietary Turbolinear[TM] NSP technology, which eliminates the naturally-occurring nonlinear distortion that degrades all types of signals. Customers are makers of signal processing systems that can benefit from cleaner signals to realize large gains in performance, cost, and efficiency; including wireless systems such as cellular 3G, mobile WiMAX, GPS, automotive anti-collision radar, and Software Defined Radio A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported. (SDR See software defined radio. ). "Optichron is very pleased to introduce Juan Garcia to lead our marketing team." said Perry Constantine, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Optichron. "His experience across the spectrum of technology development, engineering support, and delivering system-level solutions is well aligned with Optichron's plans to meet the needs of wireless systems designers looking for a boost to their own innovations." "Optichron has achieved a breakthrough in Turbolinear Nonlinear Signal Processing (NSP) technology that will be pivotal in advancing signal processing systems to the next levels of features and cost-to-performance ratios," said Garcia., "so I am delighted with the opportunity to expand the marketing of this key innovation that will help to excite the growth of emerging wireless markets." Previously Garcia had served in systems engineering management and product development roles for Texas Instruments; as director of sales and business development for TelASIC Communications; and as director of product marketing engineering and in several engineering capacities for Harris Semiconductor/Intersil Corporation. He earned a BSEE BSEE abbr. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of South Florida • • [ . About Optichron Optichron, the leader in Nonlinear Signal Processing (NSP), delivers advanced semiconductor products and intellectual property based on patented algorithms that provide significant improvements in system-level efficiency for communications, consumer and industrial markets. The company's proprietary Turbolinear[TM] technology corrects for nonlinear distortion, a problem present in all signal processing systems, thus enabling higher signal quality for the implementation of faster, more efficient and lower cost systems. The company is currently engaged in developing integrated circuits, ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. cores and FPGAs.
