White Mountain Labs Opens The Center for ESD.Company Opens New Facility in the Phoenix Tech Center PHOENIX -- White Mountain Labs, the innovative leader in test and characterization of advanced technologies, announced today the opening of its new facility, The Center for ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL. . The 19,400 square-foot building, located in the Phoenix Tech Center was custom-built to the specifications of White Mountain Labs and will be the focal point focal point n. See focus. of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and latch-up testing worldwide. Approximately half of the new building is occupied by White Mountain Labs and includes a 4,000 square-foot test facility with state-of-the-art conductive flooring, which is essential for consistent ESD testing of semiconductor components. The second half of the building has more than 9,400 square-feet of office and lab space fully prepared for immediate occupancy. "We're thrilled to be part of the continuing emergence of Arizona's technology community. The completion of The Center for ESD marks a milestone in the progress White Mountain Labs has made," said Dr. Brenda McCaffrey, President of White Mountain Labs. "The prime location of the facility partnered with the cutting-edge test environment enables us to offer innovative services to our customers, which will allow for the continued growth of the Company." Financed through a combination of commercial and SBA SBA abbr. Small Business Administration Noun 1. SBA - an independent agency of the United States government that protects the interests of small businesses and ensures that they receive a fair share of government loans, the Center for ESD is located on one of the last remaining lots in the Phoenix Tech Center. Providing easy access to both the East Valley high-tech corridor and Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Sky Harbor Airport is the name for several airports including:
Conveniently located within the Valley of the Sun, the Center for ESD enables excellent access to top-notch engineering and manufacturing talent, which will permit White Mountain Labs to proceed with the plan to double its engineering staff in the next 18 months. About White Mountain Labs White Mountain Labs was founded in December 1999 by Brenda McCaffrey, Ph.D., based on the conviction that a systematic approach to highly technical, "niche" semiconductor testing could produce clear data enabling engineers to be successful in developing innovative products. White Mountain Labs is a prototype lab system for test and characterization of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Latch-up in Integrated Circuits. More than 5,000 projects have been successfully completed for more than 100 semiconductor companies in the past 7 years, including numerous customers in the UK, Europe and Israel. White Mountain Labs is an ISO (1) See ISO speed.
