Keysight (KEYS) to Advance Silicon-to-System Interoperability

Keysight Technologies, Inc. KEYS recently joined the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) Technology Interoperability Trajectory Advisory Council (“TITAN”).

TITAN is a leadership forum focused on accelerating ecosystem collaboration with technology interoperability for silicon-to-system success.

TITAN serves as the technology advisor to the Si2 board of directors, which forwards proposals to Si2 technology teams for action plans.

Keysight’s leaders participate in the TITAN executive council and its subcommittees. Niels Fache, vice president and general manager for Keysight’s PathWave Software Solutions, joins the 15-member TITAN executive council.

Si2 creates innovative electronic design automation (EDA) tools and system interoperability initiatives that serve Keysight’s customers in the semiconductor and electronics systems industries.

The TITAN membership reflects Keysight’s commitment to contributing to technology interoperability and supporting industry standards within its PathWave workflows.

TITAN’s goal is to accelerate time to market by fostering innovation through industry collaboration. The council explores technology interoperability gaps between EDA suppliers, cloud providers, foundries, semiconductor and silicon-to-system companies.

Keysight brings a critical perspective to TITAN from its vertical market expertise in delivering software-centric solutions that address radio frequency and microwave applications.

Keysight is witnessing growth in both Communications Solutions Group and Electronic Industrial Solutions Group segments. The Santa Rosa, CA-based company is likely to benefit from industry-wide growth and a strong pipeline of new business bookings.
