PROFILE |
 |
Vitesse (French for "speed") Semiconductor's chips rely on swiftness, not finesse. The company is a leading manufacturer of high-speed gallium arsenide (GaAs) integrated circuits, which, although harder to make, perform at higher speeds than silicon chips. Vitesse's chips are primarily used in communications and automated test equipment, with almost 90% of sales to makers of high-speed communications and networking equipment such as Lucent (15% of sales), Alcatel, Cisco, Ericsson, and IBM. About three-fourths of Vitesse's sales are in the US. The company has acquired Orologic (data packet processing chips) and SiTera (network processing hardware and software).
