"West Bay's plans require that we deploy scalable, secure and reliable systems to support rapid, on-going growth and expansion. Unilogik's responsiveness has served us extremely well in meeting our goals," Tino Varelas, president and co-founder of West Bay, said in a release.
Unilogik is a B.C. company that provides IT solutions ranging from multi-million dollar data centres to a single software licence.
West Bay also unveiled its lead product on Thursday, a new channelized framing processor that allows companies to build higher density network equipment that draws less power at a lower cost.
West Bay said the chip, called the WB1501, is the industry's first 16 x 155 Mbps framing processor for Synchronous Optical Network and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy -based systems.
The chip is based on a proprietary and scalable circuit architecture that allows West Bay to develop chips with higher density using fewer transistors. Networking systems companies can use the chip to build higher density, less power hungry equipment, at lower cost, the company said.
"The extraordinary density achieved in the WB1501 demonstrates West Bay's technological strengths and ability to develop unique solutions for broadband communications equipment," Varelas said. "The level of interest in the WB1501, from equipment manufacturers around the world, has been very strong."
West Bay is a privately-owned fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops and markets integrated circuits for optical communications network systems.
