On the same day, the new Karnataka State IT and Biotechnology Minister, M.N.Vidyashankar, went on record to say that Bangalore would be completely WiMAX-enabled from January 2007. At the developer conference, Intel extolled the contribution of Indian engineers at the India R&D centre, the largest for Intel outside the US. “The Bangalore centre has played a significant role in the development of Santa Rosa, our fourth generation of mobile platform set to be launched in January 2007,” said Shmuel (Mooly) Eden, senior vice-president and general manager, Intel’s Mobility Group. Bangalore was also becoming an important centre for future development of its ultra mobile (more portable/lighter) computers and “We expect a large portion of development work in server processors to be driven out of India,” he said. Earlier, delivering the keynote address to a packed audience of developers, Patrick Gelsinger, senior vice-president (digital enterprise group), Intel Corp, said the India R&D Centre has already contributed to the server processor line and the centre would continue to play a critical role in future technology development. |
