White Mountain Labs Announces Partnership with SRF Technologies
PHOENIX (April 30, 2007) - White Mountain Labs (WML), the innovative leader in test and characterization of advanced technologies, announced today the company’s formal partnership with SRF Technologies.
SRF Technologies provides companies in the semiconductor industry with the I/O and ESD design support that enables the delivery of world-class product solutions. Because not every engineering and design company has the I/O and ESD expertise necessary to meet product and customer demands, SRF Technologies provides an ideal solution to this gap by supplying services that help meet these needs. By partnering with SRF Technologies, the Center for ESD has added an important element to what it can offer customers in regards to design and diagnostic support when troubleshooting ESD issues.
“Making the decision to partner with a proven industry expert that provides assistance with handling ESD design issues is an outstanding move for our company and will be a mutually beneficial relationship,” said Dr. Brenda McCaffrey, president of WML. “By partnering with SRF Technologies, White Mountain Labs is able to expand outside our core ability of creating a very simple, clear understanding of test results.”
Stephen Fairbanks, founder of SRF Technologies, has nearly a decade of experience designing systems and products to interface to each other while withstanding the rigors of ESD and EMI susceptibility. Fairbanks brings a unique and honed skill set that his customers and WML can leverage.
“Excellence in design cannot only be based on understanding design principles themselves, but must also include a critical, broader knowledge with a solid foundation of test and characterization capabilities,” Fairbanks said. “White Mountain Labs is a proven and recognized industry leader in test and characterization of ESD. Our customers will benefit greatly by our alliance with the staff and capabilities of White Mountain Labs.”
