Reducing PCB design cycle by 60%

The PCB design team on Alcatel Shanghai Bell’s recently introduced A7510 Media Gateway product was given only seven weeks to complete its task against an original estimate of 13 weeks. The article describes how the team added new members and adopted a concurrent design strategy to not merely meet but beat the tightened deadline. Specific […]

Learning the value of preparation and simulation by OSMOSIS

OSMOSIS is a super-fast optical switch developed through the Advanced Simulation and Computing program. The article describes the strategies adopted by the IBM team charged with designing the Central Scheduler board for the project. The design was of a far greater complexity than the team had previously encountered, and as a result, developed new pre-preparation […]
