    "Today, our R&D team is dedicated to developing innovative solutions leveraging wide bandgap technologies to address the RF design challenges of our customers and accelerate time-to-market for a wide range of applications, including military and public safety communications systems, radar, drones, jammers, and 5G cellular infrastructure," Shah added. He pointed out that the company had clients all over the world. "Chips designed in Kolkata and tested in the city will be fitted globally. The production may happen in Taiwan, but the basic design and engineering validation will be done here. Soon, we shall increase our headcount manifold at the Kolkata centre," he added.
