MANHASSET, N.Y. — Silicon Laboratories Inc. has acquired StackCom, a privately held company developing wireless protocol software stacks for GSM and GPRS mobile applications, for $7 million in cash.
The acquisition of StackCom provides Silicon Laboratories (Austin, Texas) with internal software stack capabilities enabling the integration of complete software solutions with future generations of Silicon Laboratories' AeroFONE single-chip phone.
"We're very excited to pair our software and systems expertise with Silicon Laboratories' well known AeroFONE platform," said Philippe Faurie, chief executive officer of StackCom, in a statement. "We have developed several generations of successful protocol stacks and bring an innovative and efficient software architecture to the Silicon Labs team."
Silicon Laboratories' family of AeroFONE single-chip phones offers a functional and completely integrated single-chip solution for the cell phone market. The AeroFONE supports a software stack strategy enabling customers to work with one of several stack partners or leverage their own internal solutions to develop a complete AeroFONE-based handset.
The transaction is expected to result in a one-time charge for purchased in-process R&D in the third quarter.
