Automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software maker, National Instruments (NI) has acquired Fremont-based BEEcube, which develops FPGA prototyping and development products for wireless research, wireless infrastructure and military/defense applications. BEEcube will operate as a wholly-owned NI subsidiary under the leadership of Chen Chang BEEcube’s founder and CEO and will continue to sell and support its products under the BEEcube brand through its direct and distributor channels.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) drives greater demand for data and an increasing number of connected devices, NI is excited to be at the forefront of research and prototyping tools for next-generation 5G wireless technology. NI and BEEcube share a common philosophy and vision of platform-based design, and we believe the combination of the two companies will strengthen our leadership position as 5G progresses toward commercialization.
Chen Chang, Founder & CEO, BEEcube
For many years, BEEcube has been at the forefront of technology innovation in telecommunications applications. By joining NI, we will have the resources to continue to drive 5G research and provide our customers solutions which enable infrastructure deployment on a global scale.
