Moore’s Law Electronics evolve exponentially • Both Logic speed & complexity(the number of functions per chip)double every 18 months • Driven by fabrication technology • Demand for network capacity growths even faster!
What is microelectronics? System built from severalpackaged chips Chip, or Integrated Circuit, in opened package
Chip, also called die Fabrication of Integrated Circuits Wafer, a discof silicon
The Technology is a Methodology PowerfulNetworkingArchitectures SwitchCore’sCXE-technology Simple and RegularSilicon Structures
SwitchCore’s Unique Edge Networking PowerthroughSilicon Simplicity
Step-by-step development • Four-step process • Each step results in a prototype • Simulation, evaluation and improvement
First generation products • CXE-16; Wire speed IP-switch/router for 16 ports running Gigabit Ethernet on single chip • Well ahead of competition • Complementary and companion products to address other market segments • Limited scalability
Marketing Strategy • Strategic Relationships • Customers • Partners • Industry Analysts • Media • Marketing Communications (Marcom) • Contributed Articles • Quotes in Articles • Trade Shows • World Wide Web
Business Development Strategy • Focused development on the market leaders • Build / Continue Relationships with key decision makers at each customer site • Provide a high interaction experience • Frequent person to person contact • Provide prompt technical support • Have highly trained support personnel
Sales Process • Five phases to sales process • Each phase has a definite start and stop point • All phases must be completed for a design win (sale) to be complete
Phase 1 - The Introduction • Initial first level of meeting • Show non-confidential presentation • Judge level of interest and synergy • Build the groundwork for confidence and trust in SwitchCore Introduction
Phase 2 - The Disclosure • Present confidential information • Exchange data sheet and customer requirements • Receive feedback on data sheet • Show demonstration of evaluation board Introduction Disclosure
Phase 3 - The Proof • This phase gives the best indication on the level of interest from customers • Customer test the evaluation boards themselves Introduction Disclosure Proof
Phase 4 - The Design Win • Sample order placement from customer • SwitchCore holds a design review with the customer on customer’s design • Design win is announced to public Introduction Disclosure Proof Design Win
Phase 5 - Production • Completed testing of the customer design with SwitchCore products • First production quantity purchase order is placed • On-going support begins Introduction Disclosure Proof Design Win Production
