Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced the largest
in-kind software donation in its longstanding relationship with the
Georgia Institute of Technology.
“Georgia Tech is among the best research universities in the world,
offering the largest, most diverse electrical and computer engineering
program in the United States and regularly turning out the largest
number of engineers in America,” said Steven W. McLaughlin, professor
and the Steve W. Chaddick Chair of Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical
and Computer Engineering. “Maintaining that position requires the best
teachers and facilities and, increasingly, key partnerships with
companies like Keysight. Thanks to Keysight’s support, our students will
continue to have access to the industry’s leading software and hardware
tools.”
Keysight’s latest in-kind donation is valued at approximately $120
million (book value) over three years and will comprise Keysight EEsof
EDA software, support and training. The donation is being given as part
of the Keysight
EEsof EDA University Alliance program. It also includes a tailored,
three-year custom license program that provides member companies of
ECE’s Georgia Electronic Design Center with access to Keysight’s EDA
solutions.
“We are dedicated to meaningful collaboration with researchers and
educators around the world,” said Todd Cutler, general manager of
Keysight EEsof EDA. “Our latest gift of software products to Georgia
Tech continues this tradition. We are proud to partner with Georgia Tech
to help its students become industry-ready engineers.”
Academic uses of Keysight EDA software will focus on Keysight’s Advanced
Design System (ADS) and SystemVue
solutions. ADS is the world’s leading electronic design automation
software for RF, microwave and high-speed digital applications,
pioneering innovative and commercially successful technologies such as
X-parameters* and 3-D electromagnetic simulators. SystemVue is
Keysight’s premier platform for designing communications systems. It
enables system architects and algorithm developers to innovate the
physical layer of wireless and aerospace/defense communications systems
and provides unique value to RF, DSP and FPGA/ASIC implementers.
Keysight is dedicated to meaningful collaboration with researchers and
educators around the world. In the research lab, our 75-year history of
innovation continues to enable new breakthroughs in science and
technology. In classrooms and teaching labs, our instruments and
software offer students experience with the same tools used by our
customers in government and industry.
