AMSTERDAM, Oct. 11 -- Elcoteq Network Corp. will feature its EMS model and capabilities for optimizing time-to-market at the European Microwave Show this week.

The show will be held Oct. 12-14, in Amsterdam.

Elcoteq's model -- called Virtual Cluster -- is based on a partnership where the OEM focuses design and technology, and Elcoteq handles issues of manufacturability, the manufacturing equipment budget, production capacity, bill of materials, supply chain, and creating and maintaining a time-line and focus for production and delivery to the OEM's customer.

By jointly setting up a process of defined milestones to discuss upcoming products and manufacturing challenges, both companies are prepared for time and manufacturing adjustments, and the engineering department can focus on design instead of logistics, reducing time-to-market, Elcoteq says.
