Fidus expands Toronto design centre; doubles local service contracts

    TORONTO, May 7 /CNW Telbec/ - Electronics designer Fidus Systems is
experiencing strong demand at its Toronto Design Centre. After just six months
of operation, the centre has moved to larger quarters - doubling its capacity
and adding a hardware laboratory.
    "New contract bookings here exceeded those in any other region last
quarter. Market response has more than justified our decision to move into
Toronto," says Cameron Redmond, Fidus Business Manager for Toronto. "We're
designing multiple products for industrial controls, video, wireless and
defence."
    Fidus also booked 95 percent more business from Toronto last quarter than
it did there in all of 2006.
    Founded in 2001, Fidus employs more than 60 engineers and support staff
globally. The company's expanded Toronto location (off Hwy 427 between Dundas
and Burnhamthorpe) serves clients throughout the GTA, Waterloo, Burlington,
and Southern Ontario.
    Fidus is looking for additional talent in Toronto - experienced designers
in Hardware, FPGA, PCB Layout and High-speed Signal Integrity Analysis.

    Fidus Toronto Design Centre is now located at:
    1 Eva Road, Suite 208, Toronto, Ontario M9C 4Z5
