"After completing a successful 2014, we are heading into 2015 with increased customer demand for our products and services," said Grant Pierce, CEO of Sonics. "We have the highest number of business opportunities and technology evaluations in progress in our history as competition in the digital consumer electronics and communication systems markets heat up. The emerging markets for IoT and Wearables will drive greater demand for our NoCs and system architecture expertise as SoC developers grapple with growing IP integration complexity, power constraints, and security requirements. Our NoC technologies are the most trusted in the business and we expect to capitalize on new opportunities as SoC designers shift toward a more agile, subsystem-based methodology to address these tough issues."
During 2014, Sonics made steady progress working with its partners and distributors such as, Atrenta, Chipware, Duolog, Magillem, and Maojet. In the latest issue of its Market Share: Semiconductor Design Intellectual Property, Worldwide, 2013, which was released on March 27, 2014, Gartner, Inc.'s report showed that Sonics had not only retained its lead over the other NoC suppliers, but also expanded its lead significantly. The company joined the EDA Consortium (EDAC) and CEO Grant Pierce was elected to the EDAC board of directors. Sonics also received a new patent for its "Intelligent Power Controller," a breakthrough for the development of innovative SoC power management solutions. Finally, with collaboration from a number of companies and subject matter experts, Sonics orchestrated the creation of the Agile IC Methodology discussion group, which in its first few months of conversation has grown to over 290 members.
