The name Vitesse, French for speed , expresses what our company epitomizes: the pursuit of ever faster integrated circuits for high-bandwidth, high-performance communications systems. Today, virtually every long distance call passes, at some point, through a Vitesse IC. Most of the world’s telecom systems use Vitesse 2.5Gb/s chips. We play a critical role in the superhighway; we lead the industry in gigabit datacom and 10Gb/s telecom ICs. Perhaps, most important, we are cost effective. We believe advancing the technology isn’t meaningful unless it’s feasible.

Since 1984, the Company has pioneered volume manufacturing of gigabit per second VLSI. Today, Vitesse offers an extensive line of 622Mb/s, 1Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s and 10Gb/s standard product communications ICs for markets like SONET (Synchronous Optical Network), SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), ATM
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode), Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet and for ATE. Vitesse technology and system-level expertise deliver a combination of high speed, high integration and low power dissipation.
