US firm invests £3.2m in Belfast operation
A leading US provider of automated networking solutions is investing £3.2 million in a new Belfast-based R&D operations centre.
Intelliden Inc will employ 35 people at the new operation which is being driven by the firms rapid growth, particularly in the European telecommunications market.
The Belfast-based staff will work alongside the US company’s main development centre in Colorado Springs. The R&D centre is expected to generate more than £1 million annually to the local economy.
Alan Black, Intelliden’s President and CEO, said: “Northern Ireland provides us with the critical elements to support Intelliden’s ongoing growth and commercial momentum. The region has a highly skilled technical workforce, which makes it an ideal fit for our research and development centre.
"From a geographic perspective, Northern Ireland also provides us with an ideal base for serving our European customers."
Intelliden’s software helps to automate large, complex networks and their associated devices, such as those run by communications service providers, large corporations and governments around the world.
IT also enables customers to accelerate the launch of Internet Protocol (IP) services while increasing operational efficiency, improving security and reducing costs.
