Infineon
launches new group for secure mobile solutions
GERMANY
-- Infineon Technologies AG is forging ahead with the
expansion of its solution business with the launch of
its new Secure Mobile Solutions (SMS) Group on November
1, 2002.
The
company's aim in founding the new business group is
to merge the former Wireless Solutions and Security
and Chip Card ICs activities, with Ulrich Hamann, 47,
heading the new group. This move is the next logical
step in Infineon's implementation of its strategic "Agenda
5-to-1" program, which will focus on technology
lifestyle solutions for the 21st century.
Future
mobile multimedia applications will enable people to
access information and entertainment offerings of their
choice anytime and anywhere. Secure communications to
guarantee security of transferred data is the basic
requirement. This will produce a huge increase in demand
for solutions that combine security applications with
mobility.
Ulrich
Hamann, CEO of Infineon's new business group, said:
"Secure Mobile Solutions puts us in a pole position
to service the increasing demand for security in mobile
applications, especially for current and future mobile
communications by delivering complete solutions. This
gives us a crucial competitive advantage."
Ulrich
Hamann embarked on his career at Infineon Technologies
in 1986, when it was still Siemens Semiconductors. An
electrical engineering graduate, he has headed up the
Wireless Solutions Group at Infineon since May 2001.
He was head of the Security and Chip Card ICs Group
for the previous five years and can bring his experience
in both sectors to bear to optimum effect in the new
group.
