AMCC took significant steps towards improving its internal capabilities during the past year. The Company
increased its applications work force by more than 100%. AMCC also continued the expansion of its engineering
department, including breaking ground on a new engineering facility in January 2000 and developing plans for
additional facilities in San Diego. In addition, AMCC installed a high-speed networking infrastructure to improve
communications among the Company’s widespread resources.
While AMCC is extremely pleased with its progress in these key areas, it is especially proud of the Company’s ability
to deliver these enhanced capabilities while exceeding expectations in customer service and support. This seamless
growth remains a key focus as AMCC continues to expand its product and service offerings in the years to come.
