EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Dec. 19, 2007 —AWR®, the innovation leader in
high-frequency electronic design automation (EDA), today announced that December 2007 marks its
10-year anniversary of providing customers with innovative technologies and outstanding customer
service, enabling them to successfully deliver next-generation wireless designs in today’s
competitive market. AWR began servicing its first customer on December 10th, 1997 with one seat of
software. Since then, the company’s customer base has grown every year, resulting in over 20,000
active users in 2007.
The company attributes its consistent growth and the expansion of its customer base not only to
its founding principles of openness and interoperability, but also to its commitment to innovate new
technologies in order to help customers meet the growing challenges of increasingly complex
microwave and RF design. Since 1997, the company has continually strengthened its flagship product,
Microwave Office® design suite, with exciting new technologies targeted at increasing the
productivity of its customers. In the past 12 months alone, AWR has introduced three groundbreaking
new technologies, the ACE™, RFA™, and AXIEM™ solutions, which enable faster, more streamlined
product development.
“It is extremely satisfying that throughout our 10 years of growth and innovation, we’ve seen our
customer base go global and the use of our products expand substantially,” said Dane Collins, AWR
CEO. “Personally, the most rewarding highlight of our journey over the past decade is the customer
