QNX distributor TechKinetics of Singapore has opened the first of three new sales and engineering facilities in Shanghai, China.

Located in the Pudong new area of Shanghai, the new office will service companies in a variety of market segments, including multimedia, networking and transportation.

In June 2004, TechKinetics will open an additional Chinese office in the Haidian district of Beijing.

A third office in Shenzhen is scheduled to open this fall.

As a premier distributor in the QNX Solutions Network, the Chinese offices of TechKinetics will act as an extension of QNX Software Systems, offering local sales, customer training, consulting, on-site support, technical support and software development services for the QNX Neutrino real-time operating system (RTOS) and the QNX Momentics development suite.

"This expansion into China with QNX is a strategic step for both of us", said QZ Huang, General Manager at TK Shanghai.

"Together with our network of resellers, we will extend our formula for success in south-east Asia to other customers throughout China".

According to Venture Development Corporation, the market for embedded hardware and software in the Asia Pacific region is expected to experience 18% annual growth for the next several years.

"TechKinetics has demonstrated its ability to make great inroads into new geographic markets for QNX", said Kimm Krueger, Director, Indirect Channels, QNX Software Systems.

"We are very proud to work with TechKinetics as we grow together in new ventures".
