selection of Altium Designer as the electronics design system of choice by
Agilent Technologies' strategic new joint venture in China,
Agilent-Qianfeng Electronics Technologies. The cost effectiveness, short

the superior design system of choice for
Agilent-Quianfeng's Chengdu Research and Development (R&D) facility in
China's Sichuan Province.

"Our engineers voted for Protel from the beginning because it was able to
provide exactly what we needed," said Xiaofei Ma, General Manager of R&D at
Aglient-Qianfeng. "In conjunction with our engineering team, Altium's China
team worked closely with us to determine and meet our scheduling, training
and support requirements for a smooth adoption of Altium Designer's Protel
license. We are excited about the implications of a solid partnership for
the future."

"Our advanced products, strong knowledge of the local electronics industry
and dedication to customer relationships supported by our Global Customer
Care Division, allows us to form very productive partnerships with
electronics companies in China," says Edward Qu, General Manager of
Altium's Shanghai Representative Office. "This is a time of very high
growth in the region's electronics industry, and Altium is well placed to
support the advanced electronic product design needs of facilities like the
Agilent-Qianfeng R&D labs."
