Consolidates Operations Into One Building
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 4, 1996-- Amati Communications Corp
announced it has moved to a new 40,000-square-foot facility in San Jose, Calif., allowing the

Jose.

research and development to a complete manufacturing supplier," said Jim Steenburgen, president
and CEO of Amati.
In addition to increases in operations floor space and increased office space for research, the new
building has a number of state-of-the-art features for multimedia presentations and customer
training.
