Background

Packet Architects AB was founded by a team with extensive experience in designing ASICs for communication systems.
Having seen the costly development time for these types of systems and the lack of flexibility in existing IP cores led to the founding of Packet Architects and the development of the FlexSwitch tool-chain.
