Pigeon Point Systems today announced that it has reestablished itself as an independent company, following the recent acquisition of Actel® Corporation by Microsemi® Corporation (NASDAQ: MSCC). Based in Oceanside, California, Pigeon Point Systems will continue their successful cooperation with the Microsemi SOC Products Group (formerly known as Actel) on the use of the industry-recognized SmartFusion intelligent mixed signal FPGAs in xTCA™ hardware platform management controllers.

“Pigeon Point previously operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Actel Corporation, so our customer interfaces and product offerings are unaffected by these changes,” said Mark Overgaard, Pigeon Point Systems. “SmartFusion’s combination of hard ARM Cortex-M3 and programmable analog with an FPGA fabric provides an ideal core for compact, cost-effective, high integration management controllers. Microsemi and PPS have agreed to continue to deepen and broaden the Pigeon Point management controller solution portfolio based on SmartFusion.”

Pigeon Point will also continue to deliver and strengthen the Pigeon Point Shelf Manager, its industry-leading solution for shelf level management, with tens of thousands of installations in ATCA systems around the world.
