/EINPresswire.com/ -- ALBUQUERQUE, NM--(Marketwired - October 20, 2016) - 3D Glass Solutions, Inc. (3DGS), a world-class expert on the fabrication of electronic packages and devices using photo-definable glass ceramics, announced today a joint collaboration with TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL), on the development of electronic interconnect devices using glass-based System-in-Package (SiP) technology. This agreement leverages 3DGS' patented APEX® Glass technology and its existing glass-based systems and components with TE Connectivity's exceptional device, design, and packaging technology.

Electronic interconnect devices manufactured by 3DGS using APEX® Glass have significant benefits over printed circuit boards, such as,

• up to 70% reduced chip size
• up to 50% power reduction
• up to 50% increase in wireless bandwidth
• wider band applications ranging from DC to 100GHz

"3DGS' photo-definable APEX® Glass provides the highest systems-level integration of passive and active devices for System-in-Package (SiP) products compared to any other packaging technology in the market today," said Ganesh Bhatt of TE Connectivity.

"We are extremely pleased to be partnering with TE Connectivity on this glass-based SiP application and are confident that this joint collaboration will accelerate the development of new enabling technology," said Jeb Flemming, Chief Executive Officer of 3DGS.
