Kenet Inc. (Reading, MA), a developer of mixed-signal semiconductor products, formally launched the company and announced it has been awarded a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the central research and development organization for the US Department of Defense.

Under the DARPA contract, Kenet will further develop the ability to monolithically integrate its mixed-signal solutions with large digital systems. Large one-chip solutions will be used to improve key government and commercial applications, such as radar and wireless communications.

”We believe this contract award reflects on the strength of the Kenet team," said Kenet Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, John Fan. "With a formidable combination of technology expertise drawn from MIT Lincoln Laboratory and proven success at the industry's leading semiconductor companies, this team has what it takes to establish and sustain Kenet as a market leader."
