BigBand Networks Adopts AMIQ's DVT to Shorten Its Verification Schedules

June 14, 2010, Anaheim, CA — AMIQ EDA s.r.l., the leading provider of integrated development environments (IDEs) for the e and SystemVerilog verification languages, announced today that BigBand Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBND) has adopted its eDT product from the Design and Verification Tools (DVT) product line to enhance the efficiency of its verification engineers.

BigBand Networks provides broadband services and innovative digital video networking solutions designed to make it easier to move, manage, and monetize video.
