Centers of Excellence (CoE)

To foster continuous innovation within our employees, HSC has instituted five key "Centers of Excellence (CoE)". Each CoE is led by an industry expert and is always a beehive of exciting activity. The goal of each CoE is to encourage our employees to innovate beyond their project related work and continuously churn up innovative ideas, papers and prototypes in a variety of areas.

The CoEs focus on key areas such as: 

• Networking
• Applications
• Connected Devices
• Media Streaming (OTT/IPTV)
• Quality Assurance
• Security

In the past, each CoE has produced several innovative reusable components and concepts that have helped in accelerating customer project development. Examples of reusable components are (this list is always growing):
