Technology Fast 50 rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over five years, from 1999-2003. "The Deloitte Orange County Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and temerity to succeed despite a very challenging technology environment," said Mark Miskinis, Deloitte partner, Technology, Media & Telecommunications practice, Costa Mesa. "We applaud the successes of TransDimension and acknowledge their place as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years."

TransDimension's CEO Rick Goerner credits the company's fast growth over the past five years to leadership and innovation in the embedded interconnectivity space and the expansion of the consumer electronics market. "This recognition of our achievements is validation that TransDimension's commitment to USB connectivity for consumer electronics devices is on target," said Goerner.

This recognition comes on the heels of news that TransDimension acquired ARC International's Peripheral Connectivity assets and completed its Series C and Series D financing raising a total of $18.35 million. The combination of the ARC acquisition and the additional funding provides TransDimension with the ability to expand its wired USB product base and to further develop the company's peripheral connectivity focus into wireless USB. The company also recently announced that its UHC124 host controller and SoftConnex USBLink Host software will be used to support the PictBridge protocol in HP's PSC 1315 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier.

TransDimension's solutions provide direct connectivity for a wide range of PC peripheral, consumer and mobile devices that until now have required an indirect means, such as a PC host, to exchange data. These embedded applications include cellular phones, set top boxes, PDAs, digital cameras and MP3 players, to name a few.
