HONG KONG, June 5, 2008 – Global Sources'(NASDAQ: GSOL) EE Times-India has launched two technology-specific Websites, Embedded Design India (http://www.EmbeddedDesignIndia.com) and Power Design India (http://www.PowerDesignIndia.com).

Both sites launch with over 1,000 articles each, including design tutorials, white papers, application notes, new product news, discussion forums and webinars.

India's semiconductor revenues are expected to reach US$45 billion by 2015 at a compound annual growth rate of 30 percent, according to India's Ministry of Information Technology. Embedded system design and power design are two of the fastest growing sectors in India's electronics industry.

"Research shows that the country's electronic engineers strongly prefer online media formats," said Mark A. Saunderson, President of Global Sources’ Electronics Business Unit. "Online whitepapers are among the most-accessed information types within this high-tech community. Embedded systems and power design top the list of technologies searched for by India's engineers.

"The two Websites fill a need for technology-specific information and deepen our content offering for India's design community."

The India design channels will cover the latest development tools and tutorials to help India's design engineers cope with shorter design cycles and increasing design complexity.

Embedded Design India offers up-to-the-minute information on:

• Microcontrollers & Processors - MPUs, MCUs and control circuits
• Digital Signal Processing - Digital signal processing and DSP development
• Embedded Cores - IP cores, processors and controllers and memory
• ESL Design - System hardware/software co-design and analysis
• Software Tools - Algorithm development, firmware, compilers, debuggers and communications protocols
