US-based National Instruments (NI) has established a center on the outskirts of Budapest to provide systems engineering services to business partners all over Europe, the center’s head Bertalan Eged said on Monday.

The centre will be most active in the area of radiofrequency technology, but it will provide solutions for the automotive industry and other industries as well,  Eged said.

NI has outfitted the centre with some HUF 200m of radiofrequency technology equipment.

National Instruments opened its first overseas plant in the Hungarian city of Debrecen in 2001. It employs more than 1,100 people at the base.
