Jackson, Miss., January 13, 2012 — SmartSynch opened offices in Silicon Valley, California and Shenzhen, China.

The office will support software and firmware design and product management. SmartSynch's office in Shenzhen, China will be smaller in scale, and focus primarily on supply chain and quality management initiatives.
