MOBILE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 3, 1998--

Nucleus PLUS RTOS Offers Complete Solution for High-Volume Customers Developing Applications Within M-CORE Architecture

Accelerated Technology, Inc., the leader of source code and non-royalty based Real-Time Operating System products, announces support for the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) M-CORE architecture, a low-power architecture designed to bring unprecedented performance to a new class of applications (visit http://www.atinucleus.com). The combination of the Nucleus PLUS RTOS and the M-CORE architecture provides a compact, cost-effective, low-power solution for a variety of markets. These markets range from battery-powered, wireless, and hand-held applications, like digital phones and personal digital assistants, to automotive products like braking systems and engine control.

Combining performance, speed, and cost efficiencies into a compact, low-power design, the M-CORE microprocessor is a natural solution for applicationswhere battery life and systems cost are critical design goals.

Similarly, the source code, no royalties policy from ATI benefits those mutual customers in the high volume markets. Providing well documented source code gives developers complete control over their application design. This security is complimented by a royalty free guarantee, allowing companies to reinvest money in more important areas than royalty fees.

Nucleus PLUS is a proven RTOS that started, and continues to lead, the source code, no royalties market. The integration of Nucleus PLUS for the M-CORE architecture is evidence of Accelerated Technology's continued support for Motorola's family of processors.

"We are very excited to have the Nucleus PLUS real time operating system for the M-CORE architecture," said Fred Stotz, third party tools manager for the M-CORE Technology Center. "The Nucleus PLUS operating system expands the M-CORE development tools portfolio to offer our growing customer base industry proven and cost sensitive software options."

"Since the company started, the Motorola family of processors has been a strategic part of our core technology. As Motorola has entered the ASIC race with M-CORE, the Nucleus family of source code, no royalty products is a natural fit. Motorola has been kind enough to solicit our participation in this market recognizing ATI in the low power, ASIC-based solutions already on the market and can now offer their customers a competitive software solution for the M-CORE architecture. We, as always, are excited about the potential that working with a leader like Motorola brings," said Neil Henderson, President of Accelerated Technology, Inc.
