Aonix Makes Great Strides in Europe.

New Professional Service Office Opened in France While Germany Embraces Aonix's Perc Virtual Machine Solution

PARIS -- Aonix[R], a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, celebrated a solid year of growth with the launch of a second French office devoted to professional services. The new office, centered in Toulouse, France's heartland for aeronautic and space industries, will provide expertise in real-time and embedded solutions in Java and Ada languages.

Complementing this increased support for the customer service needs of France's industrial heartland has been the dramatic adoption of Aonix's Java language technologies in Germany. Sectors such as automotive and industrial control applications have readily embraced the PERC Ultra and PERC Pico solutions that Aonix brings to the table. PERC Ultra is a virtual machine and toolset expressly created for demanding embedded and real-time systems requiring J2SE[TM] support. PERC Pico, a virtual machine designed for hard real-time applications requiring fast execution, small footprint, and access to low-level devices, can work in conjunction with PERC Ultra or stand-alone in an resource-constrained embedded system.

"Like the rest of the world, Europe has undergone significant changes in the way it does business, and Aonix has responded to that challenge," noted Laurent Mares, Aonix vice president of sales, Europe. "Industries today are much more concerned about development efficiency. They save overall development costs with the use of our leading-edge tools and our expertise in the real-time, mission-critical aspects of their applications."

Speaking about the shifts in the German market, Mares added, "Thanks to our PERC family, Aonix customers gain a Java solution that is both real time and embedded. The superior networking and portability of the Java language makes it a natural fit for many engineering solutions, and as a result, Aonix is enabling customers to improve the productivity and reliability of their development of car diagnostic systems, intelligent traffic management solutions, automation and networked applications."

The Toulouse office creates an opportunity for Aonix to extend partnerships that it has had with many companies in the southwest region of France for several years. Aonix has added to the breadth of its current team, already recognized for its highly technical expertise, with a broader range of embedded and real-time software capabilities, including design and development (Java, Ada, C/C++), modelling, development environment support, validation, testing and certification. Equipped with a larger team located in France's industrial heartland, Aonix will be able to offer the responsiveness and flexibility of customers today.

German license sales for PERC products have more than doubled in 2007 while overall PERC license sales for all of Europe are tracking close behind. This strong performance has prompted Aonix to increase its sales operations in Germany as well.
