BRECIS Technology to Power Next-Generation World Leading Telecom Supplier Devices.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003 Multi-Service Processor simplifies migration to broadband packet-switching technologies at the customer premise BRECIS announced today that its MSP (1) (Management Service Provider or Managed Service Provider) An organization that manages a customer's computer systems and networks which are either located on the customer's premises or at a third-party datacenter. 5000 Multi-service Processor has been selected by Ericsson as one on the processors to be used in Ericsson's HL950 Multi-Service Edge Device. This represents the first announced use of this new class of processor, specifically designed and optimized for broadband multi-service customer premise equipment, in the world. The BRECIS MSP5000 Multi-Service Processor can be used to power a variety of multi-service edge devices that provide, at the customer premise, services that could range from integrated voice and data, to high-performance routing See HPR. , security, IP PBX (Internet Protocol Private Branch eXchange) A telephone switch that supports voice over IP (VoIP). IP PBXs convert IP phone calls into traditional circuit-switched TDM connections for the PSTN. , and migration-oriented circuit-emulation services. The MSP5000, like all BRECIS Multi-Service Processors, was designed to dramatically simplify the process of creating multi-service edge devices by providing a powerful, cost-effective, and easily programmable multiprocessor platform in a single "system-on-a-chip" configuration. The BRECIS architecture is uniquely designed for high-performance, multi-service applications, and will enable service providers to safely and seamlessly migrate their legacy networks to a robust, broadband multi-service network based on packet-switching and routing technologies. "Helping equipment providers and operators to bring multiple services simply and inexpensively to the edge of the network is our key initiative," stated George Alexy, BRECIS' president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "However, without a new class of building block -- the Multi-Service Processor -- the process is nearly intractable. Ericsson has found that solution in our MSP5000, and we look forward to cooperating closely with them in the application of our Multi-Service Processors to their new generation of multi-service edge devices." According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Alexy, BRECIS started several years ago with a clean sheet of paper and a strong vision of completely converged, 21st Century communications infrastructure. From that, the company defined an entirely new class of single-chip multiprocessor that anticipated the critical processing needs of multi-service edge devices. The result was a family of products, announced last year, and headed by the powerful MSP5000, which Alexy says, are ideal for use in broadband routers, security appliances, multi-service access devices, and VoIP gateways. "We see Ericsson's decision as validation of our vision and approach," said Alexy. Shipments of Access Routers and Enterprise IAD (Integrated Access Device) A device that multiplexes a variety of communications technologies in the customer's premises onto a single telephone line for transmission to the carrier. It also demultiplexes the incoming streams into their respective channels. Units will exceed 2.5 million units by 2005 according to Infonetics Research. About BRECIS Communications BRECIS is the inventor of a new class of single-chip processor called a "Multi-Service Processor" (MSP), that worldwide has become the de facto standard Hardware or software that is widely used, but not endorsed by a standards organization. Contrast with de jure standard. de facto standard - A widespread consensus on a particular product or protocol which has not been ratified by any official standards body, such as ISO, platform for the low-cost design and manufacture of high-performance, broadband security, routing, and multi-service appliances for the SOHO Soho (sōhō`, sə–), district of Westminster, London, England, known for its continental restaurants. Once a fashionable quarter, it became popular among writers and artists in the 19th cent. and SME markets. Original equipment manufacturers in Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe, the U.S., and elsewhere have found BRECIS' groundbreaking multi-service, "system-on-a-chip" architecture; its broad and growing processor family; and its leading-edge security, routing, VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. , and VoIP software; to be vital for effective competition in their local, emerging, broadband CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment markets and on the global stage. For end users, BRECIS Multi-Service Processors make applications such as high-performance Internet access, multi-line voice over packet-based networks, heightened security, virtual private networking, voice-enabled web content, and entertainment on demand, increasingly practical, available, and affordable. BRECIS is a late-stage, venture-funded company with a strong customer portfolio, and investors that include Crosslink Capital, Focus Ventures, InterWest Partners, Norwest Venture Partners, and Sequoia Capital.
