Continuous Computing Takes System Integration to New Heights with Customized Portfolio of Wireless and DPI Solutions.

Integrated Solutions Allow Network Equipment Providers to Quickly Deliver LTE and 3G Network Elements, Security, and Traffic Management Applications with Reduced Risk, Cost, and Complexity

SAN DIEGO -- Continuous Computing([R]), the only company deploying uniquely architected systems comprised of telecom platforms and Trillium([R]) software, today launched two solutions suites for the Wireless and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) markets as part of the company's new "Solutions & Services" business practice, also unveiled today. Continuous Computing's application-level Wireless and DPI solutions suites enable Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) to accelerate the delivery of carrier-class systems to market by upwards of 12 to 24 months, resulting in up to 50 percent higher ROI, thereby continuing to meet aggressive operator demand despite in-house budget reductions mandated by challenging economic conditions.

"Network equipment providers are under substantial pressure to deliver increasingly advanced systems with higher capacities and sophistication, yet they are facing severe budget cuts," said Jeff Heynen, directing analyst, Broadband and Video, Infonetics Research. "By raising the ceiling on what has traditionally been offered to NEPs - through a 'top-down' system architecture mindset and much tighter levels of integration - Continuous Computing is enabling NEPs to cut down development time significantly and bring products to market faster and with higher ROI."

More than 20 years of Trillium software architecture and systems integration expertise enables Continuous Computing to provide comprehensive, application-level Wireless solutions that address the most critical 3G and Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless network elements, including SGSN, GGSN, MME, SGW, PDN GW, ePDG, Femtocell Access Points, and Femtocell Gateway. Similarly, the new DPI solutions suite offers NEPs unprecedented levels of integration to expedite the delivery of high-quality, standards-based packet processing applications including Security, Traffic Management, Traffic Shaping, Mobile Advertising, and Mobile Network DPI.

"Nearly three years ago we recognized the need for a higher level of integration in the wireless market, and since then we have grown our expertise in the packet processing domain to empower NEPs to capitalize on tremendous 3G and LTE market opportunities," said Mike Coward, CTO and co-founder of Continuous Computing. "Software expertise and system-level integration are the difference. We now offer the highest level of software integration and customization needed to provide carrier-class, application-level Wireless and DPI solutions which enable NEPs to deliver unique, value-added products."
