Embedded Networking Leader Teja Technologies Increases Presence in China with Tekview.

New Strategic Agreement Allows Leading Chinese Reseller to Distribute Teja NP

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Teja Technologies Inc., the leading supplier of embedded networking and communications software for multi-core processor architectures, today announced an agreement with Tekview Technologies Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese reseller of telecommunications equipment, to distribute Teja's award-winning Teja NP software platform throughout China. The powerful Teja NP platform provides the ideal solution to help developers in the Asia-Pacific region to accelerate their products' time-to-market with reduced risk and development costs.

"Tekview is delighted to represent Teja to the Chinese market," said Ma Li Min, CEO, Tekview. "We know our customers will greatly benefit from Teja NP and are pleased to give our endorsement to the toolkit and its underlying paradigm. We are looking forward to adding it and its technology-specific building blocks to our NPU product portfolio."

With this announcement, Tekview and Teja have teamed to deliver this powerful functionality to developers throughout China. Established in 1999, Tekview is a high-tech corporation that delivers telecom solutions and professional services in China. Under the terms of the agreement, Tekview will leverage its established market network to provide pre- and post-sales support in addition to distribution throughout the region. With headquarters at Shanghai and branch offices in Beijing, Tekview provides Teja a first-rate outlet for distributing its Teja NP platform to developers in the Asia-Pacific market.

By using Teja NP, Chinese developers can create high performance networking applications for an entire, multiprocessor Intel NPU-based system with a common programming model across all processors in the system. The programming model is independent of the underlying hardware, thereby protecting development investments by enabling application reusability across multiple products and multiple generations of processors. The systems level approach of the platform allows network OEMs to benefit from greatly reduced development time and costs, while achieving the highest performance.

"This alliance highlights Teja's continued growth within Asia-Pac. Teja NP's innovative capabilities provide us with a platform that has allowed Teja to penetrate this market successfully," said David Stepner, Teja CEO. "This partnership with Tekview further solidifies our growing sales channel in the region."

Teja NP is available immediately through Tekview's sales channels in China. For more information on Tekview, visit http://www.tekview.com/English/AboutUs/AboutUs.asp

About Teja NP

Using Teja NP, developers define a complete system's application logic in a C-based model that is independent of the specific Intel network processor and board configuration. These modular logic components are then assigned to the hardware elements on a specific target, resulting in the automatic generation of optimized production code for the target system. Reusing applications across multiple products or across generations of network processors simply requires reassigning the application logic to the resources of the new target chip or board, whereas alternate methods would typically require a manual code rewrite.

Teja NP also facilitates integration of third-party hardware and software components, such as coprocessors and protocol stacks that complement Intel network processors. The resulting benefits of using Teja NP include accelerated time-to-market, the reduction of engineering risk and, most importantly, reliable, high-performance products that provide OEMs with a first-to-market advantage.

Available applications from Teja include IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding, QoS, NAT, TCP Offload/Termination, ATM and security. Unlike reference code, all of Teja's foundation applications are fully documented and supported and are designed to be quickly and easily extended and customized using the Teja NP Application Development Environment. Teja applications are delivered pre-configured to run on popular development and production boards, including ADI, Adlink, Intel, Motorola, and RadiSys. Teja NP is currently available for the Intel[R] IXP2000[TM] family of network processors, as well as the Broadcom[R] SiByte[TM] family of multi-core MIPS processors.
