["NETL: A System for Representing and Using Real-World Data", S.E. Fahlman, MIT Press 1979]. ], the leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors, today announced that its knowledge-based processors have been incorporated into multiple Alcatel-Lucent product families that are being or will be deployed by Verizon Wireless to accelerate its transition to an all-IP network, and expand its already successful portfolio of multimedia and data services. This week, Verizon Wireless and Alcatel-Lucent announced a three-year agreement under which Alcatel-Lucent will supply a wide variety of network equipment, software and services to support Verizon Wireless' network expansion. Verizon Wireless aims to offer faster speeds for Internet access See how to access the Internet. , deliver voice services over its data network and make it easier to watch videos on mobile handsets. NetLogic Microsystems' market-leading knowledge-based processors have been designed into a broad range of Alcatel-Lucent product families, including the 7750 Service Router for IP routing and Ethernet aggregation, the Flexent[R] Mobile Switching Center with support for CDMA2000[R] 1xEV-DO Revision A, the Flexent Packet Services Switch, and the LambdaUnite[R] MultiService Switch. NetLogic Microsystems is currently the leading supplier of knowledge-based processors to Alcatel-Lucent. Under the agreement, Alcatel-Lucent will provide infrastructure solutions spanning its entire portfolio to transition Verizon Wireless to an all-IP network. Verizon Wireless' CDMA2000[R] 1xEV-DO Revision A network will be expanded and enabled to support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services such as VoIP with quality of service, and multimedia services that combine voice, video and data capabilities. The high-performance knowledge-based processors from NetLogic Microsystems have been selected due to the unmatched performance, large database capacity, small package footprint and the industry's lowest power consumption. The knowledge-based processors play a central role in accelerating important functions for quad-play networks such as quality-of-service (QoS), billing, packet filtering and high-quality video delivery. This allows mobile operators and carriers to significantly enhance the efficiency of bandwidth and network resources for quad-play carrier networks. "We're excited that our industry-leading knowledge-based processors are being used to help enable the delivery of bandwidth-intensive applications such as high-definition IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. , VoIP and tiered Internet access over next-generation Verizon Wireless networks," said James McDermott, director of marketing at NetLogic Microsystems. "Through our close collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent, we continue to deliver innovative and leading-edge products and technologies that drive higher performance and next-generation feature sets such as high-quality video delivery for mobile operators." NetLogic Microsystems currently ships a wide variety of knowledge-based processors to multiple programs and divisions at Alcatel-Lucent, including the NL6512, NL6256, NL5512, NL5256, NL4512, NL4256, NL3128GLM GLM Global Language Monitor GLM Global Marine (stock symbol) GLM Graduated Length Method (ski instruction) GLM Good Looking Mom (used in pediatric practices) GLM God Loves Me , NLNSE10256, NLNSE10128, NLNSE70128, NLNSE70064 and NLNSE70032. In addition, other advanced knowledge-based processors from NetLogic Microsystems are being designed into next-generation Alcatel-Lucent products. Alcatel-Lucent is currently NetLogic Microsystems' second largest customer, representing ten percent of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006.
