SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2001

Radlan and AMCC Demonstrate Fully Integrated Routing System Solutions

for Network Processor-Based Platforms at NPC 

Radlan Inc. (www.radlan.com), the leading provider of embedded networking system solutions, and Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (Nasdaq:AMCC), a leader in high-bandwidth silicon connectivity solutions for the world's optical networks, today announced their joint demonstration at the Network Processor Conference of a fully integrated metro access and service provider system solution for network processor-based platforms.

With this partnership, Radlan announces immediate support for AMCC's nP3400 network processor (NPU) and follow-on support for members of AMCC's nP7000 family of high-speed NPUs including the nP7250 OC-48c Network Processor and the recently announced nP7510 10 Gbps Network Processor for OC-192c Packet Over SONET (POS), ATM and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Radlan, which already delivers its long-established OpENS(TM) embedded networking solution for the merchant ASIC market, now extends its technology and professional services to vendors seeking the broader systems design advantages of network processors.

A demonstration of the initial joint solution -- including Radlan's OpENS(TM) routing and graphical user interface (GUI) management software running on an AMCC nP Workbench-3400 reference and development system -- will be on display in AMCC's booth at this week's Network Processor Conference in San Jose.

Radlan's pre-integrated embedded networking system (OpENS(TM)) provides a portfolio of fabless-system solutions for multiservice switches, offering features such as edge routing, bandwidth provisioning and QoS, content switching, security and access control.

Additionally, Radlan offers a complete development and testing environment specifically designed for software integration with AMCC's NPU family. Radlan will also offer a selection of reference designs integrating OpENS with AMCC's network processors, traffic managers and switch fabrics. These reference designs will enable OEMs to significantly speed the development and release of multiservice switches and metro edge routers.

Radlan's professional services, based on decades of systems integration experience, will assist customers with complex system design and integration and in meeting mission-critical time-to-market demands.

"Radlan is responding to the great increase in demand for feature-rich switches in the metro access market," said Yoram Valent, president of Radlan Inc.

"OpENS effectively merges together a collection of hardware and software components to create high-end network systems. Vendors using the pre-integrated Radlan/AMCC system solution will be able to assemble a multiservice access switch in as little as six to nine months."

"By meshing their proven OpENS networking and management software code base with AMCC's nPsoft(TM) Development Environment, Radlan enables our network equipment vendor customers to get to market even faster with fewer resources, allowing each OEM to focus on its own unique value-adds," said Robin Melnick, director of software product management for AMCC's Switching and Network Processing Group.

"The Radlan/AMCC partnership exemplifies our continuing commitment to offer our customers complete, effective time-to-market solutions."

Radlan's target markets include Enterprise LAN, Broadband and Metro Access, as well as emerging Storage and Server Switches markets, which can benefit greatly from Radlan's packet switching know-how and expertise.

Core Technologies

The OpENS platform is composed of four highly integrated components:

1. Op-ROS -- The Routing Operating System is a generic

software package that allows for quick integration with a

variety of communication chips, network processors, CPUs

and RTOSes

2. Op-IDS -- The Integrated Development and Simulation

environment combined with enhanced testing tools makes it

easy for vendors to integrate with custom designs and

applications

3. Op-RTG -- The Regression Testing Generator offers more

than 2,500 predefined scenarios for routing and networking

functional testing

4. Op-NMS -- The Network Management System is a JAVA-based,

customizable management application
