Massive ecosystem of the "who's who" of microprocessor suppliers confirms Trillium as the industry standard for 3G and LTE radio access network infrastructure software

SAN DIEGO - February 8, 2011 - Continuous Computing®, the global provider of integrated platform solutions that address the mobile broadband capacity challenge, today revealed an enormous roster of ten silicon suppliers with whom the company has pre-integrated its world-famous, award-winning Trillium® wireless base station software. By partnering with the "who's who" of telecom microprocessor leaders, Continuous Computing enables network equipment providers and wireless device manufacturers to get to market faster and capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for 3G and Long Term Evolution (LTE) femtocell, picocell, microcell and macrocell base stations products.

Featuring many of the largest and most innovative semiconductor companies in the world, Continuous Computing's ten-strong ecosystem of pre-integrated silicon suppliers includes:

Broadcom Corporation

Cavium Networks

DesignArt Networks

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc.

NetLogic Microsystems

Octasic Inc.

Picochip Ltd.

Qualcomm Incorporated

Texas Instruments Incorporated

The depth of integration completed by Continuous Computing's Trillium engineering team bolsters original equipment manufacturers' ability to compete in the wireless access market through wider supplier selection, lower software portability risk and faster product development. Specifics include:

Integration of Trillium Layer 2 through Layer 7 upper layer software and reference designs with silicon providers' Physical Layer (PHY) software - supports over-the-air system from day one

Performance optimization and tuning - ensures that integrated solutions meet the carrier-class demands of 3G and LTE base stations

On-going support and alignment on product roadmaps - accelerating feature additions and conformance to international wireless standards

Such a critical mass of companies gathering around one common Trillium software solution represents an important shift in infrastructure development in the wireless industry. Previously network equipment vendors had to purchase silicon, develop their own software and then perform integration and testing themselves - a painstaking, laborious and time-consuming process. With pre-integrated Trillium software available across such a broad range of microprocessor choices, network equipment vendors can now choose the silicon that best suits their requirements and focus internal resources on value-add application development and differentiation.

"With residential 3G femtocells increasingly part of mobile operators' network deployment options, the next phase in small cell technology evolution is extension into enterprises, public access locations, and to emerging 4G-LTE networks," said Gabriel Brown, senior analyst with research and consulting firm Heavy Reading. "It is vital that the industry continues to work to flatten the cost structure associated with product development to meet this goal; there's a clear opportunity for silicon and software vendors to produce better integrated components and subsystems."

The rapidly heightening demand for small cell - femto, pico, micro - and macrocell offerings comes as capacity requirements on mobile networks continue to rise and indoor and offload solutions become essential tools for reducing traffic congestion and improving customer experience. The next wave of telecom infrastructure deployment will be to build LTE networks, where small cell technologies will play a vital role in complementing macrocells for coverage and capacity.

"Unmatched performance, superior quality and seamless portability are the hallmarks of Trillium software," said Manish Singh, vice president of product line management at Continuous Computing. "We've invested heavily to ensure that network equipment providers have a field-proven, future-proof solution when they choose Continuous Computing for their femto, pico, micro or macro infrastructure development projects. With over 40 customer wins spanning the 3G and LTE domains - and soon LTE-Advanced - our market leadership is expanding."

Trillium protocol stack software empowers network equipment providers and device manufacturers to develop reliable, high-performance network elements for wireless and packet processing applications. Trillium protocol stack software features a proven multi-threaded design that minimizes locking and optimizes performance in today's multi-core processing environments. Underscoring such product leadership, Continuous Computing was recently selected as a finalist in the prestigious GSMA Global Mobile Awards 2011 in the "Best Technology Breakthrough" category.

Live LTE and 3G wireless demonstrations featuring Trillium software pre-integrated with silicon solutions from a selection of companies in the Continuous Computing radio access network ecosystem will be demonstrated at the company's Mobile World Congress booth (Hall 1, 1F01) from February 14 - 17.
