DEGGENDORF, Germany--(Business Wire)--
congatec AG, a leading innovator in embedded computing, today
announced that it has incorporated a US entity, congatec Inc., and
will begin looking for a location for a California-based office
immediately. The office will initially employ about 10 congatec
employees headed by Ron Mazza, an industry veteran of more than 30
years.

"Although congatec is a young company, it was started by some of
the most experienced technologists in the computer-on-module market.
Building our products from the ground up has allowed us to offer some
of the most advanced technology on the market. Our latest creation is
the new industry standard, called QSeven(TM), that will address all
mobile and ultra mobile applications. The fact that the company is
already profitable in Europe and Asia shows the tremendous customer
demand already in place for our products," stated Gerhard Edi, CEO of
congatec AG.

congatec Highlights at ESC Silicon Valley

Attendees of ESC Silicon Valley 2008 will have the opportunity to
see a live demonstration of congatec's extremely low power consuming
COM Express(TM) Compact module called conga-CA. It features the brand
new Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor Z5xx series and the Intel(R) System
Controller Hub US15W.

Mobile applications are becoming more and more important within
the embedded market. Recognizing this trend, congatec has created a
battery management module called the conga-SBM(2) and will have a
hands-on display at the show. The conga-SBM(2) module is 19V DC
powered and utilizes up to two smart batteries. This solution supports
the XTX(R) and COM Express(TM) module standards.

The complete product range of ETX(R), XTX(R) and COM Express(TM)
modules will also be presented at the Embedded Systems Conference.

In addition, one of congatec's technology partners, Real-Time
Systems, will demonstrate how to utilize multi-core architectures in
today's industry environments. This display will show how the real
time hypervisior is able to operate multiple operating systems on a
single COM Express(TM) or XTX(R) module.
