Continuous Computing Announces Trillium LTE Software Support of Latest 3GPP E-UTRA LTE Specifications

With six LTE design wins and counting, Continuous Computing is uniquely
positioned to bring together key hardware and software technologies required for
faster time to market
BERLIN & SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Continuous Computing®, the only company deploying uniquely architected systems
comprised of telecom platforms and Trillium® software, today announced from the
LTE World Summit 2009, held in Berlin, Germany from May 18-20, that its recently
updated Trillium Long Term Evolution (LTE) software suite supports the 3rd
Generation Partnership Project`s (3GPP) March 2009 specifications known as 3GPP
E-UTRA (LTE). In a separate announcement made today, Continuous Computing also
disclosed that it has teamed with picoChip to jointly produce a comprehensive
LTE femtocell hardware-software reference implementation designed to accelerate
network equipment providers` LTE product development timelines.

First launched in September 2008, Continuous Computing`s newly updated Trillium
LTE software suite now includes version 2.1 of the Trillium S1AP protocol, which
provides the interface between the eNodeB (LTE base station) and the Mobility
Management Entity (MME). Trillium S1AP joins the rest of the Trillium LTE
protocols including Diameter, GTP, eGTP, LTE MAC, LTE PDCP, LTE RLC, LTE RRC,
and X2AP to provide network equipment providers (NEPs) with a comprehensive
range of LTE-optimized protocol stacks for infrastructure supporting Home
eNodeBs (LTE femtocells) all the way through to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC),
including MME, Serving Gateway (SWG), and Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG),
among others. Trillium LTE protocols are available now and all support the March
2009 3GPP E-UTRA (LTE) specification.

LTE, sometimes called "4G wireless," is considered by many to be the successor
to the current generation of Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS)
3G technology. LTE promises wireless subscribers unprecedented mobile broadband
data rates of 100Mbps downlink and 50Mpbs uplink, simultaneous voice and data
sessions, and low round-trip latency to support real-time applications like
mobile TV and gaming. In comparison, today`s 3G networks can achieve peak data
rates of 21Mbps with enhanced High Speed Packet Access (HSPA+), but only in very
select areas of coverage.

Because of LTE`s technological benefits, operators around the globe have
announced support for the standard and are expected to commence subscriber field
trials later this year, which makes availability of standards-compliant products
like Trillium LTE more important than ever given that the demand for LTE
technology is advancing faster than originally projected.

"Many of the largest carriers in the world are committed to LTE because of the
benefits it will provide their subscribers," said Manish Singh, vice president
of product line management of Continuous Computing. "NEPs need to be developing
LTE products now if they intend to participate in the early phases of this huge
market opportunity and capitalize on the advantages of being a first-mover. With
standards-compliant LTE technology solutions available today, Continuous
Computing is at the leading edge of this market. We can leverage our vast
experience in 3G, femtocell, and deep packet inspection (DPI) technologies to
help NEPs get their LTE products to market faster."

As the first systems vendor to announce a comprehensive LTE offering spanning
the entire range of LTE network infrastructure, Continuous Computing is fully
invested in the future of LTE and is on the very forefront of LTE technology
development with standards-compliant products already available and shipping
today. Continuous Computing has already garnered six customer design wins with
its broad LTE product portfolio.

In addition to Trillium LTE protocols, Continuous Computing`s LTE offerings also
consist of the FlexPacket ATCA-PP50 blade with Snow3G mezzanine and FlexTCA
Pre-Integrated Platforms, which come complete with multiple ATCA components
(switch, compute, packet processing, chassis) pre-integrated with comprehensive
platform management, SAF-compliant high-availability middleware, and essential
services software.

All Trillium LTE protocol stacks are multi-threaded and optimized for multi-core
/ multi-threaded processing architectures and include fast path modules for
critical data plane protocols like eGTP. Each stack includes a reference
application for the relevant LTE network interfaces including LTE-Uu, S1, S6,
S7, S10, and X2. Trillium LTE software is compliant with the Trillium Advanced
Portability Architecture (TAPA®) framework and built upon more than 20 years of
protocol software expertise.

The complete suite of Trillium LTE protocols and expert professional services
are available now. For more information, please visit
