Effnet Joins eNsemble™ Multi-Core Alliance to Drive Development of
Header
Compression Software Technologies for Multi-Core Processors

Sweden,
Luleå - April 28, 2010 - Effnet AB, the leader in header
compression
technologies, today announced that it has become a member of the
eNsemble™
Multi-Core Alliance, a premier industry organization founded to
drive
best-in-class innovations on multi-core parallel processing platforms
and
software development.  Supported by a broad base of world-class hardware
and
software providers, the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance serves as the
foundation
upon which original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can more
effectively and more
efficiently develop high-performance networking equipment
using industry-leading
multi-core processors.  

“With the demand for bandwidth
growing exponentially, the best way to meet the
requirements is to use advanced
technologies for efficient utilization of
available bandwidth and radio
spectrum,” said Joakim Enerstam, Managing
Director, Effnet AB. “One such
enabling technology is header compression. Effnet
AB, the leading independent
vendor of header compression software technologies,
is excited to join the
eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance and bring its expertise in
header compression
technology to the multi-core development community.”

Effnet AB, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Effnet Holding AB (publ), is a world
leader in the area of IP
Header Compression. Effnet develops and sells embedded
software that increases
the efficiency, speed and quality of IP traffic in
fixed, mobile and satellite
networks. For more information about Effnet and more

The Effnet ROHC™ product
family is the market leading software solution for
Robust Header Compression
based on RFC3095, RFC5225, RFC4906 and RFC3843, as
well as other compression
standards used in 3G, 4G, LTE, WiMAX and satellite
networks. The Effnet ROHC™
product family is designed for easy and rapid
portability with highly
structured software interfaces making it suitable for
integrating into
handsets, customer premise equipment, base stations, gateways
and other
wireless infrastructure equipment. The intelligent pattern detection
algorithms

innovators who are
respective leaders in their areas of expertise, the Alliance
creates a platform
on which these developers can innovate to create new,
breakthrough applications
and solutions that can take full advantage of the
superior performance and
functionality of multi-core processors.”

As a
founding member of the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance, NetLogic Microsystems
is
opening up the programming model for its family of market-leading
multi-core,
multi-threaded processors to Alliance members to allow greater
access and
tighter coupling between networking software and the XLR®, XLS® and
XLP™
multi-core processors.  This enables significant improvements in the
application
development efficiency of software code and overall system
performance.  In
addition, the open platform enables the development of new
enhanced services and
applications for next-generation Internet networks that
are highly optimized for
multi-core, multi-threaded processors.
