Product launch

Product Range Strengthened in Defence and Security Markets

Concurrent Technologies (AIM: CNC), a leading manufacturer of high-end embedded
computer products for critical applications in the defence, transportation,
communications and industrial markets, announces the launch of its latest single
board computer, the VP 325. This is aimed at the defence, homeland security and
industrial automation markets.


The VP 325 is a very powerful, thermally resourceful product based on Intel's
1.8GHz Pentium M processor. Another version of the board, which has a speed of
1.4GHz, operates at temperatures as low as minus 40 Celsius or at temperatures
as high as 85 Celsius and is particularly well suited for harsh environments.



Since the beginning of 2004, Concurrent Technologies has rolled out a range of
new products to satisfy the growing demands for ever more powerful and versatile
embedded computers.  With its short manufacturing cycle, the company is well
placed within its industry, through its speed of response to evolving customer
needs.  The VP 325, for example, is in response to military and transport sector
requirements to combine the ability to operate in extreme temperature
environments whilst running at a higher speed than any existing Concurrent
Technologies wide temperature board.



It is this level of customer fulfilment which helps the company to maintain a
leading position in its specialist niche.



Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, Concurrent Technologies, commented:


'We view the defence market and the United States' growing homeland security
initiative as being a significant area of growth for Concurrent and the
introduction of this type of product, and the others that will follow during
2005, should strengthen our market position and enable us to penetrate into more
applications.'
