Product Launch



Improved Switched Fabric Board for the Telecommunications Sector



Concurrent Technologies Plc (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 FP 110/008, which complements Concurrent's
existing CompactPCI range.  This is primarily aimed at the telecommunications
market with typical applications including networking equipment, VoIP
(Voice-over IP) telephony systems and blade based servers.  This product can
also be used in high data throughput defence and scientific VME based
applications.



The FP 110/008 is an 'unmanaged' embedded Ethernet switching product providing
ten bi-directional ports each operating at very fast giga-Hertz data rates while
simultaneously offering network security features and the ability to monitor and
report on its own 'health'.



The principal advantages of the product are its high reliability and low power
consumption (under 16 Watts) together with its ability to provide high data
transfer rates.  It also incorporates industry standard LAN-based networking
techniques which allow for simplified intercommunication between boards,
particularly where different operating systems and CPU architectures are
employed within the same system.  High-availability telecoms applications will
also benefit from the product's ability to support its own insertion and removal
from an operational computer system without switching the system off.



Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, Concurrent Technologies, commented:



'We view the telecoms sector as an area of strategic growth for Concurrent
Technologies and the introduction of this product, with its many operational
advantages for customers, will serve to strengthen our presence within this
expanding marketplace.  This product allows Concurrent to provide more of the
system components which will enhance our ability to offer system solutions in
addition to boards and software.



'The launch of the FP 110/008 is part of an aggressive programme of new product
introductions planned for this year with the objective of strengthening and
widening our product offering to our customers, both within telecommunications
and in the other key market sectors we serve.'
