6WINDGATE™: THE NETWORKING SOFTWARE SOLUTION FOR NEW HIGH PERFORMANCE APPLICATIONS BASED ON MULTI-CORE NETWORK PROCESSORS

6WINDGate™ is the first ready-to-use, scalable, modular & portable networking software solution for market-leading Multi-Core Network Processors, enabling NEPs to build cost-effective equipment for the new generation of fixed and mobile architectures

Paris, Beijing, Seoul, June 20, 2007 - 6WIND (www.6wind.com), leader in embedded networking software provides 6WINDGate™ software suite, a unique networking software solution to benefit from Multi-Core Network Processor technology.

New applications such as 4G network infrastructure, IMS, UTM are requiring more and more networking performance to manage fast-growing number of subscribers, higher bandwidth, deep packet inspection for service differentiation and secure communications while significantly reducing deployment and operation costs.

Since its market introduction, Multi-Core Network Processor (MCNP) technology has been maturing to provide an unrivalled set of features including performance, integration & low power consumption. Using a simple programming model reducing development time, combined with emergence of telecoms standards such as AdvancedTCA® and Linux carrier-grade helping product scalability and software reuse, MCNP is becoming a key technology for developing new generation of equipment such as: BTS, Wireless gateways, IMS equipment or UTM appliances.

6WINDGate™ software suite has been designed to provide a ready-to-use, scalable, modular & portable networking software solution for MCNP. 6WINDGate™ complete & integrated solution is built upon three layers: Fast Path modules, Optimised Linux stack and Control Plane modules. Thanks to standard API between these layers, 6WINDGate™ modular offering perfectly matches customer requirements for new product development and/or upgrade of an existing one with MCNP technology. 6WINDGate™ scalable architecture provides a range of performance between several Gbps (6WINDGate™ ADS), a solution optimising Linux for multi-processing environment, up to multi tens of Gbps (6WINDGate™ SDS) taking advantage from all MCNP improvements such as light executive efficiency, built-in crypto-processors, QoS dedicated hardware. More, 6WINDGate™ unique XML-based management system greatly eases the integration of third-party & customer specific software.

6WINDGate™ is the only available complete & proven solution on market-leading Multi-Core Network Processors.

"We are very proud to provide major industry players with our 6WINDGate™ software suite to help them to design complex & highly integrated equipment for the new generation of added value fixed and mobile networks while Multi-Core Network Processor technology is gaining momentum for many applications. 6WIND will be a key player on this market, thanks to our efficient software architecture, our strong partnership with chip-set vendors, our valuable ecosystem with board manufacturers and Linux providers" said Eric CARMES, 6WIND CEO.

"Our customers are greatly interested in our 6WINDGate™ proven solution because it reduces Multi-Core networking software development time & costs by more than 50% while multiplying performance by 10 and integration by 4, More 6WINDGate™ flexible architecture helps them to smoothly port their existing software to new Multi-Core architectures" said Dominique LANFRANCHI, 6WIND VP Sales Europe and North America.
