Opulan Licenses MIPS Technologies MIPS32(R) 4KEc(R) Core Broadband
Access Solutions Provider to Integrate MIPS-Based(TM) SoCs into
xDSL Access Equipment Designs MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and SHANGHAI,
China, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- - MIPS Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor
architectures and cores for digital consumer and business
applications, announced today that Shanghai-based IC design firm
Opulan Technologies Corporation has licensed the MIPS32(R) 4KEc(R)
core. The high performance, low power 4KEc core will be used to
develop SoCs for xDSL access equipment for the Asia Pacific Service
Provider market. According to Infonetics Research in its latest DSL
Aggregation Hardware report, worldwide DSL subscribers grew 70% to
98.6 million between 2003 and 2004, and are projected to reach over
195 million in 2008. The report also stated that 29% of 2004 total
DSL revenue was from the Asia Pacific region. The synthesizable
4KEc core, a member of the MIPS32 4KE(TM) family, gives licensees
the flexibility to optimize applications for performance, size or
power consumption, thereby reducing overall system costs. The 4KE
core family delivers 1.5 DMIPS/MHz performance in an area as small
as 1.0 mm2 in a 0.13-micron TSMC process. In addition, the 4KEc
core offers the broadest industry support of operating systems,
middleware, algorithms and tools for embedded applications
including broadband. The CorExtend(TM) capability of the Pro Series
cores enables SoC designers to add user-defined instructions and
improve performance for faster code execution. "The MIPS
architecture is proven and respected throughout the Asia Pacific
region, so it made good business sense to select MIPS Technologies
for our current and future product development," said Dr. Jian Liu,
vice president, engineering for Opulan Technologies. "Leveraging
the user-defined- instructions, performance and low power
consumption of the MIPS cores allows us to deliver superior
solutions to market quickly and cost-effectively." "As
telecommunications infrastructure continues to mature throughout
the Asia Pacific region, the demand for broadband access has
intensified dramatically," said Jack Browne, vice president of
worldwide sales at MIPS Technologies, Inc. "We're pleased to play a
critical role in Opulan's ability to develop innovative designs for
a fiercely competitive and cost-sensitive market." About MIPS
