Product Launch New Computer Product Augments Competitive Position

Concurrent Technologies Plc ("Concurrent" or the "Company"), a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, is pleased to announce the launch of a new range of VME embedded computer boards; the VP 717/08X.

This range of boards is based on the recently launched Intel® Coreâ„¢ i7 processor which has been introduced for the mobile embedded market and is based on the very latest 32nm technology. The processor introduces key features which will be of benefit to an even wider range of applications within the defence market than previously suited to Intel® processor technology. Consequently, VP 717/08X customers will benefit from improved performance per Watt of power, a sophisticated memory cache as well as much faster memory performance and improved graphics capability. Given the high performance and increased functionality of the Coreâ„¢i7, the boards are particularly well suited for CPU intensive processing applications within the defence, homeland security, industrial control, and transportation market sectors. Commercial and extended temperature versions are available today, and a compatible range of ruggedized, conduction-cooled or air-cooled versions will be available shortly.

Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, Concurrent Technologies, commented:

"Concurrent remains committed to producing products which will be available for many years and this is no exception. We only use processors from Intel's embedded roadmap which guarantees availability for a minimum of 7 years; this goes a long way to meeting the needs of our customers' requirements for long life cycle products while simultaneously providing them with enhanced processing capabilities.

The VP 717/08x, being an upgrade to an existing board,will appeal to both existing customers for technology refreshes, as well as new customers who can take advantage of the latest features of the Coreâ„¢ i7technology to standardize more of their application on Intel®based hardware, thereby reducing their overall cost of ownership."
