Product Launch

Widened Applications in the Defence and Security Sectors

Concurrent Technologies Plc (the "Company"), a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, is pleased to announce support of Green Hills' Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), INTEGRITY® on its high performance OpenVPX™ Single Board Computer, the TR 80x/39x, launched earlier in 2011, and which features the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor.

Although the Company has historically provided support for many of today's leading operating systems on its single board computers, it believes that supporting Green Hills INTEGRITY® on theTR 80x/39x increases its competitiveness within the defence sector.

Green Hills' INTEGRITY® is a feature rich, high reliability RTOS. It is particularly suited for applications within the embedded military and security market sectors where system malfunction could lead to a catastrophic failure.

Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, Concurrent Technologies Plc commented:

"Continual product development is essential in providing the Company with the competitive edge it has enjoyed over many years. The decision to support INTEGRITY® on the TR 80x/39x was in response to customer demand and market requirements as system security and safety becomes increasingly important within the defence market sector."

"Support for INTEGRITY® further increases the wide range of operating systems we now support and we expect to include support for INTEGRITY® on many of our new boards being released in 2012."
