Concurrent Technologies Plc Product Launch Two new Fabric Switch products introduced to embedded market

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 two new fabric switch boards. These new products complement the Company's existing processor products by providing the switching technology needed to allow multiple computer boards to intercommunicate effectively particularly in the case of larger computer systems. These fabric switch boards will be marketed in combination with Concurrent's computer boards.

The FR 331/306 is an OpenVPXâ„¢ fabric switch board operating at gigabit data transfer rates. OpenVPXâ„¢ is becoming the bus architecture of choice for many new projects within the defence market, in particular within very harsh environments.

The FX 322/0xx is a multi-channel VXS fabric switch board operating at multiple gigabit transfer rates. VXS is a standard which introduces serial switch fabric technology into the established VME bus standard which has been extensively used for many years in applications within defence, security, industrial and aerospace applications.

Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, Concurrent Technologies, commented:

"The introduction of these two new high performance boards allows the Company to compete for a larger share of its existing markets. Our customers can benefit from the assurance that these boards are designed and tested specifically to work with our high performance processor cards."

"We said in our interim statement that we would continue to commit to R&D and these are the first of our new product launches that we signaled at that time. Continued product development is central to Concurrent's strategy and the result of our investment in new products is a strengthened competitive position and an increasing customer base."
