companies and system OEMs

SHEFFIELD, England–(EMWNews)–Jennic has reported a record uptake of Intellectual Property usage in

the cellular base-station and mobile data communications markets. This

is reflected in a fivefold increase of sales of Intellectual Property

(IP) licenses in the first half of 2008 versus first half of 2007, due

to strong performance of their RapidIO®

system-level IP products, FEC and ATM-SAR cores.

Jim Lindop, Jennic’s CEO, commented “The

communications sector has been showing strong growth with base-stations

turning to high-performance digital signal processing in response to

increased demand for high-bandwidth mobile data communications.

Licensing RapidIO IP, allows companies to achieve a significant

performance boost, and a fast entry into the high-performance market,

whilst lowering design overhead and risk.”

Jennic licences a complete range of fully integrated RapidIO interface

solutions for integration into SoC semiconductor devices. Developed as a

cost-effective, standards-based, switched replacement for comparatively

expensive proprietary busses, RapidIO is used in high-performance

embedded systems such as networking and communications equipment as well

as in enterprise storage networks. The most typical application for

Jennic’s RapidIO core is to connect multiple DSP cores in cellular

base-stations. In addition to the RapidIO product line, Jennic has also

seen continued interest and licensing for its IP portfolio of FEC and

ATM-SAR cores.

Jennic directly serves semiconductor companies as end-users, and also

serves system-OEM companies via ASIC and FPGA partners such as IBM, NEC

and Altera, where Jennic’s IPR is at production status. Jennic’s

technology has also been directly or indirectly licensed by

semiconductor companies and by system OEMs.

“IBM has recently shipped silicon for a client’s

65nm base station communications ASIC containing the Jennic SRIO,”

said Adrian O’Connor, sales director, IBM

Microelectronics. “The quality of Jennic’s

IP cores, as well as the level of support we have received from Jennic,

has allowed us to deliver optimal solutions to our customers for the

past five years in order to allow them to set themselves apart from

competitors.”

“We have licensed technology from Jennic over the past 3 years” comments

Takatoshi Koga, General Manager of System ASIC Division from NEC

Electronics. “They provide working silicon and are hugely respected by

our customers”.
