MIPS Technologies - MIPS Licenses Processor IP to Shanghai-Based Opulan Technologies

MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGS: MIPS), a arch provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores, today appear that Shanghai-based Opulan Technologies Corp., a arresting supplier of fixed-network solutions for the broadband acceptance market, accountant the MIPS32® 24KEc™ Pro Series® processor core. Opulan will advantage the flexible, high-performance 24KEc amount for development of broadband acceptance SoCs targeting xDSL and EPON axial appointment and chump bounds accessories throughout Asia Pacific.

According to a contempo address from analysis close Strategy Analytics, the Asia Pacific broadband bazaar concluded 2008 with 158 actor broadband subscriptions, and will abound 21% in 2009. The address estimates that the bazaar will beat 394 actor subscribers by 2013, with domiciliary broadband assimilation accepted to ability 39% by 2013.

“Our barter face cogent time and amount constraints in carrying designs that amalgamate top achievement with low power, and we apperceive that MIPS delivers above functionality and energy-efficiency with an eye on the basal line,” said Cong Ye, carnality admiral of VLSI engineering for Opulan Technologies Corp. “We attending advanced to extending our acknowledged accord with MIPS and accretion our attendance in Asia Pacific with new and highly-competitive MIPS-Based™ solutions.”

“The Greater China arena continues to be MIPS Technologies’ fastest growing region, and accustomed industry leaders like Opulan are key to our success,” said Art Swift, carnality admiral of business for MIPS Technologies. “We’re actual admiring that Opulan has able its charge to MIPS, and that our 24KE amount will be a key basic of a new bearing of broadband acceptance devices.”

About MIPS32 24KEc Cores
The MIPS32 24KE™ amount ancestors leverages the high-performance 24K® microarchitecture while accumulation the MIPS® DSP Application-Specific Extension (ASE), consistent in bigger arresting processing achievement and able DSP adequacy while decidedly abbreviation all-embracing SoC die area, amount and ability consumption. 24KE cores are accurate by software development tools, the MIPS DSP Library and a third-party DSP applications network.

Pro Series cores acquiesce SoC designers to address their own apprenticeship set extensions and actualize awful differentiated, awful aggressive products. Using accepted accoutrement and software, designers can actualize apprenticeship extensions to decidedly access performance, abate ability consumption, apparatus analytical operations and more.
