SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 1999-- Osicom Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FIBR - news)
announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Waltham, MA-based NETsilicon(TM) Inc., received Control Engineering Magazine's 1998 Editors' Choice Award in recognition for its NET+ARM(TM) embedded networking product. NETsilicon believes its family of embedded networking system products, the NET+(tm) product line, is the first standards-based networking system to offer a single chip solution that, in conjunction with the physical interface and memory, encompasses all of the required hardware and software necessary to network-enable electronic devices. Selected from among all the new products featured in last year's issues of Control Engineering, Control Engineering International and Process Instrumentation Digest, NET+ARM was chosen based on its service to the industry, technological advancement and market impact.
Control Engineering reaches a circulation of 90,000 and in combination with Control Engineering International and Process Instrumentation Digest the total circulation is 200,000 readers. All three are prestigious publications in their vertical target markets. A spotlight on NET+ARM will be featured in the March issue and is available online at manufacturing.net.
NETsilicon President and CEO Cornelius ''Pete'' Peterson said, ''We are gratified to receive this recognition from one of the industry's most influential publications serving the needs of the industrial automation and controls sector. This has been a prime target market for NET+ARM since its inception--one which we believe will benefit considerably from the open networking capabilities we bring to the table.''
NET+ARM was also the recipient of IndustryWeek's Top 25 Technologies of the Year in December. That honor was part of IndustryWeek's Technology and Innovations Award Program and was based on reader nominations designed to recognize outstanding achievement in technology.
