This order for ComStruct CompactPCI(r) CPCI/C6402 and VMEbus VME/C6420 DSP resource boards is initially worth $6.2 million.bluews.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Introducing FACT-RT, Optimized Software for Real Time Embedded Applications ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FACT-RT is a new version of FACT, our powerful subsystem development and management software. FACT-RT is optimized for rapid development of very high-density embedded applications where channel count and speed of operation are critical. By using this new FACT technology, Blue Wave's customers can devote more project time to developing innovative new services, a crucial differentiator in the competitive telecommunications market.bluews.com ---------------------------------------------------------- VoIP Development Tool Pairs Blue Wave And Sun Microsystems ---------------------------------------------------------- Nu Horizons Electronics Inc. is to use ComStruct building blocks in the voxbox, its new Internet Protocol (IP) Development Tool. Also incorporating a Sun Microsystems CompactPCI host board, the voxbox enables network and telecom equipment providers to rapidly design and deploy Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions.bluews.com ------------------------------------------------------- Blue Wave Receives More Major ComStruct Wireless Orders ------------------------------------------------------- ComStruct orders with a cumulative value of more than $4 million have been received from a leading provider of wireless data solutions. The customer is using the VME/C6420 DSP resource board to provide the functionality and processing power required to carry out practical trials on third generation networks.bluews.com In a separate development, a volume ComStruct order was received from another leading supplier of wireless solutions. Worth $2.5 million the latest order of CPCI/C6400 DSP resource boards will support the customer's powerful platform for next generation wireless networks.bluews.com -------------------------------------------------- EVRC for FACT Enables Faster CDMA Network Upgrades -------------------------------------------------- Support for next-generation wireless networks by Blue Wave's FACT software has been extended thanks to the integration of EVRC (Enhanced Variable Rate Codec), the latest voice coder for CDMA. EVRC compresses voice for transfer across the wireless network and its flexibility allows the scaling of bandwidth according to the load on the system at any given time, providing a balance between capacity and quality. By integrating the voice coder into FACT, Blue Wave Systems will enable telecom infrastructure developers to significantly reduce the time required to upgrade CDMA networks with EVRC.bluews.com ------------------------------ Racal Recorders Increase Order ------------------------------ Racal Recorders has increased the value of its ComStruct order for use in its latest and most advanced recording platform. This latest order - worth more than $700,000 - is for Blue Wave's ComStruct CPCI/C6400 CompactPCI hardware platform and FACT software. bluews.com Regards Blue Wave Systems
