Galileo Announces Immediate Availability of Gigabit Ethernet Switch Controller Business Wire - October 12, 1998 09:26 NetWorld Atlanta Booth No. 1619 SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 1998--Galileo Technology (Nasdaq:GALTF) today announced that its GalNet-II(TM) Gigabit Ethernet Switch Controller, the GT-48320, is available now. The GT-48320 provides a complete Gigabit Ethernet switch-on-a-chip and fully supports the IEEE 802.3z standard and both fiber and copper physical layer connections. "The market growth of Gigabit Ethernet is paced by the availability of switches from a broad supplier base," said Manuel Alba, Galileo's president. "Our GT-48320, in concert with our other GalNet-II devices, provides OEMs with the ideal combination of high-performance and time-to-market, and will accelerate the emergence of Gigabit connectivity in Ethernet LANs." "Immediate availability of our GalNet-II Gigabit Ethernet switch controller means that our customers now have a complete solution to quickly establish themselves as leaders in the high-performance Gigabit switch race," said Moshe Steiner, Galileo's product line director for switched Ethernet controllers. "GalNet-II and the GT-48320 provide all of the features and performance needed to develop state-of-the-art Gigabit Ethernet switches." Silicon Availability + Reference Designs = Fastest Time To Market Galileo supplies complete reference designs supporting immediate lab evaluation and testing of many Ethernet switch configurations. For example, a managed or unmanaged 24-port Fast Ethernet plus 1-port Gigabit Ethernet switch may be quickly assembled and tested using evaluation boards available now from Galileo. Many other configurations are also possible for increased port count, stacking, and software development. See Galileo's Gigabit Ethernet in Operation at NetWorld+Interop '98 Atlanta Galileo will be demonstrating a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and a 24FE+1GE switch in our booth at the NetWorld+Interop '98 show in Atlanta, October 21 through 23. We will be located at booth No. 1619.
