Another star of ComNet advertising big time: ( BW)(CA-SOFTCOM-MICROSYSTEMS) Softcom Microsystems' GigaBlade Wins Best New Product Award at COMNET 99; Attendees and Experts Rate GigaBlade Best of Show for LAN and Internetworking Business Editors/Technology Writers ComNet DC 99 WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 1999--Softcom Microsystems, Inc. was awarded the New Product Achievement Award for its GigaBlade(TM) Internet Accelerator subsystem this week in the category of LAN and Internetworking at the COMNET 99 carrier and wide area networking tradeshow in Washington, DC. The New Product Achievement Awards are a three step process where vendors respond to a product questionnaire which is voted on by a broad panel of industry experts. The panel selects finalists in each category based on benefits such as return on investment, product lifecycles, interoperability, and innovative value to the industry. After being voted a finalist, each vendors' product had to receive a majority vote from the COMNET 99 tradeshow during the first two days of the show. Softcom received the LAN and Internetworking award out of 330 exhibiting and 110 possible Finalists. "This was the first time that a semiconductor and subsystem company has won a New Product Achievement Award in its nine year history," said Tony Stelliga, CEO of Softcom Microsystems, Inc. "We have all worked very hard at Softcom to demonstrate the benefits of our GigaBlade(TM) Internet accelerator subsystem," stated Stelliga, "we were rewarded by not only a panel of experts, but by end users and service providers from the data and telecommunications worlds. The whole company shares in this success." About Softcom Founded in 1996, Softcom Microsystems develops products that unlock the untapped potential of the Internet. Softcom believes the underlying infrastructure of public networks must exceed the performance needs of high bandwidth systems and be able to provision services that will drive technology-enabled business practices. This fundamental shift can only happen if the components within the infrastructure evolve far beyond present implementations. To this end, Softcom produces smart silicon and acceleration subsystems that are a revolutionary fusion of switching, routing, and silicon. The Softcom GigaBlade(TM) Internet Accelerator subsystem was a finalist and runner up for the Best of Show at Networld + Interop, as well as winner the Investors Choice Award from Technologic Partners' Technology Outlook Conference.
