New Telelogic SDL Suite 6.0 Expands Functionality for Next-Generation Protocol
Development

SDL Suite 6.0 features strong support for Linux Host, Windows Vista and UML®
integration

MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California - 02 April 2007 - Telelogic (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) today announced the release of Telelogic SDL Suite™ 6.0,
which now features improved kernel architecture for next-generation protocol
development. 

The new release provides strong support for Linux® Host and Windows® Vista™ as
well as integration with the Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®). These new
capabilities reinforce SDL Suite's position as the leading Model Driven
Development™ (MDD™) solution for communications protocol development. 
SDL Suite 6.0 supports automated Model-Driven Development™ (MDD™) workflows,
which reduce development time and costs. New features enable engineers to
optimize their 2G and 3G wireless systems development process, while preparing
users for upcoming 4G systems. SDL Suite 6.0 also includes automation features
to handle the increased call reliability and data throughput of today's wireless
systems. 

The restructured execution kernel in SDL Suite 6.0 increases design flexibility
and improves protocol development for next-generation wireless systems by
enabling engineers to:

- Manage increased system resources
- Work with many more timers 
- Trade off between optimized performance and minimized resources"While the SDL language is acknowledged as the best design and implementation
approach for protocols, a key implementation issue is always scaling from a
verified protocol specification to an implementation with many concurrent
instances," said Rick Reed, Rapporteur and Group Chair, International
Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Standardization Sector (Q.11/17)."Such scaling depends on the run-time system kernel for SDL, which is usually
tool-vendor specific. The revised kernel that can handle large numbers
(thousands) of timers and instances in one of the major telecoms industry tools,
Telelogic SDL Suite 6.0, should therefore be an important, positive factor in
the provision of modern-day, complex and high-performance communications
protocols."

Via its integration with Telelogic Rhapsody®, the leading UML-based MDD solution
for embedded and real-time development, SDL Suite 6.0 provides a powerful, new
end-to-end UML/SDL solution that reduces development time and boosts product
quality. This combination of MDD approaches fully automates the development,
validation, code generation and testing of today's complex communications
applications and protocols.

SDL Suite 6.0 also supports Linux Host and Unicode. Linux support allows
developers to leverage a common OS between host and embedded device streamlining
testing, while Unicode enables globally distributed teams to work in their
natural design environment, lowering costs and increasing developer
productivity.  "Next-generation protocol development requires flexible, forward-thinking
solutions," said Ingemar Ljungdahl, Chief Technology Officer, Telelogic."Telelogic continues to lead the way in protocol development by providing proven
solutions for the world's most complex cell phone protocol stack development
projects. With Telelogic SDL Suite 6.0, we are now applying our SDL and UML
expertise with Linux Host and Windows Vista compatibility to meet the needs of
the 2G, 3G and upcoming 4G systems developer."

The SDL Suite 6.0 offers full SDL and TTCN support for the Windows Vista
platform. The average cost for an SDL Suite 6.0 development system is $17,900,
including model creation, execution, code generation and test generation.  In
addition, each SDL Suite 6.0 user under current maintenance will receive a free
copy of the Rhapsody Systems Architect modeling tool and the integration with
SDL Suite 6.0.


About SDL and TTCN Suites
Telelogic SDL Suite is a real-time, software development tool that provides
communications software specification and software development capabilities for
complex communications systems described using the ITU-T Specification and
Description Language (SDL) standard. Features include visual design and
automatic software generation to increase quality and productivity.

Telelogic TTCN Suite, the de facto standard environment for compliance testing
of communicating systems, is used worldwide to test telecom and datacom
equipment ranging from built-in communication chips to huge switches and
intelligent network services.

Along with the Telelogic TTCN Suite, SDL Suite has been successfully employed by
dozens of communications product developers. SDL Suite is the tool of choice for
the majority of cellular phone protocol stacks on the market today.
