Cavium Networks and Effnet Announce Collaboration
NXTCOMM, Las Vegas, NV, US and Stockholm, Sweden, June 16th, 2008 - Cavium
Networks (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable intelligent processing for networking, communications, storage, wireless,
and security applications, and Effnet AB, a leading provider of header
compression software for wireless and fixed networks, today announced that
Cavium and Effnet are collaborating to make the Effnet ROHCTM header
compression software available on Cavium Networks' OCTEON MIPS64 multicore
processors. Cavium Networks' is presenting OCTEON on the NXTCOMM show floor in
meeting room MSL4204.
The Effnet ROHCTM is the market leading software solution for Robust Header
Compression based on RFC3095, as well as other compression standards used in 3G,
4G, LTE, WiMAX and satellite networks. Effnet ROHCTM is designed for easy, and
rapid portability with highly structured software interfaces. That makes it
suitable for integrating into handsets, customer premise equipment, base
stations, gateways and other wireless infrastructure equipment. The intelligent
pattern detection algorithms ensure maximum compression, combined with a latency
tolerant capability. This makes Effnet ROHCTM a leading choice in wireless and
satellite network deployments. Porting Effnet ROHCTM to Cavium's market leading
OCTEON Multi-Core processor creates a Header Compression solution of
unparalleled performance and scalability. OEM's using the OCTEON Processor will
now be able to license Robust Header Compression Software from Effnet AB, for
immediate use in their designs.
The Cavium Networks OCTEON family of Multi-Core MIPS64 processors offers
industry leading performance, scalability, low-power and advanced hardware
acceleration for intelligent networking applications ranging from 100Mbps to
full-duplex 10Gbps. These software-compatible processors, with one to sixteen
cnMIPS cores on a single chip, integrate next-generation networking interfaces,
memory controller, advanced hardware acceleration for packet processing, QoS,
TCP, multi-core scaling, pattern matching, compression/decompression, storage
and security with latest processor peripherals in a single chip. Additionally
the OCTEON processor family provides leading throughput and general purpose
programmability for Layer 2 through Layer 7 processing required for building
next-generation intelligent networks.
“Cavium's market leading OCTEON processors are being used by multiple wireless
infrastructure vendors” said Amer Haider, Director of Strategic Marketing and
Ecosystem Development at Cavium Networks. “Effnet is a market leader in header
compression technology with over 10 years of experience and an impressive tier-1
customer list. We are pleased to collaborate with Effnet to offer the Effnet
ROHCTM software on the OCTEON multicore processor family.”
“Our porting effort went quite smoothly and we are very pleased that our code
could be ported to the Cavium Octeon Multicore processors with minimum efforts.
This proves the great portability of Effnet's products.”, said Joakim Enerstam,
Deputy Managing Director, Effnet AB. “We have seen OCTEON in multiple Tier-1
wireless infrastructure designs and look forward to supporting the
high-performance and low-power OCTEON processor family.”
