Effnet Joins eNsemble™ Multi-Core Alliance to Drive Development of Header
Compression Software Technologies for Multi-Core Processors

Sweden, Luleå - April 28, 2010 - Effnet AB, the leader in header compression
technologies, today announced that it has become a member of the eNsemble™
Multi-Core Alliance, a premier industry organization founded to drive
best-in-class innovations on multi-core parallel processing platforms and
software development.  Supported by a broad base of world-class hardware and
software providers, the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance serves as the foundation
upon which original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can more effectively and more
efficiently develop high-performance networking equipment using industry-leading
multi-core processors.  

“With the demand for bandwidth growing exponentially, the best way to meet the
requirements is to use advanced technologies for efficient utilization of
available bandwidth and radio spectrum,” said Joakim Enerstam, Managing
Director, Effnet AB. “One such enabling technology is header compression. Effnet
AB, the leading independent vendor of header compression software technologies,
is excited to join the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance and bring its expertise in
header compression technology to the multi-core development community.”

Effnet AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Effnet Holding AB (publ), is a world
leader in the area of IP Header Compression. Effnet develops and sells embedded
software that increases the efficiency, speed and quality of IP traffic in
fixed, mobile and satellite networks. For more information about Effnet and more
information about IP header compression please visit www.effnet.com.

The Effnet ROHC™ product family is the market leading software solution for
Robust Header Compression based on RFC3095, RFC5225, RFC4906 and RFC3843, as
well as other compression standards used in 3G, 4G, LTE, WiMAX and satellite
networks. The Effnet ROHC™ product family is designed for easy and rapid
portability with highly structured software interfaces making 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 latency tolerant
capabilities. This makes Effnet ROHC™ a leading choice in wireless and satellite
network deployments. 

“Effnet is a leader in header compression technology for the 3G and 4G/LTE
mobile infrastructure market, and we welcome Effnet as a valuable member of the
eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance,” said Behrooz Abdi, executive vice president and
general manager at NetLogic Microsystems, a founding member of the eNsemble
Multi-Core Alliance.  “By having a community of technology innovators who are
respective leaders in their areas of expertise, the Alliance creates a platform
on which these developers can innovate to create new, breakthrough applications
and solutions that can take full advantage of the superior performance and
functionality of multi-core processors.”

As a founding member of the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance, NetLogic Microsystems
is opening up the programming model for its family of market-leading multi-core,
multi-threaded processors to Alliance members to allow greater access and
tighter coupling between networking software and the XLR®, XLS® and XLP™
multi-core processors.  This enables significant improvements in the application
development efficiency of software code and overall system performance.  In
addition, the open platform enables the development of new enhanced services and
applications for next-generation Internet networks that are highly optimized for
multi-core, multi-threaded processors.
