by Single Tool Chain

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 22, 2011 - Enea® (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) today
announced that it is launching its first iteration of FastTrack, a
software evaluation kit for Freescale's QorIQ Qonverge™
(www.enea.com/qonverge (http://www.enea.com/qonverge)) products. 
FastTrack combines many of Enea's proven runtime software products and
tools into the industry's first low touch, easy-to-evaluate
heterogeneous multicore software environment.  FastTrack makes
installing, evaluating and prototyping a complete software platform for
QorIQ Qonverge products a simple, no-hassle proposition.

“The QorIQ Qonverge combines powerful Power Architecture® and StarCore®
DSP cores with additional hardware acceleration capabilities in a highly
integrated system-on-chip platform designed to accelerate development of
network applications like femto cells,” said Marcus Hjortsberg, vice
president of marketing at Enea.  “Until now, it has been difficult for
companies to evaluate heterogeneous multicore software solutions, and
virtually impossible to have a comprehensive, system-level debugging
solution. Enea's FastTrack evaluation kit provides companies with a
means to develop and prototype software quickly.”

Enea's FastTrack evaluation kit combines several different Enea software
products, including Enea OSE® Multicore Edition, Enea OSE®ck, Enea® LINX
and Enea® Optima, optimized for network applications, in an innovative
fashion to allow developers to begin working almost immediately. 
Out-of-the-box installation occurs with a few simple steps.  Within a
short period of time, developers can leverage the powerful
message-passing programming model seamlessly across QorIQ Qonverge's
Power Architecture and StarCore DSP cores while performance optimizing
their application with Enea's system-level debugging and profiling
tools.

Future versions of FastTrack will support configuration and deployment
of Linux as part of the rapid evaluation environment.

The QorIQ Qonverge Platform is a ready to develop solution based on e500
Power Architecture cores and the StarCore SC3850 DSP technology.  The
integrated system-on-chip
features multi-protocol hardware acceleration engines to form a potent
Layer 1, 2 and 3 baseband processing system.  

"Enea's FastTrack for the QorIQ Qonverge Platform offers our joint
customers a sophisticated and powerful software solution with a
compelling level of integration between the Power Architecture and
StarCore nodes that scales well with the application," said Stephen
Turnbull, marketing manager for Freescale's Wireless Access Division 
"We are pleased that Enea is offering an innovative evaluation package
for companies interested in QorIQ Qonverge products with technology that
has been widely proven in communications equipment including many of the
world's 3G and 4G basestations."

Enea's FastTrack evaluation platform for QorIQ Qonverge products is
available now.  To download go to
