SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA, September 20, 2006 - Xelerated, the price/performance leader in network processing, today announced that it has set up a Design Center in Tel-Aviv, Israel. The focus of the Design Center is to accelerate the development of Xelerated's next-generation products.
Based on the two first product generations, the network processors (NPUs) X10q and X11, Xelerated has established itself as the leading supplier of high-performance NPUs for Metro Ethernet networking equipment. Xelerated's next-generation products will leverage this position by providing existing and new customers with a compelling cost-reduction path and increased processing power for future applications, and by introducing Traffic Management capabilities.
By opening a Design Center in Israel with a team of experienced Traffic Management designers already in operation, Xelerated has strengthened its ability to both deliver world-class products and release next-generation devices with shorter intervals.
"Israel is an excellent resource base for skilled system engineers and ASIC designers. We have been able to identify and recruit key engineers with immediately relevant skills and experience for the development of our next-generation products," says Mats Löfling VP of Engineering, Xelerated.
