Product Launch

Concurrent Technologies Plc Product Launch New VME dual-core processor, dual PMC board Concurrent Technologies Plc ("Concurrent") a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, announces the launch of its latest single-slot VME dual PMC single board computer, the VP 417 /03x. It uses the latest mobile dual-core processors from Intel®, giving customers improved performance/watt and making it ideal for low power intensive processing applications. This new board represents an upgrade from the previous VP 31x/02x family and so will be of great interest to Concurrent's existing customer base looking for increased performance with new and next generation projects. The VP 417/03x includes extensive input/output functionality and flexibility and is currently available in commercial and extended temperature versions; the ruggedised, conduction-cooled versions will be introduced shortly. All of these features will make the board suitable for a range of applications within the defence, industrial control and transportation markets. Developing products that provide increased performance well suited to customers' demanding applications is key to the Company's current marketing drive. Glen Fawcett, Managing Director, commented: "The release of this new VME family of single board computers is part of our continuing product development plans to provide an upgrade path for our main Pentium M based boards to the very latest Intel® dual-core processors. "This high performance VME product is pin compatible with the earlier generation product and therefore provides an easy technology upgrade for existing customers. It will also be available later this year in a ruggedised format and should therefore also be an attractive solution for applications within very harsh environments." 28 August 2007 Contacts: Concurrent Technologies Plc 01206 752 626 Glen Fawcett, Managing Director Nexus Financial Ltd 020 7451 7050 Nicholas Nelson/Kathy Boate Nominated Adviser Brewin Dolphin Investment Banking Alan Stewart 0845 213 1120 All trademarks, registered trademarks and trade names used in this announcement are the property of their respective owners.
