Design Win over 80 Mio. US-Dollar for network management in the USA
Eching by Munich, March 2nd, 2009. The Kontron AG, one of the world's
leading supplier of embedded computer systems, has again won a large Design
Win in a very important application area of the newest Telecommunications
Backbone Systems. Kontron will deliver platforms on the basis of ATCA
technology (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) for one of the biggest
north-american supplier of Telecommunications Networks. These modern third
and forth generation systems will provide much faster and more failure
toleranter control of the network infrastructure in comparison to current
backbones.
'These innovative technologies are prevailing more and more.' explains the
Kontron CEO, Ulrich Gehrmann. 'Especially in times of crisis, these
cost-effective and at the same time high-performance systems are a
profitable investment for companies employing them.'
This new development contract, which will span about four years, has a
total volume of over 80 million US-dollars. The first prototypes will be
developed and delivered still in 2009, whereby the full production is to
start in 2010 and continue in the following years.
Kontron has already won over a variety of large firms in the
telecommunications industry for its comprehensive ATCA product portfolio.
The total value of this technology in telecommunications is believed to be
over seven billion US-dollars whereby the Kontron market share for embedded
computers is around 15%. With approximately 24%
of total business volume, applications in telecommunications have achieved
the highest proportion of the vertical market segments at Kontron AG.
