Design win of over $100 million for ATCA technology and further major order
in the gaming area
Eching, Munich, April 6, 2009. Kontron AG continues to experience very
strong demand in important application areas despite the global economic
crisis. One of the largest international telecoms equipment suppliers has
selected the world's leading provider of embedded computer systems to
supply it in the future with platforms using the latest ATCA technology.
'Advanced Telecommunications Computer Architecture' manages the backbone
infrastructure of telecommunications networks in a particularly rapid and
reliable manner. This design win in the important future area of
telecommunications has a total volume of over $100 million, and is intended
to run for a period of at least five years.
Kontron has also won a further specific order in the classic gaming
application area: one of the world's leading manufacturers of gaming
machines will equip its latest product generation with Kontron technology.
The $18 million order comprises the development and production of
corresponding platforms based on ETX modules and Intel Core 2 Duo
processors, and is intended to enter its start-up phase by as early as next
year. 'These new transactions prove once again that, particularly in
periods of crisis, companies have confidence in our cost-effective and
high-performance systems, and are investing in reliable products,'
commented Kontron CEO Ulrich Gehrmann.
