Enea Announces Comprehensive Support for LSI Axxia Communication Processor
Family

Enea OSE Multicore Edition RTOS, Enea Optima Tools and Packet Processing
Framework Simplify Multicore Development

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 11 February, 2010 - Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) today
announced that Enea OSE® Multicore Edition, the award-winning, hybrid-kernel
realtime operating system (RTOS) (www.enea.com/ose <http://www.enea.com/ose>),
will be the center piece of its comprehensive support for the new LSI(TM)
Axxia(TM) Communication Processor family.  This integrated multicore-based
offering, including Enea OSE, Enea® Optima and Enea's packet processing
framework will simplify data plane acceleration for OEMs building a wide-range
of wireless applications, including video streaming, web browsing and
high-quality digital voice.

"The new Axxia Communication Processor family from LSI is very advanced and
already garnering market interest and success for its Virtual Pipeline
technology," said Mathias Båth, senior vice president of marketing at Enea.
"The integrated offering we are announcing today, allows communications
equipment developers to access the full power of this new multi-core processor
including its hardware off-load capabilities through a common programming model
that eases the complexity of the design process."

LSI Axxia Communication Processors are capable of processing huge volumes of
wireless traffic with low latency and no load on the CPU complex. Virtual
Pipeline technology uses deterministic modeling and distributed queue management
to optimize inter-processor message routing. The result is improved efficiency
and less traffic congestion. In addition, this capability reduces CPU
utilization and bottlenecks, and provides high-performance security processing.
A comprehensive suite of development tools and application libraries with C-API
enable rapid development and system integration for networking systems and
complement a full range of Enea support.

"Enea is a well-known supplier of real-time operating systems employed in
embedded and networking applications," said Tareq Bustami, multicore product
line director, Networking Components Division, LSI. "Early turnkey availability
of Enea's OSE support for our Axxia Communication Processor family will enable
our customers to rapidly develop scalable, next-generation, high-performance
networking systems."

Enea support for the LSI Axxia family includes Enea OSE, a modular,
high-performance, full-featured, real-time operating system optimized for
complex multicore systems requiring the utmost in availability and reliability.
To take advantage of the latest multicore processors, Enea OSE is configured
with a unique and innovative kernel design that combines the advantages of both
traditional Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) and Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP)
while avoiding the disadvantages inherent in both programming models.The Enea
Optima tool suite builds on the open source Eclipse Platform and C/C++
development tools technology and provides advanced system level browsing,
debugging, profiling and analysis tools that greatly simplify the debugging and
optimization of large-scale distributed applications spanning multiple
processing engines.  Finally, Enea will support the Axxia family with its packet
processing framework, a portable, ANSI C compliant solution, which optimizes the
data plane through a "bare-metal" execution model and the support for polled
device drivers. The support is initially provided for UDP termination and IP
forwarding.
