SELECTED FOR VOICE OVER IP SOLUTION

NetCentrex Selects CompactPCI and Linux for its IP Centrex Architecture

TEMPE, AZ =BESeptember 28, 1999=BEMotorola Computer Group, the leading =
provider of embedded computing platforms for original equipment =
manufacturers (OEMs), today announced that its CompactPCI(r)-based =
telecommunications platforms have been selected as the foundation for =
an IP gatekeeper solution from French IP telephony company NetCentrex.  =
Announced at NetWorld+Interop Paris '99, the CCS-XL Call Control =
Server=BEa next-generation switch aimed at the creation of IP network =
services=BEwill use Motorola's CPX2208T CompactPCI platform with the =
Linux operating system, as well as a high-performance computing engine =
built from a combination of MCP750 system-slot and MCPN750 non-system =
slot CompactPCI processor boards.  Utilizing off-the-shelf technologies =
such as CompactPCI and Linux( enables OEMs in this rapidly moving IP =
telephony market to bring their products to market faster by allowing =
them to focus on their core competency=BEsoftware.=20

"The CompactPCI components from Motorola provide us with an excellent =
platform for our architecture," said Olivier Hersent, founder and CEO =
of NetCentrex. "Running the CCS-XL gatekeeper over multiple CPUs with =
hot-swap capabilities is key to our ability to provide truly =
carrier-grade solutions.  Using standard open hardware and software =
such as CompactPCI and Linux shortens our development times =
dramatically, enabling us to bring our products to market release much =
more quickly."

The CCS-XL implements gatekeeper functions using the H.323 architecture =
to create a highly scalable solution.  This distributed architecture =
implementation gives the gatekeeper independent access to all call =
signaling, allowing it to manipulate calls without having to access the =
media flow directly. =20

Motorola's CPX2000 range provides powerful, economical and flexible =
platforms for OEMs and system integrators across a range of telephony =
and telecom applications.  The variants that incorporate an H.110 Time =
Division Multiplexed (TDM) telephony bus are particularly well suited =
to customer premise equipment (CPE) and enterprise applications such as =
voice over IP gateways, PBX and interactive voice response (IVR).  The =
CPX2208 platform, with integrated H.110 telephony backplane, uses an =
eight-slot chassis that features front and rear I/O connectivity, =
PICMG(r) 2.1 compliant hot swapping of I/O, a hot swap cooling system, =
AC or DC power supplies, and regular PICMG 2.0 rev 2.1 or PICMG 2.5 =
H.110 Telephony Bus CompactPCI backplanes.

The MCP750 system slot processor board provides overall control of a =
CompactPCI system. Operating in non-system slots, the MCPN750 boards =
allow the configuration of loosely coupled multiprocessor systems.  =
Both processor boards are based on Motorola's innovative PowerPlus =
architecture, which is designed to maximize both PowerPC 750 processing =
performance and data throughput, providing an optimum fit for demanding =
telecommunications applications such as an IP gatekeeper.  The MCPN750 =
is designed with hot-swap capability, allowing it to be exchanged for =
repair or upgrade while the system is in operation.

The CCS-XL Call Control Server is available from NetCentrex. The =
CPX2000, MCP750 and MCPN750 are included in the extensive range of =
CompactPCI embedded computing platforms from Motorola Computer Group =
and its distributors.
