Team ASA Releases Dual Gigabit Ethernet NPWR Linux Engine with 733
MHz XScale CPU


San Diego, CA -- Team ASA Inc., a manufacturer of high-performance
cross platform networking products, today announced the latest
release in the NPWR single board networking computer series.  NPWR
enables large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to quickly and
seamlessly implement high performance and low footprint storage
network products based on the latest XScale I/O processor
architecture.

NPWR, the first Single Board Networking Computer (SBNC) designed for
manufacturers and OEMs in the Network Attached Storage (NAS), RAID,
and Personal Server marketplaces, is now available with dual Gigabit
Ethernet ports.

The NPWR is powered by the Intel XScale processor, a RISC CPU with
clock rates reaching as high as 733 Mhz. NPWR's standard
configuration includes a 160 Mbytes per second  (LVD) SCSI port, 8
Mbytes of FLASH ROM, 128 Mbytes of SDRAM and Dual Gigabit Ethernet
ports. The new dual Gigabit design of NPWR also has a more efficient
power supply, which actually decreases the power consumption.

"The new Dual Gigabit Ethernet NPWR doubles the networking bandwidth
and runs on 40% less power" said Mark Murray president of Team ASA.
"The Dual Gigabit Ethernet NPWR consumes only 15 watts at 5 volts"
continued Murray.

Every NPWR includes Team ASA's Linux port on CDROM.  The NPWR CDROM
also includes all tools, documentation and sources needed to make any
NPWR based product an immediate success. NPWR is factory configured
with a Flash ROM disk running Linux to ensure expedited product
development.
  "OEMs can use NPWR to build NAS, Mail Servers, Firewalls, Routers
and Web Servers," said Mark Murray, president of Team ASA. "Our
customers can take the NPWR out of the box and implement a new
product in a single day."

Team ASA began shipping the Dual Gigabit Ethernet version of the NPWR
on January 7th, 2002.  Suggested retail pricing for Dual Gigabit
Ethernet at the following speeds is as follows, 400 MHz NPWR is $995;
the 600 MHz NPWR is $1,095 and the pricing for the 733 MHz. NPWR is
$1,295.  OEM pricing is available on request.
