UBICOM JOINS FORCES WITH RED HAT TO SUPPORT DEVICE NETWORKING DESIGNERS

Red Hat GNUPro Development Environment To Run On Ubicom IP2000 Internet Processors


Mountain View, Calif., and Research Triangle Park, NC.--Feb. 26, 2001--Ubicom,
Inc. (formerly Scenix), a leader in providing Internet Processors and networking software
that enable ubiquitous communication, and Red Hat, Inc., (NASDAQ: RHAT) today
announced that they will work together to develop a port of the Red Hat GNUPro
embedded development tools to the Ubicom IP2000 family of Internet Processors. Red
Hat is the leading developer of open-source Internet infrastructure solutions, including
the award-winning Red Hat Linux server operating system, enterprise e-commerce
platforms, embedded operating systems and GNU-based developer tools and support
solutions for a wide variety of embedded processors.

As a result of the agreement, Red Hat will provide GNUPro development tools for
Ubicom’s IP2000 family of Internet Processors, which are used to provide Internet
connectivity in such applications as home appliances, security systems, remote
monitoring and control systems, and data gathering systems. The GNUPro development
tools will be available in the second quarter of 2001.

"Red Hat is excited about the Ubicom IP2000 Internet Processor family architecture and its
capabilities," said Michael Tiemann, Chief Technical Officer, Red Hat, Inc. "Like Red Hat,
Ubicom is investing in and providing key pieces of the Internet infrastructure, and we’ve found
that there is a great deal of synergy between us, especially in our mutual open-source vision of
Internet devices. In making the GNUPro tools suite available for use with Ubicom’s device-to-
device communication solutions, we’re again helping an innovative company come to market
quickly, and in this case feel that we’re also helping make the Internet a truly universal
connectivity medium."

GNUPro is Red Hat’s commercial software development suite of tools, which is built around the
open-source GNU standard and features a graphical interface, compiler, debugger, linker,
loader, utilities, C++ compilers, a debugger with a graphical user interface and other standard
utilities.

GNUPro products are tested, certified and produced as an integrated tool suite specifically for
commercial developers of both desktop and embedded products. Ubicom’s IP2000 Internet
Processor chips are optimized for network connectivity applications, and are ideally suited for
use in device-to-device communications networks. They can be programmed, and
reprogrammed, using Ubicom’s pre-built software modules, the source code for which is
available from the Ubicom Web site.

"We’re pleased at the prospect of leveraging Red Hat’s expertise with other high-end controllers
and processors, and are looking forward to working closely with them on the development of a
GNUPro tool suite for the IP2000, as well as extending the joint effort to future projects," said
Stephan Thaler, Ubicom’s vice president of marketing. "GNUPro is the leading
compiler/debugger tool suite used by software developers around the world, and will be ideal for
designers using the IP2000 Internet Processor chips and networking software modules. Red Hat
and Ubicom have both taken an open-source approach to the Internet infrastructure, and we’re
anticipating a long and fruitful partnership."
