SANTA CLARA, CA – January 3, 2007 – EDN magazine has named the HybriCore Chipset from Enigma Semiconductor to this year's list of winners in its annual Hot 100 Products issue. EDN's staff of technical editors analyzes and compares the industry's product introductions and makes its selections at the end of each year. Read about all the products in EDN's December 15, 2006 issue and at http://www.edn.com/2006hot100. Products that appear in EDN's annual Hot 100 Products issue are chosen by its editors from the hundreds of newsworthy items that grace the pages of EDN, whether they appeared in EDN's New Products section, a feature story, or an online exclusive. The list encompasses a range of architectures and technologies and a plethora of categories — from analog ICs to multimedia to test-and-measurement tools. Enigma's product appears in the Communications category. "EDN editors cover an amazingly broad technology base and see compelling products across the spectrum throughout the year," states Editor in Chief Maury Wright. "The Hot 100 highlights the best of the products from our feature and new-product articles and web coverage over the course of the year. From components to processors to test instruments, each of these 100 stands out in the crowd." The HybriCore chipset is the world's first linearly scalable packet switching chipset. The chipset family, which features both packet switches and a range of fabric managers, sets new benchmarks for density, efficiency and flexibility. Based on Enigma's HybriCore™ architecture, the chipset streamlines time-to-market for OEMs designing next-generation metro access switches and routers, multi-service provisioning platforms (MSPPs), enterprise routers and storage platforms, as well as mesh and multi-chassis systems. HybriCore began sampling in mid-2006 and is being designed into next-generation switching platforms slated for commercial release in 2007. "Being recognized as one of EDN's Hot 100 Products of 2006 is a validation of the industry's direction toward the next generation in highly scalable switch design," said Rob Sturgill, president and CEO of Enigma Semiconductor. "Solving the dilemma of packet vs. cell-based switching with a chipset that presents the best of both worlds has made Enigma the premier supplier of next generation switching platforms that deliver the scalability required for triple play applications, while alleviating cost concerns among service providers and enterprises by providing this scalability incrementally."
