Raonet Chooses C-Port Chip

ATLANTA -- Networld+Interop -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), the leading supplier of communications processors, and Raonet, headquarters in Seoul, Korea, today announced that Raonet uses Motorola's C-5(TM) network processor as a pivotal technology in the R5, a scalable and service-adaptive, multi-gigabit access/edge IP router. This product is designed to provide multiple wire-speed access with support of different services in the emerging Cyber Subscriber network. The R5 has been named a finalist in the Best of Show awards for the Carrier Network Infrastructure category at Networld+Interop this week in Atlanta. "We needed revolutionary, progressive and open network technologies to build our high-speed, scalable router with flexible service adaptations," said Dr. Woojik Chun, CEO of Raonet. "We discovered that the C-5 network processor, with its cutting-edge integration and extensive programmability, more than met our needs. The programming environment allowed us to easily implement our design and helped accelerate our entry into the highly- competitive Korean systems market. The C-5's scalable and flexible architecture lets us adapt to various protocols and interfaces to address multiple market needs." "Our goal has been to enable the best communication quality to the carrier infrastructure through the implementation of MPLS technology," added Dr. Jaeho You, Director of R&D Center of Raonet. "With the C-5 network processor, we were able to use the C-Port reference applications as a stable base on which to program key MPLS extensions such as load balancing, path restoration, and Quality of Service (QoS)." Raonet selected the C-5 network processor as its core technology in November of 2000, and completed the R5 prototype by May 2001. The company officially announced the product on September 1, 2001 with demonstration of the prototype at Networld+Interop. Completion of the R5 commercial product (switching capacity of 5Gbps) is due on September 30, 2001. (http://www.raonet.com) Motorola Inc.
