Advanced Carrier Ethernet Equipment Design Focus of Linley Tech Seminar

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—January 15, 2009—The Linley Group, the leading provider of
independent technology analysis in semiconductors for networking, communications,
mobile, and wireless, presents "Carrier Ethernet Equipment Design," the first Linley Tech
Seminar of 2009.

This one-day event focuses on emerging markets and technologies including 100G
Ethernet, packet optical transport, and Carrier Ethernet in access/backhaul. The seminar
features in-depth presentations from leading vendors on network processors, packet
processors, transport processors, PHY components, intellectual property, and software
stacks.

"Central to the development of a wide range of solutions, Carrier Ethernet technology
enables new equipment types and higher-speed networks from packet optical transport
and Ethernet access to 100G Ethernet in the core,” said Bob Wheeler, senior analyst with
The Linley Group. "Rapidly evolving protocols and standards make it challenging for
network-equipment vendors and service providers to stay on top of this dynamic area.
