SBS Technologies(R) Introduces AdvancedMC(TM) Carrier Blade Family for AdvancedTCA(R) Systems; Two or Four-Bay AdvancedTCA Carr

SBS Technologies(R), (NASDAQ: SBSE)

   --  2 (double-wide) or 4 (single-wide) bay, AMC.1, AMC.2,
        AMC.3-compliant AdvancedMCs

   --  x2 Gigabit Ethernet interface to all AdvancedMC bays (Common
        Options Region)

   --  Fully supports PICMG 3.0 Carrier blade and AMC.0 AdvancedMC
        module hot-swap functionality

   --  Carrier Management Controller (Carrier IPMC) supporting IPMI
        v1.5 system management

   --  Supports Automatic Protection Switching and telecom clock
        generation, distribution and control

   Today at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, California,
SBS Technologies(R), (NASDAQ: SBSE), a leading designer and
manufacturer of modular communication solutions, announced the
expansion of its telecommunications product line with an AdvancedTCA
carrier blade series. The SBS AT-AMC1 and AT-AMC2 carrier blades are
capable of hosting two double-wide or four single-wide AdvancedMC
modules to create application-specific blades from standard
off-the-shelf SBS Telum(TM) modules and other third-party AdvancedMC
cards.
   The AT-AMC series of carrier blades are ideal for system designers
creating high-performance telecommunications solutions using
AdvancedMC modules with specific networking features such as LAN/WAN
and storage I/O capabilities. SBS Telum AdvancedMC modules allow
AdvancedTCA servers to be optimized for next-generation IMS (IP
Multimedia Subsystem) and FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence) IP-centric
applications.
   "These ATCA AMC.1 and AMC.2-compliant carrier blades allow our
customers to build high-speed telecommunication applications that take
advantage of Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express technology. The modular
architecture of the AdvancedTCA platform allows our customers to build
with the latest processor and I/O AdvancedMCs today as well as
allowing them to upgrade the systems with new technologies in the
future as their applications evolve," said Rubin Dhillon, VP of
Communications and Enterprise for SBS.

   AT-AMC1 Carrier Blade

   This AMC.1-compliant carrier blade supports half-height,
full-height and extended full-height AdvancedMC modules. It features
two Gigabit Ethernet ports to the base interface and four Gigabit
Ethernet ports (2 channels, 2 ports per channel) to the fabric
interface of the AdvancedTCA backplane, allowing configuration
flexibility for dual star topology. The AT-AMC1 features three
AdvancedMC bays supporting x4 PCIe interfaces and one AdvancedMC bay
supporting an x8 PCIe interface, plus two Gigabit Ethernet lanes to
each AdvancedMC bay in the Common Options region.

   AT-AMC2 Carrier Blade

   This carrier blade supports half-height, full-height and extended
full-height AdvancedMC modules. It features two Gigabit Ethernet ports
to the base interface and ten Gigabit Ethernet ports (4 channels, with
4,4,1,1 port distribution) to the fabric interface of the AdvancedTCA
backplane, allowing configuration flexibility for dual star or full
mesh topologies. The AT-AMC2 features x4 Gigabit Ethernet lanes to all
AdvancedMC bays on lanes 4 - 7 and two Gigabit Ethernet lanes to each
AdvancedMC bay in the Common Options region.
   To protect customer investment, the onboard IPMI v1.5-compliant
Carrier IPMC subsystem on all carrier blades is firmware upgradeable
to IPMI v2.0. The Carrier IPMC monitors board voltage and temperature
conditions, maintains system status, and provides hot swap support.

   Flexibility & Modularity

   The AdvancedMC architecture has gained significant traction in
multiple applications and markets. The AMC.0 standard has been
developed to enable flexibility in the architecture of systems using
AdvancedMC modularity. The AT-AMC1 and AT-AMC2 products support
half-height, full-height and extended-full-height AdvancedMC modules.
Extended full-height is particularly useful for high port density
AdvancedMC I/O modules such as the Telum 628, 8-port T1/E1/J1. Future
configurations will support the emerging mid-size AdvancedMC module
form factor.
   In keeping with environmental policies, a RoHS-compliant version
will be made available.

   Price and Availability:

   List price starts at US$1,850. The AT-AMC1 and AT-AMC2 will be
available in limited samples in Q2 and volume quantities in Q3 2006.
