FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Interpeak’s IPNET Secures IPv6 READY Approval

First commercially available TCP/IP stack to get approved for both host and router

LEESBURG, VA, and STOCKHOLM, Sweden – December 1, 2004 – Interpeak, a pioneer of Internet and security protocol solutions for embedded systems, today announced that IPNET, the company’s full-featured dual mode IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack, has successfully passed the IPv6 Forum’s requirements for using the IPv6 READY logo. Approval to use this logo bears witness to the work that Interpeak has performed in the IPv6 arena and signals to developers that IPNET is fully compliant with existing IPv6 standards.

The IPv6 READY Program provides a centralized approval system for products that will lead the transition to IPv6. Overseen by the IPv6 Forum, a global consortium of leading Internet vendors (www.ipv6forum.org), the program helps users identify IPv6-enabled products that are fully interoperable with other IPv6 equipment.

IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol, is starting to replace the current protocol, IPv4. A number of factors led to the development of IPv6, including a shortage of IPv4 addresses and security concerns. As the Internet transitions to IPv6, applications that require communication over the Internet will benefit from the dual-mode IPNET stack which can be used in both IPv4 and IPv6 settings.

“Being the first company to get IPv6 READY approval for a TCP/IP stack for both hosts and routers demonstrates Interpeak’s continued leadership in – and commitment to – the IPv6 arena,” said Lennart Bång, Interpeak’s vice president of engineering. “Developers can incorporate Interpeak’s embedded networking products into their devices with the confidence that the devices will be IPv6 ready.”

IPNET is a full-featured dual mode IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack, specifically designed for use in embedded real-time systems. The IPNET stack contains a comprehensive suite of protocols that enable embedded systems to take full advantage of the Internet. Like other Interpeak products, Interpeak’s IPNET runs on all major real-time operating systems (RTOSs), such as Linux, INTEGRITY, OSE, VxWorks, Nucleus, ITRON, and others.
