Motorola and Wind River Systems have announced that they have formed a
strategic alliance designed to provide integrated AdvancedTCA (ATCA) and
MicroTCA communication platforms with Carrier Grade Linux and VxWorks runtimes.

Through this agreement, Motorola's embedded communications computing business
and Wind River will work together to deliver bundled hardware and software
solutions for next-generation networking designs for the telecom, military and
aerospace, medical and industrial automation industries. The companies also will
provide joint customer support, as well as collaborate on product development
and on driving joint value for industry initiatives such as OpenSAF high
availability software, virtualization technologies and development environments
for multicore processors.

"Collaborating with an industry leader like Wind River demonstrates
Motorola's commitment to extend the benefits of leading-edge, multicore
technologies such as MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA to our joint customers," said
Stephen Dow, VP and GM, Embedded Communications Computing, Motorola, Inc.
"It also enables us to offer our customers a choice of the best components
from third party software providers, illustrating the strength and maturity of
the xTCA ecosystem."

"We look forward to strengthening our relationship with a respected
industry leader such as Motorola. Through our alliance, we expect to provide our
customers with access to leading edge technology as well as a simplified path
for them to adopt COTS hardware and software solutions," said Venkatesh
Kumaran, Country Manager India at Wind River. "Implementing fully tested,
integrated, and validated solutions from Motorola and Wind River will help our
joint customers to accelerate application development for next generation Linux
and VxWorks networking platforms."

The first bundled solution, a MicroTCA-based COTS solution with Wind River
Carrier Grade Linux, is now available through leading global distributors Arrow
Electronics, Inc. and Avnet Applied Computing Solutions. Other solutions
including the ATCA-9301 Cavium Octeon-based solution are expected to be
available later this year.
