D2 Technologies Demonstrates First VoIP Solution on Cavium Networks' OCTEON(TM) Processor Family at VON Fall 2006

 Single-Chip Solution for SOHO/SME Network OEMs Adding VoIP Port to Secure
                            Routers and Gateways

    SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- D2 Technologies, the
leader in softDSP-based system solutions for the rapidly growing VoIP
market, announced today the successful demonstration of the first VoIP
solution on Cavium Networks single and dual core OCTEON MIPS64 based
processor family. A demo of the joint solution is available for viewing at
Fall VON 2006 in D2's hospitality suite 202, September 11-14 at the Boston
Convention and Exhibition Center.
    "D2 Technologies and Cavium Networks have worked together to combine
our widely-used vPort 'softDSP' VoIP CPE software with the OCTEON line of
processors. It is the ideal solution to enable ODMs to add VoIP
functionality to devices based on the OCTEON product line without requiring
the addition of a DSP chip," says Doug Makishima, vice president of
marketing at D2 Technologies. "Together, we provide a solution for
next-generation gateways with integrated data and voice functionality along
with critical network security."
    D2 Tech's vPort VoIP software system is designed to provide world-class
VoIP sound quality on a single chip without the need for an external DSP.
vPort software has been deployed in multiple service provider networks
across multiple countries in consumer and small business products, such as
wired/wireless Voice-enabled Terminal Adapters, routers and gateways, as
well as VoIP phones and handsets.
    "The CN31XX and CN30XX OCTEON processors enable highly integrated, cost
effective SME, SOHO and CPE networking equipment that can process voice,
video and data traffic with unprecedented levels of data and security
services," said Rajiv Khemani, vice president of marketing at Cavium
Networks. "We are pleased to be working with D2 Technologies to deliver a
complete and optimized VoIP solution for OCTEON processors, which will
reduce time-to-market and fuel increased VoIP deployment in next-generation
OEM networking systems."
    The single and dual core OCTEON CN30XX and CN31XX SOC processors
provide unmatched performance that eliminates the requirement for separate
DSP chips to process voice, while simultaneously providing leading
networking and security capabilities. OCTEON processors are being used in
several applications that require voice as an important feature including
next generation 802.11n WLAN secure access points, SME/SOHO Routers,
Broadband Gateways/Routers, Gigabit CPE routers and Triple Play Gateways.
OCTEON is available with standard operating system support such as Linux
and VxWorks along with a suite of software applications to process multiple
channels of VoIP calls, router, gateway, NAS, firewall, Anti-Virus, IPsec
and SSL VPN functionality. For quick time to market, drivers for
peripherals including 802.11 a/b/g/n, wireline connectivity, MoCA
(Media-over-Coax), MPEG playback and streaming and disk storage are
available today.
