Stockholm, Sweden and Tempe, AZ — June 21, 2005 — Enea announced today that World Wide Packets has selected Enea’s high availability application development framework and OSE teal-time operating system (RTOS) and development tools for use in its next-generation, carrier class Ethernet broadband access system. These products from Enea will provide real-time control and advanced carrier class capabilities for new products in the World Wide Packets LightningEdge® solution.
 
“We are very pleased that World Wide Packets has selected Enea for use in its next-generation broadband multimedia delivery systems,” said Per Åkerberg, president of Enea. “Our high-availability application development framework provides advanced messaging services, event logging, web-based monitoring, and in-service upgrade management that should prove invaluable for adding carrier class capabilities to the LightningEdge platform.”

World Wide Packets’ solution is deployed in broadband fiber access networks around the world including North America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia. The company has built a significant beachhead within the municipality and utility markets while developing a growing customer base with Multiple Service Operator, Competitive Local Exchange Carrier, Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier and Greenfield developers. World Wide Packets’ LightningEdge solution enables the delivery of simultaneous telephony, business and entertainment video, broadband data, and Internet access services, to any combination of business and residential subscribers, using Ethernet over fiber and copper media.

”As our Ethernet access solution continues to gain significant momentum with global carriers, we look to partner with best-in-class companies to ensure we are delivering the most reliable and scalable solution on the market. We choose Enea's application development framework because it provides a suite of distributed programming tools that greatly simplify our application software development.  The HA framework and in-service upgrade manager were particularly helpful in accelerating delivery of these complex capabilities," said Michael Nielsen, executive vice president of engineering of World Wide Packets.
