Companies Extend Their Licensing Agreement to Provide Industry's Most        Advanced Bluetooth IP Offering

      IPextreme Inc., a semiconductor technology licensing specialist, has        extended its partnership with Infineon Technologies AG to bring        Infineon's BlueMoon™ UniCellular Bluetooth® 2.1 solution featuring        Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) functionality to the broad semiconductor market        in the form of a complete licensable IP core. Under the agreement,        IPextreme will market, sell, and provide front-line support for        Infineon's Bluetooth 2.1 IP and license it directly to customers.    

      Infineon is a leading supplier of Bluetooth technology and has shipped        more than 130 million Bluetooth devices, including more than 24 million        units of BlueMoon UniCellular to date. "Infineon will continue Bluetooth        innovations and will integrate Bluetooth functionality into future        generations of our baseband single-chip modems," said Ronen Ben-Hamou,        Vice President and General Manager, Entry Phones at Infineon        Technologies. "Communications is one of the three focus areas of        Infineon. Through our agreement with our long-time partner IPextreme we        extend availability of our well-proven Bluetooth solution to additional        markets."    

      The key features of the BlueMoon UniCellular IP core include:    

•         Compliance to the Bluetooth 2.1 and EDR level of Bluetooth standard      
•         Software upgradeable to Bluetooth 3.0      
•         Complete embedded Bluetooth subsystem, consisting of digital baseband,          radio modem, and software stack up to the HCI level      
•         Production-proven silicon in standard 130nm CMOS process      
•         Roadmap to process nodes below 130nm in 2010      
•         Roadmap to support the Bluetooth Low Energy standard in 2010      

      "We see a continuous demand for a high quality, proven IP solution in        the Bluetooth market and BlueMoon will be an attractive solution for        customers with high volume devices that can benefit from integration of        a trusted Bluetooth solution," said Warren Savage, IPextreme CEO. "We're        pleased to be able to deepen our relationship with Infineon to bring        such leading-edge technology to the market."    

      The agreement builds upon an already successful relationship between the        two companies, first established in June 2004, whereby IPextreme has        been selling and delivering the popular Infineon C166™ S and TriCore™        16-bit and 32-bit microcontroller cores, and more recently MultiCAN,        MLI, and MSC interface cores as well as MCDS, a multi-core debug        solution, all widely used in the automotive market.    

      The BlueMoon IP solution is available for license today. More        information can be found at www.ip-extreme.com        or by email inquiry to info@ip-extreme.com.
