Radware Enables Pelephone, One of Israel's Leading Mobile Operators, to Streamline its Mobile Service
Offers transparent smart redirection and dynamic policy enforcement to optimize customer service
TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb 16, 2010 -- Radware (Nasdaq: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today announced that Pelephone, one of Israel's leading mobile operator and telecommunications providers, will deploy its Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG) solution for dynamic traffic steering and flexible policy enforcement; supporting Pelephone's Mobile Service Platform, which serves 2.7 million mobile subscribers.
The growing popularity of mobile devices has increased demand for traffic-consuming mobile applications. This mobile broadband explosion, where customers want unlimited browsing access to Internet portals, content and application sites, led Pelephone to invest and expand its 3G and core infrastructure, introduce 3.75G radio access technologies, and restructure and secure its Multi Service Platform (MSP) architecture - to better support the new mobile service demands. As a result, the Company enlisted the help of Radware to implement its vigorous, reliable MIG solution, to improve value-added service (VAS) utilization.
"The acceleration of new mobile applications coming to market, combined with a steady adoption of sophisticated communications devices has created a glaring need for mobile operators to commission the types of integrated solutions that promote reliable network services at rapid speeds," said Doron Kurtz, VP engineering , Pelephone. "By leveraging Radware's technology, we have the flexibility to steer traffic according to dynamic policy decisions, maintain efficient bandwidth management, achieve better network cost per bit, and reduce network vulnerabilities." As part of the MIG solution, Pelephone has deployed Radware's Content Inspection Director (CID) (R), a transparent smart redirection and dynamic policy enforcement device. This helps Pelephone increase user-content-handset visibility, quickly introduce new value-added services, and enrich content to support the movement towards an "open garden" concept, which can support the introduction of application and content from Internet application service providers.
Using CID's smart traffic steering engine on Radware's OnDemand Switch(TM) platform, Pelephone can dynamically enforce policies according to real-time network and service preferences, and also align services according to user profiles based on real-time queries from external user repositories. Additionally, the OnDemand approach allows Pelephone to scale service throughput up to 16Gbps on a "pay-as-you-grow" model. With Radware's integrated solution, Pelephone can enhance customer QoE and rapidly introduce new monetization engines/applications to address competition outside the "walled garden," which could potentially lower Pelephone's ARPU (average rate per user).
"The introduction of mobile broadband radio technologies such as HSxPA, along with a width range of 'traffic guzzler' smart-phones and applications, required Pelephone to invest in new technologies that would best control the growing traffic within its network, keeping subscribers satisfied with new value-added services and finding ways to generate revenue to stay market-competitive," said David Aviv, Vice President, Advanced Services, Radware. "Radware's Mobile Internet Gateway solution is specifically designed to provide mobile operators the tools they need to transparently manage their traffic, increase visibility, reduce operational expenses, and ensure ongoing return on investment - in both current architecture and support future migration towards 3GPP Rel 8 and Rel 9 (LTE) based network architectures." Radware's AppDirector(R) and CID solutions is part of the Company's Business-Smart Data Center strategy, which is based on an approach to offer a range of innovative capabilities inclusive of pay-as-you-grow procurement models and a series of compelling 'on demand' platforms. For more information about Radware, its products or business strategies please visit: www.radware.com.

Skyworks Introduces Family of GaAs and SOI Antenna Switch Modules for 2/3/4G Wireless Broadband and Mobile Handset Applications
Devices Complement Company's Industry-Leading Front-End Solutions Portfolio and Demonstrate Broad Technology Capabilities
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb 16, 2010 -- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets, today announced that it has introduced a family of antenna switch modules (ASMs) for 2/3/4G handset and data card platforms using both gallium arsenide (GaAs) as well as silicon on insulator (SOI) technologies. Skyworks products address the three primary switching functions: main antenna, diversity, and band/mode.
These compact solutions deliver state-of-the-art technology to meet both high performance and low-cost architectures, depending upon the interface requirements. By delivering a comprehensive RF switch portfolio based on both technologies, Skyworks is able to augment its already broad portfolio of world-class switches currently used in the company's front-end modules.
"Skyworks is pleased to be supporting such a broad range of next-generation wireless broadband and mobile handset applications with our new family of antenna switch modules," said Dr. Gene A. Tkachenko, Skyworks' senior director of engineering. "These solutions highlight the breadth and depth of our technology as we look to best serve our customers' needs on multiple fronts and with highly integrated architectures." About Skyworks' 4G GaAs pHEMT and SOI Antenna Switch Modules -- The SKY13362 is a single-pole ten-throw (SP10T) ASM with an integrated complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) decoder and dual low pass harmonic filters. The small 3.0 x 3.8 mm switch has five 3/4G transmit-receive (TRx) ports, three receive (Rx) ports, and two global system for mobile communications (GSM) transmit signal low-pass harmonic filters that make it the flexible choice for multiple combinations of 2/3/4G multimode cellular applications. Using advanced switch technologies, the ASM maintains low insertion loss and high isolation on both transmit, transmit-receive and receive switching paths. Additionally, the switch was designed to meet or exceed system requirements for 2nd and 3rd harmonics into an antenna mismatch up to 5:1, while delivering linearity (excellent triple beat ratio), and second and third order (IP2, IP3) intermodulation distortion performance to provide manufacturers with sufficient margin in the certification process.
-- The SKY14152 is a low-cost, single-pole eight-throw (SP8T) ASM for use in multimode embedded data cards. The compact 3.2 x 3.2 mm device is designed for universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), code division multiple access (CDMA2000), enhanced data for GSM evolution (EDGE), and GSM applications and supports flexibility with up to five 3/4G TRx bands. The device consists of an SP8T switch, GSM transmit signal low-pass harmonic filters, and a RX SAW filter.
-- The SKY14153 is a low-cost, single-pole four-throw (SP4T) switch designed for wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) and diversity switching applications that demand high linearity and low-insertion loss. The compact 2.0 x 2.0 mm switch is optimized for third generation partnership project (3GPP) 3/4G bands from 0.70 to 2.7 gigahertz (GHz).
-- The SKY14155 is a low cost, double-pole four-throw (DP4T) switch designed for broadband, 3/4G band switching applications which demand low insertion loss, high isolation, and high linearity. The compact 2.0 x 2.0 mm switch is manufactured using a state-of-the-art SOI process, and is optimized for 3G WCDMA mode/band switching applications.
-- The SKY18106 is a SP8T ASM designed for multimode, high power switching applications that demand low harmonics and insertion loss. The 3.2 x 4 mm switch is optimized for both 2G GSM/EDGE and 3G WCDMA applications and supports up to six 3/4G TRx ports with very low insertion loss, high isolation and excellent linearity under antenna mismatch conditions.
The newly introduced switch, ASM and FEM devices rely on state-of-the-art pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), SOI, integrated passive device (IPD), and wafer-level chip-scale package (WL-CSP) SAW technologies. No external blocking capacitors are required on any of the RF ports for all of these devices -- thus minimizing customers' bill of materials and occupied board space.
Pricing and Availability Samples of the SKY14152, SKY14153, SKY14155 and SKY18106 are currently available. The SKY13362 will be sampling in the second quarter of 2010. For customized pricing, please contact sales@skyworksinc.com.
