Ethernity Networks Grows Asian Relationships

Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET.L), a leading supplier of data processing offload solutions on programmable FPGA (field programmable gate array) hardware for accelerating telco/cloud networks, today updates on the growth of its Asian business relationships, through both multiple new distribution arrangements and a collaboration with a Tier-1 Japanese OEM.

The Company has recently entered into new distribution arrangements for its FPGA systems-on-chip (SoCs) and system solutions with leading distribution and semiconductor trading companies covering the Taiwanese, South Korean, and Japanese markets. Ethernity believes these new arrangements will lead to new commercial engagements, primarily with OEMs in the Asian marketplace.

Leading on from these new relationships, the Company was pleased, at the end of 2021, to fulfill an order from a Tier-1 Japanese OEM for a number of Ethernity's ACE-NIC100 FPGA SmartNICs. The Company is now working with the OEM toward adapting the SmartNIC to work within the OEM's 5G virtualization environment.

David Levi, CEO of Ethernity, commented: "We are very excited with the new distribution arrangements which will allow us to expand our reach into the Asian Market. The order from the Tier-1 Japanese OEM is the first step towards what we hope will be a wider relationship with the OEM, leading to larger orders. It is a sign of confidence from the industry of the quality of products being offered by Ethernity."
