VIEW, Calif., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MIPS Technologies,
Inc. (NASDAQ:MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard
processor architectures and cores for digital consumer and business
applications, today announced the selection of Avnet ASIC Israel,
Ltd. (AAI -- http://www.avnet-asic.com/), as a MIPS Technologies
Approved Design Center. AAI is a subsidiary of Avnet, Inc., one of
the world's largest distributors of semiconductors,
electromechanical components, enterprise network and computer
equipment, embedded subsystems and design services. AAI has already
worked on a variety of complex SoC designs for MIPS Technologies
licensees worldwide. Adimos, a leading provider of wireless
multimedia connectivity solutions for consumer appliances, used the
MIPS32(R) 4KEp(TM) core in the company's Wireless Video Module(TM)
(WVM) design, enabling high quality multimedia transmissions over a
wireless channel between any multimedia source (DVD, VCR, Set-Top
Box and Media Servers) and a multimedia display (Plasma TV, LCD TV,
home projectors or projection TV). BroadLight licensed the MIPS32
4KEc(R) processor core for use in its BL2000 GPON (Gigabit Passive
Optical Network) and BPON (Broadband Passive Optical Network) SoCs.
By incorporating the 4KEc core, BroadLight was able to
significantly reduce development cost and speed time to market with
the industry's first complete end-to-end GPON solution. "Our
services allow semiconductor companies and OEMs to better manage
their engineering resources, get to market faster and keep costs
