Recently CATC announced new releases of several products:
- With the announcement of the USBMobile(TM) HS (High Speed) analyzer, CATC becomes the only company to offer a portable, PC Card sized, USB 2.0 analyzer supporting the full range of the USB specifications -- 480 Mbps, 12 Mbps and 1.5Mbps, as well as USB On The Go (OTG). The product, with the complete capacity of the intuitive and powerful CATC Trace(TM) expert analysis software, has been specifically tailored for use by field application engineers and technicians to troubleshoot and diagnose equipment on-location, which represents a large, un-penetrated market opportunity for CATC.
- With the announcement of the PETracer(TM) ML, a multi-lane PCI Express analyzer supporting up to 8 lanes of traffic, CATC further leverages its leadership position in the nascent market for PCI Express analyzers. This quarter we also announced that industry leaders such as NEC have adopted the PETracer to help them meet their demanding product schedules. CATC further announced that VMETRO, a leading supplier of PCI and VME bus analyzers, has entered into an OEM distribution agreement whereby VMETRO will sell the CATC PETracer family of PCI Express protocol analyzers. This agreement enables both companies to leverage their individual strengths to deliver a superior line of PCI Express design and validation tools. With PCI Express anticipated to replace PCI in desktop, notebook, server and communications markets, our customers are beginning to integrate the technology into products expected to reach the market next year.
- With a new release of the BTTracer/Trainer(TM) CATC brings to market the first analyzer capable of capturing, decoding and analyzing the new Bluetooth(R) V1.2 specification. As our customers begin to focus on delivering their next generation V1.2 compliant products to market, we believe CATC is well positioned to take advantage of this transition by leveraging our market-leading installed customer base. We also announced the Bluetooth HCITracer(TM), an add-on probe, which provides software designers an easy-to-use, economical solution for software design and system debugging. This addition to our Bluetooth product family allows CATC to extend its product reach by specifically targeting the software development community.
