Lucent Selects Birdstep's RDM Embedded Database for Lambda Xtreme

Seattle/Oslo, Norway - April 23, 2003 - Birdstep Technology today announced that Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) has licensed Birdstep's RDM Embedded database for use with Wind River Systems' VxWorks(r) real-time operating system. Lucent integrates Birdstep's database into their LambdaXtreme Transport(tm), a next generation DWDM transport system.

"RDM Embedded has proven to be a fast and reliable solution that ensures the safety and availability of data stored on our system," said Vivek Arya, director of product management, Lambda Xtreme, for Lucent. "We selected Birdstep's database to enable us to meet the critical performance requirements that our customers demand."

Lucent's system requires the speed of a database in RAM memory and, for reliability and integrity, a mirror image of the database in flash memory.

RDM Embedded is a small-footprint, high-performance database that developers can easily deploy in mission-critical applications for industries such as finance, healthcare and telecommunications. Customers are assured data security, integrity and availability with RDM Embedded data mirroring, transaction processing and automatic crash recovery, as well as zero database administration and the industry's smallest footprint.

"Our customers choose RDM Embedded to meet the high-priority requirements of embedded applications, ranging from complex real-time systems to compact high performance applications," said Hans-Arne L'orange, chief executive officer, Americas for Birdstep. "We are pleased that Lucent continues to rely on our database to ensure system-critical performance."
