SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA/SAN DIEGO, November 2, 2007 – Kontron was honored for its continued commitment to the development of multi-core platforms during the Intel Communications Alliance (ICA) Executive Summit on Wednesday October 24th in Scottsdale, Arizona. Intel selected Kontron to receive its “2007 Multi-core Alignment Award of Excellence” in the Alliance Hardware Member category.

The honor was awarded to Kontron for having the largest number and breadth of multi-core products based on Intel technology as measured by listings in the Intel ICA Solutions Directory.

“To be awarded the 2007 Multi-Core Alignment Award of Excellence reinforces Kontron’s commitment to developing innovative embedded computing platforms with the latest multi-core advances,” said Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron AG. “Ultimately, what our customers value is our ability to provide the form factors and system platforms that they require with the processing capabilities they need.”
