“These results are a testament to the success of our Design Win business model and the growing momentum of our business, with demand rising steadily for both our flagship products – the high performance multi-port Gigabit Ethernet server adapters, and multi-port BYPASS adapters for security appliances and other mission-critical gateway applications. The 20+ Design Wins secured in 2003 and 2004 are now generating a continuous stream of orders for our products. At the same time, we continue to secure new Design Wins from the full range of market players, especially security appliance manufacturers. Our win rate confirms the need for — and value proposition of — our products.
