NetLogic set to buy RMI for $183.4 million
NetLogic said RMI's customer base includes Alcatel-Lucent, Aruba Networks, Check Point Technologies, Cisco Systems, Datang Mobile, Dell, Fujitsu, H3C Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, Huawei Technologies, Huawei-Symantec Technologies, IBM, Juniper Networks, LG, McAfee, Motorola, NEC, Samsung, Sun Microsystems and ZTE.
NetLogic's portfolio includes knowledge-based processors, content processors, network search engines and 10-100 Gigabit Ethernet PHY products.
"Similar to the growth drivers that are opening up new opportunities for our knowledge-based processors and high performance physical layer products, the rapid growth in converged IP traffic and demand for the support of advanced IP services such as video, 3G/4G, voice-over-IP and enhanced security, are opening up new opportunities for high-performance multicore, multithreaded processors," said Ron Jankov, president and CEO of NetLogic, in a statement.
"RMI was founded on the vision to build a premier processor company that develops innovative products to power next-generation networking and communications equipment," said Atiq Raza, founder and former chairman and CEO of RMI, in the same statement. "This is the result of many years of hard work by RMI employees, and I believe the merger with NetLogic Microsystems is an exciting event with significant potential."
The transaction remains subject to closing conditions, including the approval by the stockholders of NetLogic of the issuance of the shares of common stock for use in the transaction and required regulatory filings and reviews. NetLogic expects the transaction to close by the end of the third quarter of 2009.

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.
Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.
And the winners are:
In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
