COMIT SYSTEMS JOINS ARM
TECHNOLOGY ACCESS PROGRAM

Santa Clara, California - February 19, 2002: Comit Systems, Inc., the contract engineering company, announced tonight that it has joined ATAP™, the ARM technology access program. ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], is the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC processor solutions. The ATAP program provides a framework for selecting and enabling competent design centers with the ARM® technology necessary for system-on-chip (SoC) designs. ARM core-based SoC developers are able to use ATAP Partner services to aid with some of the more complex tasks associated with SoC design, 'bridging the gap' with any skill shortfall the developer may have.

Speaking at a reception on the occasion of Comit's 10th Anniversary, Chris Russo, Networking Segment Sales Manager for ARM said, "Comit has specific expertise in large SoC designs incorporating ARM processors. Comit is active in the areas of wired and wireless networking, digital imaging, storage area networks and handheld consumer applications. Comit's extensive experience in designing chips, boards and embedded software uniquely positions them to deliver complete system solutions. We are pleased to welcome Comit into the ATAP program as an ARM Approved Design Center."

"Comit offers full-service, turnkey ASIC design services from specs to GDS-II in geometries up to 0.13 micron, and has executed several ARM core-based SoC designs. The ATAP Partnership allows Comit to augment its offering to include ARM processor core hardening capability as well", said Niladri Roy, Director of Strategic Marketing for Comit. "Access to ARM PrimeCell® peripherals, coupled with Comit's proven methodologies for SoC design and verification, will result in significantly faster design cycles for our customers."

Comit completed a SoC design incorporating the ARM940T™ processor core for 2Wire, Inc. (www.2Wire.com), in the residential gateway space. "Comit helped us with both the ASIC and the embedded verification software for our home networking adapter SoC design," said Pat Romano, vice president of engineering for 2Wire. "Comit's skills base in both hardware and software made them a partner of choice for our complex SoC design."
