Fujitsu Announces Global Launch Of Its Contactless Palm Vein Authentication Technology

New Fujitsu Solution Offers Industry-Leading Biometric Authentication Technology for High-Security Applications in Global Markets

SAN JOSE , Calif.
June 30, 2005

Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., one of the world’s leading suppliers of hard disk drives and computer peripherals and a market leader in document imaging scanners and services, today announced its new contactless palm vein authentication device to the North American market as part of Fujitsu’s global launch. There is increasing demand worldwide from governments to private sectors (including enterprises and individuals) for leading-edge biometric security technology. Fujitsu will strive to meet these needs and aim to promote its advanced security palm vein authentication technology with the goal of creating a de-facto standard in high-security markets.

Fujitsu’s palm vein authentication technology works by utilizing the unique characteristic of deoxidized hemoglobin. The palm vein device captures the palm image while radiating it with near-infrared rays. The deoxidized hemoglobin in the palm vein absorbs these rays, thereby reducing the reflection rate and causing the veins to appear as a black pattern. This vein pattern is then verified against the pre-registered pattern to authenticate the individual1. As veins are internal in the body and have a wealth of differentiating features, assuming false identity through forgery is extremely difficult, thereby enabling an extremely high level of security.

In addition to providing outstanding security, ease of use of Fujitsu’s palm vein device is key. The user simply places the palm of the hand above the reader and the machine does all the work, creating a contactless, hygienic solution necessary for public areas.

Fujitsu’s palm vein device is distinctive because its sensor is only able to recognize the pattern if hemoglobin is actively flowing through the person’s veins. Additionally, research to date by Fujitsu indicates that each individual’s palm vein pattern is unique, even in the case of identical twins. These factors give Fujitsu’s palm vein device an edge over competing biometric identification products

“This is an important announcement for Fujitsu because it establishes Fujitsu as a leader in the development of next generation biometric authentication,” said Joel Hagberg, vice president, marketing and business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America. “The biometric industry will experience dramatic growth in the coming years as organizations implement improvements in IT and infrastructure security. We are very excited to compete in this marketplace to meet growing customer needs.”

Fujitsu’s palm vein authentication technology is based on more than two decades of image recognition experience. The company decided to aggressively pursue this because the biometric security industry is expected to have dramatic adoption growth in the near future.

Applications for Fujitsu’s palm vein technology are vast and span several vertical markets, including security, financial/banking, access control, healthcare and government applications. Several Fujitsu customers in Japan have already adopted the palm vein device for the following appplications: identification purposes in financial institutions; access control for high-security areas; and customer and employee identification.

Fujitsu plans to demonstrate this biometric system at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Minneapolis, MN from July 8-10, 2005. Fujitsu’s palm vein technology will also be on display within the Fujitsu North American TRIOLE2 Integration Center, located in the security lab in Sunnyvale, CA, for demonstration to customers and prospects.

Sun Microsystems Unlocks Real-Time Potential for the Java Platform

Sun Java Real-Time System Enables Superior Integration and Portability

SAN FRANCISCO
JavaOne(SM) Developer Conference
June 28, 2005

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW), founder and lead advocate for Java technology, today released the Sun Java Real-Time System (Java RTS) software, providing developers of real-time software for embedded systems with a scalable and secure way to help ensure system responses during high-priority tasks.

Demonstrated at the 10th annual JavaOne Developer Conference, Java RTS software extends the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) by providing additional capabilities to aid developers in creating high-value, real-time software solutions that interact with the real world. This product, created from the successful Project Mackinac prototype developed in Sun Labs, retains full compatibility with existing Java SE software applications, while enabling new real-time components to be added to these applications for superior integration and portability in the growing real-time space. Java RTS software is based on the first Java Community Process [JCP] specification, JSR-01, which brings real-time capabilities to the Java platform.

“Sun’s work makes the Java programming language a valid choice for real-time systems,” said Jeff Jackson, vice president, Java Applications and Developer Programs, Sun Microsystems. “Real-time developers can now realize the labor- and time-saving benefits of working on the Java programming language, while having the option of shaping the direction of the technology by participating in the ever-growing Java community of 4.5 million innovators.”

“We have been extremely impressed by the real-time performance we have achieved with our OpenFusion RT for Java middleware platform using Java RTS software. The robustness and ease of use of the system, coupled with excellent support from Sun Microsystems, have been key to helping us achieve distributed real-time performance that exceeds the metrics set by our most demanding customers,” said Steve Jennis, senior vice president, Corporate Development, PrismTech.

Java RTS software broadens the reach of the Java SE platform by creating a robust and conformant implementation of the specification. To date, the Java SE platform has been downloaded more than 50 million times, into embedded systems across the spectrum of consumer electronics, military, aerospace, telecommunications, automotive manufacture and industrial automation – a software market estimated to be worth $2.7 billion by 2007, up from $1.5 billion today, according to analyst firm Venture Development Corp.

For mission-critical environments, Java RTS software brings extremely predictable, fast, and reliable program response capabilities to real-world situations, regardless of the number of other applications running. Java RTS software ensures that the most important tasks are always able to run and completely avoids priority inversion problems common to real-time systems.

“Our users have come to know and trust the real-time properties of our communications software. But even our products cannot overcome the lack of real-time behavior in foundational components like a Virtual Machine for the Java platform. This is why we were pleased when Sun’s Java RTS software technology passed our most stringent tests to uncover priority inversions, with complete priority-respecting behavior,” said Bill Beckwith, chief executive officer, Objective Interface Systems, Inc.

Java RTS software is available to developers now through Sun’s Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sales team on a per-seat basis.

Sun CEO Declares The Java Technology Community’s First Decade “Most Successful Community Effort Ever”

Presents the Annual Duke’s Choice Award to Java Innovators

SAN FRANCISCO
JavaOne(SM) Developer Conference
June 28, 2005

Today at Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) 10th Annual JavaOne Conference, Scott McNealy highlighted the success enjoyed by Java during the first 10 years of its life, empowering software engineers to build a ubiquitous computing infrastructure capable of delivering powerful services to consumers, developers and industry.

McNealy invited SeeBeyond’s CEO, Jim Demetriades, on-stage to discuss the announcement earlier that morning that the two companies have signed a definitive agreement for Sun to acquire SeeBeyond for $387 million in cash. Both CEOs detailed the synergies between the two companies’ product lines and sales forces. This acquisition will strengthen Sun’s software portfolio and open new growth and partnering opportunities.

Speaking on the second day of JavaOne 2005, McNealy, Sun’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, also pointed to future opportunities, particularly in education and health, where accelerated delivery of this low-cost, high-value, Java-based infrastructure can unite people with valuable sources of information and ultimately help eliminate society’s digital divide.

Highlighting today’s most promising innovations, McNealy also co-presented the annual Duke’s Choice Awards with Java technology inventor and Sun Fellow James Gosling, “The fact is that two and a half billion Java devices worldwide run Java and there are 4.5 million Java developers in every corner of the planet. Millions upon millions of Web users experience Java each time they go online and this means that the community has done a fantastic job of turning James Gosling’s vision for Java technology into reality. There is an opportunity now, to turn ubiquity of infrastructure into ubiquity of service. The industry has never seen a platform adoption rate like this before, “ McNealy said.

McNealy went on to map out today’s infrastructure: Java runs on 708 million phones, one billion smart cards, 700 million PCs and provides a powerful and scalable platform for 28 compatible application servers. Driving that infrastructure are more the millions of Java developers who are pushing the edge of innovation while protecting compatibility for all.

“Sun has always been fantastic at starting and fostering communities. The Java Community Process (JCP) is a great example. As the JCP steward, we have tried to stay in the background and out of the way of the over 900 contributing organizations. Their efforts and 10 years of results are truly amazing.” McNealy added. “The next community that I envision Sun growing is a free and open, self-paced, Web-based community for students to get access to the best curriculum on the planet. This community’s mission is to empower teachers, students, parents and to advance student achievement by providing access to quality open source content, a critical factor to success in learning. Global Education Learning Community (GELC) puts teachers a click-away from training, curriculum resources, and tools to train tomorrow’s workforce.”

Sun is demonstrating the power of Java technology as a community force by building the Global Education Learning Community (GELC). This education community that was founded last year is growing exponentially with 1,991 developers actively contributing to 291 Java and open source projects. Today the Peoples Republic of China’s Ministry of Education (MOE) and Korea’s Education and Research Information Service (KERIS) officially joined the GELC and are contributing their best resources online for use by all members of the global teaching community. GELC seeks to provide students, teachers, research worldwide with online access to the best in open source educational resources.

Sun is helping empower students further, with the launch of the Student Developer Program. The company is giving away copies of Sun’s Java Studio Enterprise, Sun Java Studio Mobility, Sun Studio 10, Solaris10 Operating System, and training in Solaris 10 worth $180 million. This program provides students with access to a valuable Sun hardware and software grant, as well as hundreds of Sun software products in new and emerging markets like Radio Frequency ID (RFID).

“The vision for a PC on every desktop did not close the digital divide, it only helped us realize a gap existed in the first place,” McNealy said. “We believe that Java-based services, delivered online to any device, will help us efficiently and effectively bring teachers and students even closer to the resources they need. The world is moving toward ubiquitous computing and Java technology as the enabling ‘glue’ between rich educational content and the on-demand communications infrastructure.”

McNealy highlighted the role Java is playing putting doctors in touch with patient information and research, for online diagnosis and greater knowledge.

“Information is the killer application in medicine and Java is helping realize that application by linking-up vital medical systems and services, while meeting the security needs of doctors and data privacy concerns of patients,” McNealy said.

McNealy also presented the third-annual Duke’s Choice Awards for most innovative Java technology applications and devices. Winners received a statuette of the Java mascot “Duke” recognizing their achievement from McNealy and creator of the Java programming language James Gosling. This year’s winners included an integrated patient scheduling system for the City of San Paulo from Atech Foundation, use of Java technology by GE Healthcare products for cardiology and radiology, and Boeing’s use of Java in real time systems to navigate and fly unmanned military aircraft.

Sun Microsystems to Strengthen Its Position in the Business Integration Market With Agreement to Acquire SeeBeyond for $387 Million in Cash

Transaction Would Join Sun’s Java Enterprise System and Solaris Operating System with SeeBeyond Offerings
Combination to Create Ideal Partner for Customers and Systems Integrators Focused on Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)

SAN FRANCISCO
JavaOne(SM) Developer Conference
June 28, 2005

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW) and SeeBeyond Technology Corporation (NASDAQ: SBYN) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Sun to acquire SeeBeyond. The acquisition of SeeBeyond, a leader in enterprise integration, with trailing 12 month revenues of approximately $167 million and 2,000 customers worldwide, will allow Sun to create what it believes will be the industry’s most complete offering for the development, deployment and management of enterprise applications and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).

Under the terms of the agreement approved by both boards of directors, SeeBeyond stockholders will receive $4.25 per share in cash for each SeeBeyond share for an aggregate value of approximately $387 million, including the assumption of employee stock options.

“Building on the exciting news unveiled yesterday at JavaOne, today’s announcement reinforces our vision for the future of the Java platform,” said Scott McNealy, chairman and chief executive officer, Sun Microsystems, Inc. “Sun is well positioned to partner with systems integrators worldwide in serving the global market. Both they and our mutual customers are increasingly focused not only on the world of web services, but the secure integration of those business processes through service oriented architectures (SOA). This acquisition strengthens our software portfolio and opens new growth and partnering opportunities worldwide.”

McNealy continued, “Our recent acquisition activity reinforces our strategy to be a consolidator of innovations in the IT industry and underscores our commitment to heterogeneity. The next wave is about the integration of business systems and today’s acquisition of SeeBeyond signifies an early and forceful move to establish a leadership position in this space. Together, we will be able to deliver what other vendors only have in their vision papers – an ideal platform for business and systems integrators to build the next generation applications of the future.”

“Since last year, we have actively worked with Sun on joint SOA-based architectural and vertical solutions,” said Jim Demetriades, founder and chief executive officer, SeeBeyond. “The results of these efforts are already being seen through work with joint customers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, which is actively leveraging our technologies to drive dynamic cost savings and process improvement.”

“This transaction will combine the leader in Java and web services with a leader in integration, bringing to market what we believe to be the most comprehensive and productive application development platform suite available today,” adds Demetriades.

Sun continues to integrate more services into its software portfolio. The Solaris Operating System, which ships with all Sun software suites, is the foundation of this integrated set of services – called the Java Enterprise System. The Java Enterprise System includes: Sun Java System Application Platform Suite, Sun Java System Communication Suite, Sun Java System Identity Management Suite, Sun Java System Availability Suite and Sun Java System Web Infrastructure Suite.

The products, services and solutions currently offered by Sun and SeeBeyond are complementary with little overlap. SeeBeyond’s Integrated Composite Application Network (ICAN) Suite is a highly-integrated suite , bringing back-office integration, B2B integration, ETL Master Data Management, Business Process Management, Workflow, Business Activity Monitoring, Application Adapters, and a suite of graphical development tools for composite application creation based on web services. With SeeBeyond, Sun will extend the Java Enterprise System platform with a sixth suite, the Sun Java System Integration Suite. When combined with the most advanced operating system on the planet, Solaris 10, this new suite will make the Java Enterprise System an even more attractive environment for businesses and system integrators to build next-generation customer solutions.

The two companies established a go-to-market partnership in October 2004 to integrate these product lines in order to deliver a more powerful environment for customers. The combination of Sun’s Java Enterprise System and SeeBeyond’s ICAN suite will result in a highly integrated and productive environment for the development of SOA-based enterprise applications.

Following completion of the proposed transaction, which is expected to occur in early Fall 2005, SeeBeyond will be integrated with Sun . In the interim, a joint team with representatives of both companies will develop integration plans that build upon the technological, product and cultural synergies as well as the best business and product development practices of both companies.

Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval, SeeBeyond shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

The management teams of both companies will host a financial analyst and investor conference call today at 5:15 am PDT. The call can be accessed at 888-692-0418 (U.S.) or 706-643-7750 (outside U.S.) with conference call ID #7453321. The conference call will also be webcast at http://www.sun.com/investors.

MiTAC Technology Chooses the Fujitsu WiMAX SoC to Design and Manufacture Cost-Efficient WiMAX Customer Premise Equipment

WCA 2005, Washington, D.C.,
June 27, 2005

Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA), a leading provider of robust wireline and wireless solutions that enhance the performance of next-generation communications networks in North America, and MiTAC Technology Corporation (MTC), a leader in the electronics original design manufacturing industry, today announced that MiTAC will use the Fujitsu WiMAX System-on-Chip (SoC) to develop and manufacture MiTAC’s WiMAX Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). Fujitsu has shipped its WiMAX SoCs, the MB87M3400, to MiTAC to incorporate them into MiTAC’s CPEs.

The Fujitsu MB87M3400 uses an OFDM 256 (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) PHY that supports all the available channel bandwidths from 1.75MHz to 20MHz, and can operate in TDD or FDD mode. A programmable frequency selection function generates the sample clock for any desirable bandwidth. When implementing the 64QAM modulation in a 20MHz channel and using all 192 sub-carriers, the SoC’s data rate can potentially go up to 75Mbps. Uplink sub-channelization is also supported.

The Fujitsu WiMAX SoC incorporates sophisticated processing power, including a powerful main RISC engine that implements the 802.16 upper-layer MAC functions, scheduler, drivers, protocol stacks, and user application software. A secondary RISC/DSP functions as a co-processor, which executes the lower-layer MAC functions, offloading processing from the upper-layer MAC and enhancing the total SoC performance. A multi-channel DMA controller handles high-speed transactions among agents on a high-performance bus. (See related Press Releases dated April 21, 2005.)

“Fujitsu is a recognized leader in wireless communication, and this WiMAX SoC is the industry’s most integrated, modular and cost-efficient solution,” said Joseph Huang, general manager of MiTAC USA (L.A). “We will use the Fujitsu WiMAX SoC and customize the WiMAX solution by adding the features required to meet various market needs.”
