Erlang Technology, Inc. is a premier engineering solutions provider for the communications and computer industries. Our products include a wide variety of Advanced TCA hardware and software, two generations of switch fabric chips, content search engine, general purpose network management platform, and several board level products. Erlang provides professional services including chip, FPGA, board and system prototyping and software development.

The company was founded by Dr. Paul Min, along with core members of the renowned Research Group in Telecommunications (RGIT), at Washington University, in St. Louis. Between, 1993 and 2000, Dr. Min led core members of RGIT to design and implement several generations of prototype switch fabric chipsets. Today, the company provides outstanding switch solutions in the form of ASSPs and ASICs. Erlang has compiled several design wins, and is serving notable customers and strategic partners around the world.

The Erlang Network Element Technology (ENET™) chipsets, Erlang's switch fabric products, include three chipsets, ENET Se, ENET Xe and ENET Te, as well as system accelerators, in the form of development kits. These highly functional, highly scalable chipsets were created to target next generation Multi Services Switch Routers that support data, voice, and video traffic. Our chipsets are developed in partnerships with multiple third party vendors and manufacturers of network processors to optimize system performance and accelerate time-to-market for system developers. The costs of Erlang's solutions scale linearly as system capacity grows, ensuring that system designers can build on the enormous investment as they evolve from generation to generation.

In addition, Erlang currently offers several board products. PSNB™ is a PCI form factor board that contains Intel IXP2400™ Network Processor along with Erlang's PS2K™ content search engine chip. PSNB™ is suited for general purpose Layers 2-7 processing at multi gigabit wire speeds. PSB™ is a PCI form factor board that contains Erlang's PS2K™ content search engine chip. PSB™ is suited for pattern matching tasks at multi gigabit wire speeds. PNB™ is a PCI form factor board that contains Intel INP2400™ Network Processor. PNB™ is suited for protocol processing at multi gigabit wire speeds.

Erlang's PS2K™ content search engine is in an FPGA design that can process pattern matching tasks with over 4,000 signatures in multi gigabit wire speeds. Currently PS2K™ is implemented in several customer designs providing intrusion detection and prevention, Denial of Service attack prevention, and port scanning prevention.

Erlang offers a general purpose network management platform, SOCRATES™. SOCRATES™ can be programmed to perform monitoring, filtering, and controlling network packets. SOCRATES ™ generates active probing packets that can actively and proactively manage the networks at Layers 2-7. SOCRATES™ is suited for managing networks for high performance, integrity, security, and user experiences.
