Micron–s Industry-Leading RLDRAM(R) 3 Memory Continues to Be Integrated into
Next-Generation ProductsBOISE, Idaho, June 28, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To meet the rising global
demand for information from across the Internet, Micron Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MU), today announced that Alcatel-Lucent has chosen Micron–s
third-generation reduced latency DRAM (RLDRAM 3 memory) to drive
Alcatel-Lucent–s next generation of network offerings. A leader in fixed,
mobile and converged broadband networking solutions, Alcatel-Lucent plans to
rely on Micron–s RLDRAM 3 memory to support the industry–s first 400-gigabit
(Gb) capable chipset.

Micron–s third generation of RLDRAM memory was developed to enable a faster,
more efficient transfer of data over the network by doubling performance to
76.8 Gb/s and cutting latency to below 10 nanoseconds. Both improvements help
networking segment customers meet the broadband infrastructure–s rapidly
evolving demands.

–Service providers are starting to combine residential, business and mobile
services onto a single IP network,– said Ken Kutzler, Vice President of
Hardware Development for Alcatel-Lucent–s IP Division. –Micron–s
state-of-the-art memory enables leading IP equipment suppliers like
Alcatel-Lucent to help service providers meet the planet–s voracious appetite
for data.–

Micron and Alcatel-Lucent have collaborated on many fronts for more than a
decade. The integration of RLDRAM memory–from Micron–s definition phase to
early production–into these latest Alcatel-Lucent products has been a three
year journey. Micron is expected to begin production of RLDRAM 3 memory during
the second half of 2011. Information on ordering RLDRAM 3 product samples can
be found on Micron–s Web site.
