Scalable MIPS32(R)-Optimized Protocol Stack to Speed Mobile
                  Development for MIPS Licensees

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 10, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobile World
Congress -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider
of industry-standard processor architectures and cores, and SySDSoft
Inc., a leading supplier of Mobile WiMAX and LTE embedded software
solutions for 4G, today announced they are teaming to enable LTE on the
MIPS(R) architecture. As a new member of the MIPS Alliance Program,
SySDSoft is working closely with MIPS Technologies to provide an
optimized MIPS32(R) LTE protocol stack that MIPS licensees can leverage
across the entire range of MIPS processor cores. SySDSoft will
initially port its proven stack to a MIPS32 24K(R) processor core, and
will share initial results of the collaboration at the upcoming Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona.

MIPS Technologies already has multiple licensees in the LTE and WiMAX
area, with a number of WiMAX chipsets and upcoming LTE handset and
basestation designs in the market. The work between MIPS Technologies
and SySDSoft complements the work that many MIPS licensees are already
doing in these areas by providing fully tested, proven MAC and PHY
software designs to help speed time to market. There will be several
MIPS-Based(TM) WiMAX and LTE demonstrations during Mobile World
Congress.

"SySDSoft is widely recognized for the quality of its software
solutions, so it makes sense for us to partner with them as we make
deeper inroads into the mobile market," said Art Swift, vice president
of marketing, MIPS Technologies. "With the global transition to 4G, the
high bandwidth standards are very similar to wireless technologies
where MIPS Technologies has a strong presence. We are excited to
leverage this trend and enable our customers to get to market quickly
with proven mobile solutions."

"We are pleased to work with MIPS Technologies to make 4G telephony a
reality for MIPS licensees," said Khaled Ismail, CEO, SySDSoft. "With
our mobile WiMAX and LTE stacks, SySDSoft is uniquely positioned among
4G stack offerings. Our stacks provide processing efficiency, support
of very high data rates, and offer many differentiating features for
baseband chipset makers. Leveraging our technology, we are confident
that benchmarks will show the benefits of the MIPS architecture in
terms of data compression, performance and channel utilization for 4G."
