Visit Altera in Exhibition Booth 461

San Jose, Calif., October 19, 2009—Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced it will demonstrate at MILCOM 2009 how its latest programmable logic technologies provide a reliable solution to the military's most mission-critical challenges including anti-tampering, design security, and information assurance. Altera's participation at MILCOM 2009 includes in-booth demonstrations and conference paper presentations. Show attendees will see how Altera helps designers lower risk, achieve faster time to market, and increase productivity for high-bandwidth 10G/40G/100G network core applications with its latest Stratix^® IV FPGAs; all while meeting their size, weight, and power (SWaP) challenges at the edge of the network with its Cyclone^® III and Cyclone III LS FPGAs.

Altera's in-booth demonstrations showcasing its FPGA technologies include:

• Cyclone III and Cyclone III LS FPGAs—the industry's lowest static power FPGAs
• The latest military radio systems using Altera solutions
• Arxan Defense System's EnforcIT-H Cryptographic Suite, demonstrating Suite B real-time encryption/decryption of data in a single Cyclone III LS FPGA
• Altera's multithreaded RISC processor optimized for packet processing and deep packet inspection for high-bandwidth applications
• PrismTech's Integrated Circuit ORB (ICO) running on an Altera^® FPGA—an enabling technology for software-defined radio (SDR)and ubiquitous connectivity at the edge of the network
• An embedded multimedia system solution on a single FPGA
