Hannover, March 13, 2006 - Silentium Ltd. (www.silentium.com) and Acousti Products Ltd. (www.acoustiproducts.com) announce a partnership bringing together breakthrough noise control technologies that changes the way the future sounds.

A Much Quieter Future
Increasing cooling requirements have resulted in a steady rise year-on-year in noise pollution emitted by a wide range of hardware from Small Form Factor PCs to Rackmounted Server Equipment. The level of noise tolerated by people in their homes and workplaces is falling, and recent European Legislation reflects this trend.

Until now it has been costly and impractical to dampen noise, but Silentium and Acousti Products bring a unique combination of Passive and Active Noise Control (ANC) technologies that effectively tackle the full audible spectrum of noise emitted by hardware.

An "active assisted" sound-proofed rackmounted cabinet is currently demonstrated at CeBIT at Hall 13 Stand A34. This exhibit demonstrates a staggering spatial noise reduction of 16dBA in a high airflow enclosure containing a blade server chassis as a noise source.

The technological achievements of Silentium and Acousti Products have been recognized by early adopters including Intel, Dell, General Motors, Delphi, and Venmar.

Partnership
"The strategic partnership with Acousti Products is an excellent opportunity for Silentium to broaden it's product offerings and solutions to new markets", said Yossi Barath, CEO of Silentium. "The combination of passive and active noise control offers unprecedented possibilities for the future. Noise from powerful cooling systems can now be effectively managed – manufacturers no longer have to choose between an inadequate cooling solution or a noise problem!" said Jeremy Goodman, Technical Director of Acousti Products. Both companies are committed to taking this emerging technology to the next level.

Silentium, based in Israel, has developed a revolutionary, embedded "Silence in a Chip" solution for manufacturers looking for quieter products. Silentium incorporate proprietary ANC technology (or "anti-noise"), which is in essence "making silence using noise".

Acousti Products, based in the UK, bring to this innovative partnership specialist acoustic materials formulated for electronic environments and expertise in passive noise control for hardware applications.
