OSLO, May 15 (Reuters) -
** Oslo-listed network computing firm Napatech NAPAT.OL
said on Tuesday it was selected by a European government agency
to boost its cyber security
** "We are very happy about the contract, which we hope will
lead to further business opportunities," Chief Executive Officer
Henrik Brill Jensen told Reuters
** The company would not disclose the value of the contract
** Napatech has already received the first purchase order
from this customer and is expecting further orders from the same
customer going forward
** "Napatech's reconfigurable computing solution met the
agency's needs by providing FPGA-based SmartNIC software and
hardware in a low-cost, standard server, platform," the company
said in a press release
** "This is of course a very positive step, but we have been
anticipating this deal, so it will not change the outlook for
the company," the CEO said, while adding that the contract
opened up possibilities for similar deals with other governments
