BUSTRONIC HIRES MAHAMUD KHANDOKAR FOR SIGNAL INTEGRITY ENGINEERING

FREMONT, California, Mar. 24, 2004 - Bustronic Corporation, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of high performance backplanes, continues to expand its Simulation/Signal Integrity Laboratory in hiring Mahamud Khandokar.

Khandokar is an experienced engineer in the use of simulation/modeling tools and state-of-the-art time and frequency domain measurement instruments. Ms. Khandokar will have the responsibility of continuing development of Bustronic's signal integrity laboratory and expanding a program of backplane characterization and model creation. She has experience in characterizing printed circuit boards and backplane interconnects of 1 - 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second). Ms. Khandokar will also apply her electrical engineering skills in helping to develop Bustronic's advanced technologies.

"Mahamud's expertise in differential and mixed mode S-parameter modeling, jitter and time-domain crosstalk measurement, and via structures are an excellent fit for Bustronic's Simulation/Signal Integrity Lab" said Fred Hirsch, General Manager of Bustronic.

Ms. Khandokar graduated in 1997 from the University of Dhaka, in Bangladesh with a degree in applied physics and electrical engineering. She comes to Bustronic from the signal integrity laboratory of Sanmina and is a graduate of San Francisco State University where she received her degree in electrical engineering.
