Multiple Computers

Cayman Systems along with WinDBreak Cable and InterTECH Corporation of Gering, Nebraska, today announced that Cayman's 2E500 and 2E500H dual-Ethernet Internet Access Device with built-in 8-port hub will serve as the business customer premise device router for InterTECH's business/commercial Internet Service. Small and medium sized business customers will use the Zero-Configuration Cayman 2E500H to leverage a single high-bandwidth data over cable connection to WinDBreak Cable's broadband network into a Local Area Network. InterTECH Corporation, will offer the Cayman products to its cable television operations customers, launching high-speed data delivered over their cable systems, thus enabling them to provide better service to their business customers. Every computer within the LAN will connect to the Internet at burstable speeds, while also enjoying access to WinDBreak Cable's and InterTECH's commercial suite of value-added online services for its small and medium sized business customers.

"The Cayman 2E500H router is particularly well suited for cable companies who provide data-over-cable services to small and medium sized businesses," said Heidi Clark, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cayman Systems. "This agreement facilitates WinDBreak's and InterTECH Corporation's expansion of its Internet services into the business market. InterTECH Corporation's inclusion of the 2E500H as a key component of its satellite delivered commercial Internet Service furnishes customers with an entirely plug and play routing and networking tool that requires minimal attention from a cable company service technician," continued Clark.

WinDBreak Cable introduced its satellite delivered commercial Internet services to business customers in May 1996. Leveraging a combination of an upgraded coax cable infrastructure, high-speed satellite delivered backbone access and an intelligent server configuration featuring the Cayman 2E500H, WinDBreak Cable connects businesses and schools to the Internet at burstable speeds up to 4 Mbs. Included in WinDBreak Cable's and InterTECH's IDS service is access to the Internet, a value-added suite of services designed for its small and medium sized business cable modem customers. The Internet provides businesses with instant access to the strongest online companies in the business space, as well as news, local weather, dining, and other valuable information.

"Including the Cayman 2E500 and the 2E500H in WinDBreak Cable's and InterTECH Corporation's IDS system has enabled us to extend the speed and services that were formerly available only to the largest enterprises to our small and medium sized business customers. We have discovered in the 2E500H, a device that performs reliably, is simple to install, and is powerful yet easy to use," said Bill Bauer, CEO and President of InterTECH Corporation. "Utilizing an enhanced broadband network infrastructure augmented by our coaxial capabilities and innovative Internet via satellite capabilities, even small community businesses can look like a Fortune 100 companies to the world," added Bill Bauer, CEO and President of InterTECH Corporation.

The integration of plug & play, Cayman Systems Swift-IP capabilities and two Ethernet ports in one package create a unique and powerful tool for service providers that cater to small and medium sized businesses. One Ethernet port supports PCs on the LAN, the other Ethernet port plugs directly into InterTECH's broadband network.

The Cayman 2E500 uses version 4.4 of Cayman Systems network operating software with Swift-IP. Swift-IP now affords plug & play setup and configuration to small offices using Cayman Systems HDSL1000, HDSL1001, SDSL1400, ADSL2000, LR700-H and 2E series of routers. Swift-IP integrates Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to allow all the users in an office to connect to the Internet using a single IP address. This reduces costs for the small office, and makes maintenance easier for the service provider.
