SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2004

Cirond Corporation (OTCBB:CROO) today announced the immediate availability of its new AirPatrol Sensor for 802.11 a/b/g wireless networks. Designed to work primarily in conjunction with Cirond's flagship Winc Manager and AirPatrol Enterprise applications, the $500 sensor will help network administrators detect the existence of rogue wireless access points and rogue Ad-hoc wireless networks.

When several Cirond AirPatrol Sensors are used in combination with either Winc Manager or AirPatrol Enterprise, the solution will also pinpoint the location of any wireless access point or wireless user within range of the sensors -- and display it on an on-screen map derived from a company's existing floor plan or CAD drawings.

"Our new sensor provides the perfect complement to our Winc Manager and AirPatrol Enterprise solutions, so that network administrators can quickly, confidently and economically secure their wired networks against the threat of unauthorized wireless networks -- and more easily manage wireless networks when an organization chooses to deploy them," said Cirond CEO Nicholas Miller.

The Cirond AirPatrol Sensor for 802.11 a/b/g wireless networks supports the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g, 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3af standards and includes on-board Power over Ethernet (PoE). The company recommends ordering several sensors in conjunction with Cirond Winc Manager (for companies that already have wireless networks and wish to manage and secure those wireless networks) or in combination with AirPatrol Enterprise (which is designed primarily for corporations that do not currently have a wireless network and wish to secure their organization against the security threat posed by the unauthorized installation and use of wireless network equipment).

Cirond is demonstrating the new sensor at Booth 3041 during the Networld Interop exhibition in Las Vegas this week.
