Columbitech Introduces Comprehensive Wireless Security Platform for Retail Customers; Includes Integrated, Field-Tested Offerings for All Devices and Servers in a Retailer's Infrastructure.

CHICAGO -- Wireless security solutions provider Columbitech announced today a comprehensive platform of wireless security offerings for retailers. These field-tested solutions provide retailers with an end-to-end platform to integrate secure communications and session persistence for all data from any device and server environment. Retailers receive full coverage to secure data on all wireless retail devices, scanners, printers, RFID readers and wireless servers via Columbitech's Wireless Security Platform. This platform is the defacto standard in retail adopted by many device manufacturers and server vendors to provide complete secure communications wirelessly to retail customers. Columbitech's installed customer base includes major U.S. retailers.

Columbitech's comprehensive platform includes Columbitech Wireless VPN (CWPN), Columbitech Application SDK to create VPN clients for any retail wireless device like wireless printers, wireless scales and POS devices, and Columbitech Embedded SDK to integrate server capabilities for any server or wireless switch across the retail environment. This means the Columbitech platform offers a true end-to-end solution to secure back-end systems and a completely secure environment for transmitting data.

Along with these applications, Columbitech has a Certification Program for handheld devices that has certified numerous products, which have completed quality assurance, interoperability and validity testing to adapt VPN security via Columbitech's industry requirements. Columbitech works with some of the largest retail chains in the world. The company has deployed more than 11,000 servers, most of them within retail.

"Zebra was the first thermal printer company to embrace Columbitech's VPN security and adapt it to wireless on-demand printing," said Robert Danahy, Director of Mobile and Wireless Technology at Zebra Technologies. "Our Global 2000 and market-leading customers appreciate how easy it will be for them to secure all the data on their many types of wireless devices, including Zebra printers, with Columbitech's portfolio of advanced security solutions."

"Increasingly, retailers are requiring higher levels of security for their mobile applications needs, including mobile data capture computers. This requires the additional critical support of VPN security," said Dave Rowlands, Vice President Services of PSC Inc. "Columbitech provides this important link for securing the data via any wireless connection or network environment and makes it virtually seamless for retailers to easily reap the benefits of higher security with negligible effects on performance."

In addition to providing all the components for a secure infrastructure to access data, Columbitech adheres to the most advanced set of industry protocols and standards. Retailers benefit from Columbitech's Wireless Security Platform, which is compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard and virtually any network environment from GSM, GPRS, WIMAX, and 3G to WLAN and Wi-Fi.

"Our long-term experience in wireless security combined with working closely with top U.S. retailers has helped us expand our offering to secure any component in the retailer's infrastructure without sacrificing performance or connectivity," said Asa Holmstrom, president of Columbitech. "We make it very easy for retailers worried about different aspects of security to take one step to meet all security requirements, and obtain a wireless security solution that is industry-leading."

Columbitech is a speaker and sponsor at Retail Data Security Forum in Chicago. Columbitech's Vice President of Technology Tobias Englund will be speaking on a Technologists Panel on Wednesday, November 2, 2005 at 4:15 p.m.
