Company Update: Cylink Corporation is the world's largest provider of information security products and enterprise network security services. The company is also a leader in advanced spread spectrum radio technologies and products. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif., Cylink serves Fortune 500 companies, multinational financial institutions, the United States government, and many international government agencies.

Through its innovative Enterprise Security Architecture (ESA), an integrated security software stack, Cylink has developed three world-class information security product lines designed to meet the security needs of today's internetworking, local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) environments.

Cylink's NetGate product line uses state-of-the-art certificate-based technology to provide access, authentication, privacy and information integrity for secure remote network access management applications.

The same ESA stack is the foundation for a family of security products that encrypt the individual information packets that flow through today's local area networks.

Cylink's CIDEC high-speed, medium speed and low speed link encryption products -- the products upon which the company has built its global reputation -- provide point-to-point encryption essential for confidential and sensitive information that moves over wide area network (WAN) applications.

Cylink has also been acknowledged as one of the global leaders in wireless communications. The company's AirLink(TM) T1 and E1 radios have pioneered easy network management into high speed wireless communications. The AirLink(TM) Bridge has set industry standards for rate, robustness and range. The AirLink(TM) family of low speed radios has brought wireless communications ease to many niche applications where wires simply can't go.

The recent growth of our two core businesses -- information security and wireless communications -- has catapulted Cylink into the role as a global leader in the world of enterprise-wide information systems. Since 1984, Cylink has focused on fine-tuning its technology. Today, the company is being recognized by the market as an innovator, a visionary, and as a supplier of products backed by proven technologies capable of handling the enterprise information system challenges of the 21st century.
