Ctek and Kyocera Wireless Team to Deliver the Ctek Series 4300 SkyRouter to Securely Extend Enterprise IP Networks.

SAN DIEGO & SAN PEDRO, Calif. -- First Module-Based Router with IP Security and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Along with Built-In Over-the-Air Network Tools for Remote Management

Kyocera Wireless Corp., a leading global manufacturer of CDMA wireless handsets and devices, and Ctek, a leading manufacturer of specialized communications solutions for industrial and commercial applications, today announced the Ctek Series 4300 SkyRouter, a new cellular data router that integrates the award-winning Kyocera 200 Module for real-time CDMA wireless communications. The Series 4300 SkyRouter is the first module-based router to provide built-in IP security (IPSec) and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) for sensitive enterprise applications and was designed with over-the-air network management tools to decrease total cost of operations and network downtime. The solution is approved for use with the largest CDMA carriers in North America as well as multiple regional carriers across the United States.

"Enabled by the Kyocera 200 Module, Ctek's Series 4300 offers wireless IP network capabilities and real-time data communications from virtually anywhere at anytime," said Dean Fledderjohn, general manager of the M2M division at Kyocera Wireless Corp. "Ctek's 4300 provides iron-clad security on wireless networks and is ideal for applications such as mobile ATMs, point-of-sale terminals, lottery ticket vending machines and many more. Now more than ever, wireless machine-to-machine communication technology offers enterprises a way to keep a competitive edge in today's fast-paced business environment."

The Ctek Series 4300 SkyRouter provides cost-effective data communication at a fraction of the cost of wired networks and can be installed virtually anywhere -- from supermarkets and banks to airports, remote water tanks and oil derricks. In addition to being the first module-based wireless router available with IPSec and L2TP, a key component of the product's value proposition is a suite of "TCO Plus" over-the-air network management tools. These critical features are designed to reduce on-going operational costs and increase efficiency via remote Web-based administration, online firmware updating, online network logging and monitoring, and SMS control and management commands. With the Series 4300 in place, IT managers can immediately respond when wireless carriers make changes or upgrades to their networks by remotely reconfiguring system end-points, rather than sending a service person to manually reconfigure each terminal.

"With the Kyocera 200 module onboard and L2TP and IPSec in place, the financial transaction marketplace finally has a secure cellular router for wireless IP networks that is easy to deploy, cost effective and proven in the marketplace," said Bill Buchan, president of Ctek, Inc. "Pent-up demand for secure wireless mobile networks is helping drive adoption of the SkyRouter 4300 and expand the Ctek footprint in the financial and banking industries."

The Series 4300 is the latest in a family of SkyRouter products that share a common platform and have been successfully deployed since 2004 in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand, among other countries. An always-on 1xRTT CDMA connection is provided via both serial and Ethernet connections. The Series 4300 will be available for demonstration at Wireless IT during show hours in the M2M Pavilion, booth number 146.
