ACTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2004

Highly Accomplished Sales Exec Joins Industry's First Multi-Channel Wi-Fi Processor Vendor to Drive New Era of WLAN Reliability and Multi-Service Networking.

Engim, Inc., developers of next generation silicon technology that redefines the performance and management of wireless LAN infrastructure, today announced that David Gagne has joined the company as Vice President of Sales. A distinctly respected sales executive in the network processor and networking infrastructure industries, Gagne was appointed by Engim CEO Nick Finamore to guide Engim's ongoing vendor integration of its multi-channel WLAN processors, and drive the market entry and adoption of new Engim-based multi-service Wi-Fi infrastructure that lets the enterprise simultaneously and economically support voice, data, video and network administration services.

Gagne joins Engim as the company enters a potentially aggressive growth phase, driven by growing industry recognition of the short-comings and performance fluctuations of single-channel Wireless LANs, which render them poorly suited to strategic enterprise applications and performance-sensitive applications such as voice and video. Gagne notes: "The recently announced Tolly Group analysis underscores the enterprise market's need for the performance consistency, dramatically higher throughput, and multi-service support that Engim enables. I'm delighted to join the industry's best Wi-Fi processor developer at such an exciting time, and be working with top flight vendors to bring to market a new industrial class of Wi-Fi solutions that end corporate WLAN service constraints, performance drops and user limitations."

He brings 23 years of sales management experience in semiconductors and electronic components to Engim, and most recently served as VP of Sales of T-Networks. His previous positions include VP of Sales at Tioga Technologies and Director of Sales at both Actel and Sharp. Gagne received his BS in General Science (majoring in Optical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science and Mathematics) from the University of Rochester.

Engim CEO Nick Finamore concluded: "Dave is known as one of the industry's top sales talents, and is an outstanding addition to the leadership team. Together, we're establishing Engim as the foundation for a new generation of Wi-Fi multi-service networking that helps drive the mass enterprise migration to wireless networking."
