IP3 Partners with Asia-Pac Systems Integrator to Deliver Broadband Network Access to Emerging Asian Markets; Tomen Cyber-business Solutions, Inc. Will Be Master Distributor for IP3's NetAccess in Japan and Southeast Asia.

SAN DIEGO -- IP3 Networks, a leading provider of access-control solutions for broadband networks, today announced a distribution agreement with broadband system integrator Tomen Cyber-business Solutions, Inc. (TCB), based in Tokyo, Japan. The partnership calls for TCB to offer IP3's NetAccess technology platform as a solution for enterprise-wide broadband wireless deployments, initially targeting public venues such as hotels, resorts, and conference centers.

As a primary distributor of IP3's solutions in Japan, TCB is targeting major hotel chains that will benefit from NetAccess' reliability, performance and ease-of-use. TCB has already helped a number of premium hotels such as Odakyu Century Southern Tower, Century Hyatt Tokyo, Nikko Hotel Tokyo, Conrad Hotel, Imperial Hotel Oosaka and Daiichi Hotel Tokyo improve their Internet service offering's functionality by deploying IP3 NetAccess platforms.

"In Japan, prevalence of broadband networking is more than 40 percent, which is one of the highest rates among countries in the world, and TCB is a leading company for constructing super high-speed infrastructure. IP3 Networks' innovative access gateway products, combined with our know-how will accelerate further progress in Japan's broadband sophisticated utilization," said Soichi Ono, director of the board in charge of access solutions, Tomen Cyber-business Solutions, Inc.

"We believe that IP3 products will introduce next generation Internet usage acquired through the U.S. accomplishments into Japanese market. And TCB's role is to facilitate this evolution," Ono added.

IP3 Networks provides large enterprises, carriers, and venue operators with the most flexible on-demand broadband access solutions in the industry. Through its unique "Multi-Layer Portal" technology, NetAccess gateways enable users to self-provision bandwidth, security level, billing type, and conditions of usage to fit their needs. Due to the system's elegantly simple log-in and parameter-control user interfaces, even first-time users can achieve access and customized service levels without having to change any settings on their computers.

"The Asia-Pac region is a significant market for us, and success there is fundamental to our global marketing strategy. Partnering with TCB allows us to leverage their expansive distribution and technical service expertise to establish a solid position as the preferred broadband network access and management solution in Japan and Southeast Asia," said Kitty Desjardins, IP3 Networks sales director and strategic partner manager for the Asia Pacific Region.

Due to increased business globalization, the rapid build-out of a pervasive Internet infrastructure, and evolution of wireless LAN technologies, mobile Internet access is experiencing geometric growth in Japan. In order to satisfy this requirement, IP3 and TCB offer an integrated system featuring highly reliable equipment, flexible solutions and timely provisioning.

Tomen Cyber-business Solutions, Inc. is recognized as a leading Internet access services provider for multi-dwelling units and SOHOs. Leveraging IP3's leading position in the international hospitality market, TCB will target the Japanese hospitality industry with the NetAccess solution.

"We are talking with a number of hotels, many of which are currently considering the implementation of Internet access equipment, and they are very receptive to IP3's Multi-Layer Portal Technology which reduces the overall system cost by creating multiple, secure logical networks over a single physical infrastructure instead of renovating the wired network," said Ono.

TCB plans to expand to additional vertical markets including universities, enterprises, and carriers.
