TORRANCE, CA - March 15, 1998 — As a global competitor in the network hardware market for the last eight years, TRENDnet, now aggressively pursues the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet market with a strategic sales and marketing program and a new product line.

The LAN Cruiser line of network hardware is designed to work in mixed 10/100Mbps environments, is packed with features, and is very affordable. Each hub features plug and play installation with auto-port configuration, scalable and stackable expansion capabilities, and built-in slots for modular switch options. Each hub also includes an LED array for port status and bandwidth utilization and is backed by a lifetime warranty and dedicated customer support.

The TE100-D16S (to ship April 15) is a dual speed desktop stackable hub with 16 ports that auto-sense between 10Mbps and 100Mbps and provide a new level of flexibility and easy migration between bandwidths. The TE100-DS24 (to ship May 15) is also a dual speed stackable hub but with 24 auto-sensing ports for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps. TRENDnets^® TE100-DM24 (to ship June 15) is an N-way master hub that can control up to four other hubs in a stack with SNMP control software available on request.

"TRENDnet is a leader in low-cost, high-quality network hardware," says Pei Huang, President of TRENDnet. "This is an excellent opportunity for TRENDnet to take the lead in the mid-priced hub market."

The suggested retail prices for the LAN Cruiser line are: TE100-D16S, $799.00.
