TORRANCE, CA - March 15, 1998 — TRENDnet, is reintroducing two products for small to mid-sized business solutions. The first product is its Fast Ethernet starter kit for small business which contains two PCIW cards, a 100Mbps five-port Fast Ethernet hub and two 15 foot, category 5 cables. The second product is a 56K/10Mbps Ethernet PCMCIA combo card. Both have been aggressively priced for the small to mid-size business market.

The Fast Ethernet Starter Kit (TE100-SK1) will allow a business owner to set up a client/ server situation or, with the purchase of a TRENDnet^® print server, connect two workstations with a printer. With the Ethernet Starter Kit, a company could grow to three workstations, a server, and a print server without purchasing any additional hubs. The suggested retail price is $229.00, which is considered reasonable and highly competitive for this product category.

"We are pricing this kit for the small company that is looking to start a network or the mid-size company that is considering another Fast Ethernet hub," says Pei Huang, President of TRENDnet "This is an excellent opportunity for TRENDnet to become a leader in the small to mid-size network market, which we believe is full of untapped potential."

TRENDnets^® PCMCIA 56K modem and Ethernet combo card (TEM-560T) is 10Base-T compliant with 56K data and 14.4 fax transmission throughput. RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors are on the same cord for concurrent use and data/fax software is provided with the product. The TEM-560T also supports Group 3 fax send-and-receive functions and is easy to set up and use due to its plug and play features. The TEM-560T is aggressively priced with a suggested retail price of $299.00.
