WiNc 2.0 provides support for a broader set of wireless network cards and has been redesigned for greater ease of use. "From the outset, we designed WiNc to be the best tool for finding and connecting to 802.11-based networks using a Windows-based desktop PC, notebook computer or Tablet PC," said Nicholas Miller, president and CEO of Cirond Corporation. "Now users can not only find and connect to those networks, but they can manage their connections in a more efficient way, enjoy improved performance, find support for a wider range of wireless network adapters and more quickly get working with their wireless network of choice. In addition, the look of the new WiNc 2.0 wireless connectivity tool can be customized using software "skins". Also, users will be able to save lists of available networks and will find support for Windows domain logon. The enhanced design of the product also makes it simple to instantly check Internet availability on a given wireless network - and to quickly toggle between settings using new Toolbar buttons. In addition, WiNc 2.0 users will be able to customize their view of networks and adapters so that they see as little or as much information as they want. Finally, WiNc 2.0 includes integrated Ping/Trace routing, providing a utility for connectivity diagnosis. WiNc 2.0 will be available from Cirond's value added resellers and partners and also from the company's Web site at HTTP://WWW.CIROND.COM for a price of $19.95 starting on January 30, 2004. It will be a key element of a number of partnered products, as well as being a vital component of WiNc Manager 2.0 - Cirond's next-generation wireless network management and security solution:. A free, 30- day trial version of the product will also be available from the Cirond Web site. ...../2 CIROND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES WINC 2.0 PAGE 2 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 FOR CIROND CORPORATION Forward looking statements as set forth in this press release are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.
