Nomadix Provides Wi-Fi Hotspot 
Access to CeBIT Press and Attendees

    WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. & HANOVER, Germany,  March 11, 2002 - Nomadix announced today that it will provide wireless "hotspot" access at the largest information technology trade show, CeBIT, from March 13-20.

    CeBIT press and convention attendees with Wi-Fi wireless cards will be able to enjoy secure, high-speed Internet access at four Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA)-sponsored hotspots while at the show.

    Nomadix will be provisioning the wireless networks using Wi-Fi compliant access points and its Universal Subscriber Gateway(TM) (USG) product. Free high-speed Internet access will be available in the "CeBIT News" room, CeBIT Pressroom (both in the Conference Center), the Wi-Fi Pavilion in Hall 13, Stand D43 and the Wireless Exchangeworld pavilion in Hall 3, Stand C57.

    "Wi-Fi technology is the standard for broadband wireless data services and these CeBIT hotspots represent a state-of-art demonstration of roaming data services that are available in thousands of locations in every major market worldwide," said Greg Hayes, VP of Marketing and Market Development at Nomadix.

    "When you open up your network to roaming, security issues are created; Nomadix has created a solution that enhances the security of the wireless connection and enables data roaming that is as easy to use as a mobile phone," continued Hayes.

    The Nomadix USG(TM) product is a dedicated networking access control gateway that delivers the company's NSE software that enhances mobility in Wi-Fi networks. Current wireless local area network products are adequate for closed and non-mobile network environments where all users are known in advance and where the network administrator must individually configure and provision users' computers. To enable open, mobile network access, a new solution is needed to automatically configure every user for the network, authenticate those users for access privileges, and monitor their network usage.

    Using the Nomadix NSE software, the network manager can connect and provision every user without requiring problematic client software, secure the user's session and enforce user policies, such as bandwidth utilization or server access.

    Where to find Nomadix Products at CeBIT
    In addition to the four WECA hotspots, Nomadix' products will be shown by the following Nomadix partners: Artem -- Hall 16, Stand C57; Funk Software -- Hall 15, Stand C41; MMS -- Hall 2, Stand A09; Proxim -- Hall 16, Stand B22 and Hall 7, Stand C06; Vasco Data Security -- Hall 17, Stand G17; Zyxel -- Hall 16, Stand B01.
