Daiwabo Information System Company Enters Contract
as Japanese Distributor for Handlink Technologies (Taiwan)
-- Sales of Plug & Play Internet Gateway ISS-2000 Are Underway --



Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, CEO: Mitsuru Yokoyama, President) signed a contract with Handlink Technologies Inc. (based in Taiwan) enabling it to function as a dealer of that company's products in Japan.

ISS-2000 is an Internet gateway that allows an Internet connection to be established in a plug-and-play manner regardless of the IP settings of the client PC, i.e., without selecting from among such IP configurations as private IP address, global IP address, fixed IP address, and DHCP client.
By installing ISS-2000, it becomes possible to access the internet without changing the IP address of one's client computer when using so-called "Hot Spot" services, which are expected to gain popularity in such places as hotels, airports, college campuses, and cafes.

Daiwabo Information System will aggressively promote the implementation of ISS-2000 to Hot Spot service providers, hotels, cafes, etc., by utilizing the combined strength of the DIS group, which engages in fields ranging from SI solutions to support, maintenance, physical distribution, retail, and Internet technologies. Additionally, with respect to the aforementioned targeted market, we will strive to advance partnerships with system integrators and establish a sales promotion infrastructure that proposes comprehensive solutions including various services.

We will also soon begin sales of Handlink Technologies' WSG Series, which enables wireless connections.

<Main Functions of ISS-2000>
(1) Plug and play function
Supports all IP network configurations, thus enabling simple Internet access from anywhere without troublesome setting changes.
(2) Remote user verification function
ISS-2000 supports RADIUS clients. When there is an external RADIUS server, the ISS-2000 can be connected to the RADIUS server and perform verification processing from there.
(3) Independent user verification function
The ISS-2000 is equipped with a user verification function and can manage user login names and passwords.
(4) Remote setting function
The setting values of the ISS-2000 can be monitored and changed remotely via a web browser.

<Sales Goals>
To sell 1000 units within one year after sales begin.
