Announcing A Revolutionary
Mobile Tactical Edge Network Product

The Research and Development (R&D) division of PROSOFT has debuted their long anticipated line of fully integrated, multi-carrier Mobile Tactical Edge Network products at the 2006 Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (2006 CWID). These lightweight, rugged products (being released under the pTerex Mobile Access-pTerex^ma-brand name) are designed to seamlessly and transparently manage the global roaming of mobile networks among and between virtually any current or future network-wired, cellular, WiFi, radio and satellite.

Beginning with the summer 2006 release of the pTerex MTEN 2500, pTerex^ma customers can finally implement tactical solutions that require secure, transparent, fluid and seamless worldwide roaming of whole subnets of network clients. pTerex^ma products enable routers and their subnets to be mobile while continuing to maintain connectivity to their home network through any available transport carrier with no user intervention or control. This allows, for example, a plane to fly around the world while the onboard en route Command Team stays connected to their home network (as well as to other dispersed roaming users and subnets). Among the more notable application of pTerex^ma products currently being assessed by Department of Defense (DoD) agencies are: Mobile Command, C2 on the Move, Special Operations, tactical edge networks, in theater mesh networks, mobile logistics commands, Deployable Standing Joint Forces HQ, Staff deployments, mobile teams, sustainable first responder communications, and rapid deployment remote communications.

Tom Morgan, Michael Adolphi, and Earl Bowers demo the pTerex Mobile Network product at recent National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA)/U.S. Joint Forces Command Symposium held in Hampton, VA.

pTerex^ma Mobile Network products differ significantly from older, inflexible, limited "field," "portable" or "mobile" (e.g. satellite only) network products. pTerex^ma products were engineered from the ground up for use in harsh, fluid military environments and are designed to manage and optimize persistent, roaming connectivity to the home network through any available transport carrier-wired, cellular, WiFi, radio or satellite-with no user intervention or control. pTerex^ma products are fully compliant with all applicable military and commercial standards for security, connectivity, and ruggedness. Engineered for usefulness and longevity, pTerex^ma products implement all applicable commercial standards in a fully standardized, rugged PC104 framework to ensure forward "form, fit and function" compatibility with future carrier methodologies (e.g. 4.9gHz, 802.16, new satellite systems, etc) and military applications (e.g. JTRS, WIN-T, C2OTM, etc.). Mobile Staff product versions are packaged in a stylish, commercial airline carry on (size and weight), tempest compliant brushed aluminum travel case. An onboard, quick-charging UPS powers the unit for up to seven hours and accepts a charge from virtually any available power source (100 - 240 VAC, 10 - 36 VDC). All pTerex^ma products are environmentally tolerant, rugged and virtually silent in operation (no fans, motors or moving parts).

pTerex^ma products are the realization of a major objective of PROSOFT's long-term, ongoing R&D effort to ensure that the warfighter continues to receive what he has come to expect from PROSOFT. Paul Wong, President and co-founder of PROSOFT, commented that the pTerex^ma product line "draws and builds on every facet of our 20 year history of providing timely, secure, cutting-edge, useful, reliable, sustainable networking solutions to the Defense community-from our early experience assisting DISA with the design and implementation of the National Capitol Region DISAnet to our most recent successes in assisting JFCOM in the design and implementation of secure wireless networks."

PROSOFT is accepting orders for late summer delivery of the MTEN 2500. For information, please see our website: www.pterex.com.
