SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan. 06, 2003 (INTERNET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Asante
Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: ASNT) will highlight a suite of high-performance
FriendlyNET(R) Gigabit Ethernet switches, Internet routers with firewalls, and a
USB memory reader/writer at Macworld San Francisco (January 7-10). The company
will also preview a high-speed memory reader/writer and upcoming IntraCore(TM)
Layer 3 Gigabit switches.
Powerful, Affordable, and Versatile--GX5 Series Gigabit Switches
Ideal for pre-press, graphics, and digital design professionals, the GX5 Series
includes high-density Gigabit Ethernet switches that deliver exceptional
performance. "We're one of the first to market with these superfast switches,"
said Rusty Callihan, Asante Vice President of Sales. "And because they use the
latest Gigabit Ethernet technology, the cost per port is dramatically less than
$150/port." The GX5-1300 and GX5-2400 switches also offer the flexibility of
connecting to fiber-based networks using industry-standard GBIC modules.
Securely Share Internet Connections--FR1004 Series Routers
"The competition has some catching up to do," commented MacNut Magazine after
viewing the FR1004AL. "This wireless router offers better value for those
looking for an easier, safer way to share their broadband Internet," remarked
Callihan. "It has an upgradeable antenna, more ports, and a parallel printer
port for network printing." Designed around a natural firewall, the FR1004
Series also provides multiple levels of security, eliciting a "Full Stealth
Mode" rating by ShieldsUP!-one of the industry's most popular Internet security
tests.

As digital cameras, camcorders, and PDAs proliferate, so do the many types of
digital flash memory. Asante's new Gini(TM) USB memory reader/writer supports
the 6 most popular types of digital media: Sony Memory Stick, CompactFlash, IBM
Microdrive, SmartMedia, MultiMedia Card, and Secure Digital. The Gini has

Computer Magazine: "You will fall in love with it instantly -- I guarantee it."
Higher speed USB 2.0 and FireWire versions are planned for later this year.
