Intelispan Releases a Secure Business to Business Electronic Commerce Solution TradeSPAN Version 2.1

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 26, 1999--Officials with Intelispan (OTC BB:IVPN - news) announced today the commercial availability of TradeSPAN(tm) version 2.1, a secure business to business electronic commerce solution.

TradeSPAN v2.1 enables trading communities and business partners to securely exchange business-critical information over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, including the Internet. TradeSPAN v2.1 can be deployed to co-exist with legacy systems without disrupting established communications flows, providing an easy migration path to IP networking from older, non-IP networks.

TradeSPAN v2.1 seamlessly integrates with existing EDI translation packages, allowing companies to migrate EDI transactions off of expensive value-added networks (VANs) and onto economical IP services. By eliminating the traditional kilo-character charges associated with EDI transactions over traditional VANs, TradeSPAN v2.1 can save companies over 60% off of their typical network transport charges. Developed in Java, TradeSPAN v2.1 is platform independent, giving all trading partners the same interface and features, regardless of the different types of operating systems found within the environment. The new economic model of TradeSPAN v2.1 allows the inclusion of low volume trading partners into the trading community by removing the previously unavoidable high costs of implementation and ongoing management and usage.

''The real power of the solution is that it does not require a wholesale change in the way a company and its trading partners currently transact business, but provides a smooth migration path for legacy applications to move over to secure IP networks,'' said Ron Loback, COO of Intelispan. ''Unlike other industry solutions, TradeSPAN v2.1 does not require companies to face the overwhelming prospect of having to totally cut the lifeline to existing VANs while they upgrade their infrastructures to 21st century technology.''

Intelispan offers TradeSPAN v2.1 as either a shrink-wrapped product or as a bundled application with its IP Virtual Private Network (VPN) service, exSPANd(tm). When bundled with exSPANd, trading communities can deploy an unlimited number of TradeSPAN v2.1 clients among all of their trading partners with no up-front investment costs. Intelispan's exSPANd offers secure and economical transport over an IP network separate from the Internet, with over 300 points of presence domestically and 45 countries internationally.

''With the release of TradeSPAN v2.1, Intelispan is positioned to act as a secure IP VAN, facilitating transactions and transporting documents across our network in addition to acting as a gateway for legacy VAN traffic,'' said Loback. ''By eliminating the per-transaction costs, Intelispan can deliver dramatic savings to our customers.''

TradeSPAN v2.1 is positioned to take advantage of the growth in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Supply Chain Integration (SCI) marketspace. Certified by CommerceNet, TradeSPAN v2.1 provides Internet EDI (EDIINT) capabilities and is interoperable with other CommerceNet certified products. Additional features now available as part of TradeSPAN v2.1, include support for Secure HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTPS), the ability to communicate with any S/MIME application, and a built-in dialing utility to automatically connect to a service provider.

Intelispan is a Scottsdale-based company that provides and distributes this group of secure, high-value business communications solutions through a network of Network Integration companies and VARs (alliance partners). Intelispan has shares listed for trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (OTC BB:IVPN - news). For more information, visit Intelispan on the World Wide Web at www.intelispan.com.

''We are very motivated to work with Intelispan,'' said George Fischer, president of First Financial Equity. ''Intelispan has positioned itself perfectly in the high tech industry with state of the art technology in a fast growing market.''

SunStar Communications Selects Intelispan for VPN and Dedicated Internet Services

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 1999--Intelispan Inc. (OTC BB:IVPN - news) and SunStar Communications jointly announced a strategic agreement to offer Intelispan's leading edge Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Internet services to SunStar customers.

SunStar has recently signed contracts with two credit unions to provide VPN Services and Dedicated Internet designed specifically for home banking applications.

''We've had 25 years of experience in developing and implementing leading edge technology for the financial services industry,'' said John Hobko, president and CEO of SunStar Communications. ''We have our first circuits installed in two credit unions and look forward to adding additional financial institutions. This represents a tremendous opportunity for us, as the use of electronic banking services is growing exponentially.''

SunStar Communications is a Phoenix-based company that sells secure Internet services over an intelligent, private network to financial institutions. In addition, SunStar is positioned to incorporate Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) standards using SunStar's smart card technology to store digital certificates and public and private key information as soon as it becomes a published standard. Additionally, Internet security can be further enhanced through integration of biometrics technology (fingerprint, digital picture identification) utilizing SunStar's smart card technology. These security enhancements combined with SunStar's communication solutions, ensure SunStar's position within the global financial Internet market.

''We're happy to add SunStar as one of our strategic channel partners,'' said Ron Loback, senior vice president and COO of Intelispan. ''We believe our communications solutions are a perfect fit for the financial industry, and that we complement SunStar's existing Smart Card technology well.''

Intelispan's security architecture includes four distinguishing features not found in other VPN solutions: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication at the network level, policy based network access control, strategic private IP addresses, and encryption at the application level as opposed to session layer encryption (tunneling or SSL). Intelispan also offers software that encrypts documents at the application layer, enabling corporations to effectively and securely exchange mission-critical data with other members of their collaborative trading community. Intelispan uses industry standards, security, and process management to automate connections with multiple trading partners.
