Adder Launches CATx KVM Switch to Provide SMBs with Enterprise-Grade Control and
Flexibility over IT System Operations

AdderView CATx 1000 KVM Switch Only Product of Its Kind
to Deliver Stereo Audio and Unsurpassed Port Capacity

NEWBURYPORT, MA and LAS VEGAS - April 28, 2008 - Adder, a leading developer of KVM
switches, extenders and KVM over IP solutions, today announced the launch of the
AdderView CATx 1000. The AdderView CATx 1000 is a compact, multiplatform KVM switch
with audio support that allows a user to control up to 16 computers connected to the
CATx switch via CAT 5 cable locally at the switch or remotely up to 1,000 feet away.


The use of CATx cable from the computer to the switch allows for a much smaller
switch, greatly reduced cable bulk and more flexibility. Part of the CATx Series of
Adder KVM devices, the CATx 1000 has been designed to minimize space requirements
where space is at a premium and maximize flexibility both in use and location. One
or two of the KVM switches can be rack mounted and cascaded with other CATx 1000s to
support up to 256 computers.

"We believe that the small to medium-sized business will greatly benefit from the
CATx 1000 as it delivers all of the advantages of an enterprise CATx switch in a
desktop form factor for smaller server rooms," said Nigel Dickens, Adder's Technical
Director. "It also provides the richest feature-set available on the market at less
than a third of the price of traditional 19-inch CATx solutions. This product truly
enables SMBs to have the same operation flexibility and stability previously enjoyed
by much larger enterprises."

The CATx 1000 delivers a wide range of features including digital stereo audio, high
resolution video, USB device control and an advanced on screen display and serial
control for remote switching, power control and synchronizing with other CATx 1000
units. Users can also leverage security profiles which identify the user prior to
handing over control and even duplicate the connection profiles onto other CATx 1000
devices if required. Another impressive feature is Display Data Channel (DDC)
handling where the KVM uses specific information transferred from the display device
to ensure correct video is maintained with host machines.

The CATx 1000 can be connected to just about any type of host including PC, Server,
Mac or Sun by leveraging Adder's Computer Access Modules (CAMs) to enable broad
connectivity options. The CATx 1000 carries keyboard country codes enabling
different keyboards from different countries to be used on Sun hosts. The KVM
switch also uses 'keep alive' technology which maintains the impression of keyboard
and mouse being present, even when disconnected for a long period of time between
KVM selections.


Pricing & Availability:
The AdderView CATx 1000 is available through local distribution partners around the
world. Distribution information can be found at www.adder.com. The 8-port
AdderView CATx 1000 will carry a list price of $495 and the 16-port AdderView CATx
1000 will carry a list price of $645.

Adder (booth #2630) will debut the AdderView CATx 1000 at INTEROP Las Vegas from
April 29th through May 1st.
