PROPAGATE PARTNERS WITH THE CWNP PROGRAM

Innovation and Market Acceptance Enable Propagate's AutoCell® as the Only Radio Frequency (RF) Management Firmware in the CWSP Wireless Security Curriculum

ACTON, MA and ATLANTA, GA, December 14, 2004 - Propagate Networks, Inc., developer of AutoCell cognitive radio firmware for 802.11 wireless networks, today announced a partnership with the CWNP Program, the industry standard for wireless LAN training and certification. AutoCell will become one of 15 labs taught to students in the CWSP wireless LAN security instructor led training course. AutoCell enabled on access points and client devices optimizes wireless LAN performance through automatic features not found in any other hardware or software-based RF management solution, such as patent-pending channel selection, power control, load balancing and RF client roaming.

"The partnership between Propagate and the CWNP Program reinforces the industry's growing acknowledgement that AutoCell is a leading approach to managing 802.11 wireless LAN RF environments automatically. We are pleased to have our technology as a key part of the CWSP class and labs," said Sylvio Jelovcich, vice president, marketing, Propagate Networks.

The CWSP class gives IT professionals the necessary skills for implementing and managing wireless security in the enterprise by creating solutions using tools from over 20 industry leading manufacturers. Wireless security training is critical for today's wireless LANs, and security for wireless solutions comes from educated wireless networking professionals implementing multiple safeguards. CWSP is the leading wireless LAN security training and certification available. Propagate Networks recommends that all of its system engineers and VARs earn CWNP certifications.

"We are very excited to have AutoCell become part of the CWSP curriculum," says Kevin Sandlin, CEO and co-founder of the CWNP Program. "Site surveying is a critical part of wireless LAN security, and this partnership adds even further value to an already outstanding array of products that are taught in our security course. Students who attend the CWSP wireless LAN security class are always astounded at the quantity and quality of information they learn. Having a Site Survey System lab in the class is another great feature for CWSP students."
