NetEqualizer Announces End-of-Year Demo Units for Colleges, Libraries, Municipalities and Public School Districts

LAFAYETTE, Colo., Dec. 12, 2007 - APconnections, a leading supplier of plug-and-play bandwidth shaping products, today announced plans to offer on-site NetEqualizer demo units to North American colleges, libraries, school districts, and municipalities.

Since the NetEqualizer was first released, the technology has been implemented in public institutions across the United States and the world.

Just a sampling of some customers already using the product includes Loyola University of Chicago, MacCalester College, Henderson Nevada Public Library, Warren Newport Library system, Drew University, University of Tampa, Northern Michigan College, Lewis University, University of Dallas, City of St. Paul (Minnesota), and the City of Thornton (Colorado).

NetEqualizer is in use by more than 1500 unique customers on six continents.

"We switched to a NetEqualizer in 2006 after previously using a high-end solution and have been very pleased with the results ever since," said Derrick D'Gama, director of Information Services at Lewis University.

"It immediately made our Internet better. People were able to reliably surf the Internet," said Sean Hill of Henderson Public Library, Henderson, Nevada.

"Last September, we offered a limited number of demo units to universities only. The program was well-received by our customers, so well in fact that our board approved another round of demo units for immediate distribution. With this latest offering, we are delighted to include all public institutions," said Art Reisman, CEO of APconnections. "This will give them an opportunity to try our technology going into the new year."

The NetEqualizer is a plug-and-play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance that is flexible and scalable. When the network is congested, NetEqualizer's unique "behavior shaping" technology gives priority to latency sensitive applications, such as VoIP and email. The technology allows customers to extend the life of their T1, E1, OC3, DS3 or T3 Internet connections without purchasing additional bandwidth.

Public institutions interested in testing a NetEqualizer demo unit, or that simply have questions about the technology, can contact APconnections at 1-800-918-2763 or sales@apconnections.net.
