ABB Certifies Sixnet Industrial Ethernet Switches

Gigabit and Fast Ethernet Switches Receive ABB Industrial IT Certification for Compatibility and Interoperability

BALLSTON LAKE, New York, February 22, 2010 - Sixnet, a global market leader of machine-to-machine (M2M) networking
solutions for industrial and wireless markets, today announced it has earned
ABB Industrial IT certification for its Gigabit and Fast Ethernet industrial
switches.

ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies that enable
industrial and utility customers to improve performance while lowering
environmental impact. ABB's Industrial IT certification program ensures
interoperability between hardware and software products and systems from ABB
and third-party suppliers. Each certified product is tested and verified for
compliance with standards for compatibility and interoperability.

The ABB approval, which includes Sixnet's full line of SLX and SL
industrial Ethernet switches, allows the company to further deploy its
solutions in various industrial projects throughout the world.

"ABB certification validates that Sixnet solutions are designed and built
to withstand challenging industrial environments with the reliability and
features that our customers demand," said Maria Phillips, general manager and
executive vice president of the Industrial Networking Business Unit at
Sixnet. "For over 30 years we have focused on the industrial market, and this
certification further demonstrates our connectivity expertise."

Sixnet's ABB certification follows the company's January 2010 KEMA
approval announcement for its EL228 industrial Ethernet switch platform. KEMA
tests products to meet stringent environmental and redundancy standards
specific to the power and energy industry such as IEC61850 and IEEE1613.

Sixnet industrial Ethernet switches are designed to survive the toughest
industrial applications while providing real-time performance, fast network
redundancy and advanced security. These rugged switches, which offer easy
configuration through a web interface, are rated for outdoor, marine and
hazardous locations, and their advanced software supports RSTP for fast
redundancy, QoS for message prioritization, VLANs for network segregation and
IGMP for multicast filtering.
