Lantronix Introduces New Linux Capability With Embedded Device Server MatchPort AR

IRVINE, CA, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
2009 Embedded Systems Conference -- Lantronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a
leading provider of secure, remote device networking and data center
management technologies, today announced support for Linux on their wired
embedded device server product, MatchPort AR. The new offering caters to
the growing Linux development community, expanding the market opportunity
for the product.

The Linux software development kit (SDK) significantly simplifies and
accelerates the process of development on Linux-based platforms. It
provides a board support package (BSP) for MatchPort AR along with a
turnkey development environment that includes an industry-validated set of
Linux software tools built around the Linux 2.6 kernel. Combined with
standard GNU toolchains, developers can easily integrate their
applications using pre-defined configuration profiles and software
assembly tools. Sample applications are provided within the SDK, allowing
developers to jump-start their application development.

With the new MatchPort AR SDK, users have the advantage of the
well-established Linux community. The product's ease-of-use allows
administrators to create new applications with greater flexibility,
improving time to market and sales opportunity. Lantronix also provides
robust firmware upgrade and system recovery tools that ease the pain of
maintaining previously deployed devices. Additionally, in the event of a
failure, the MatchPort AR can recover the system -- sparing developers
from serious setbacks.

"The Linux development community is one of the fastest growing today, and
we want to tailor our products to cater to their needs," said Daryl
Miller, vice president of engineering of Lantronix. "Working with our
partner Nissin Systems, we were able to take this first leap in
penetrating the Linux space, and will continue to establish Linux as the
base platform for our product development moving forward."

"We recognized the great market potential for bringing MatchPort AR's
Ethernet networking capabilities to the Linux community," said Yoshinori
Koike, vice president of sales at Nissin Systems. "Lantronix is an
industry innovator and the next natural step was to make the company's
solutions available to the increasing population of Linux developers."

MatchPort AR with Linux development kits will be available in April.
