Mushroom Networks Announces Their Second Generation TRUFFLE Broadband Bonding Solution

Device Bonds Several Broadband Lines into a Single High-Speed Connection; New
Version Incorporates Higher Throughput, Enhanced QoS, and Automatic Failover
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Mushroom Networks, Inc., the innovator of broadband bonding technology, today
announced the second generation of the TRUFFLE (BBNA5201G) Broadband Bonding
device, the company`s flagship product line. Targeting small and medium-sized
businesses (SMB), enterprise branch offices, multi-tenant buildings, and
hospitality markets, TRUFFLE bonds as many as five high-speed Internet
connections of any type (DSL, cable, T1, DS3, fiber, wireless) into a single
Internet connection. The second generation version incorporates enhanced
flow-based quality-of-service (QoS), traffic prioritization and application
filtering, dual unit automatic failover, 1Gig Ethernet ports and higher maximum
throughput rates of over 300Mbps.

TRUFFLE is an Ethernet-based turn-key solution that easily installs between the
broadband modems and the local network at the customer`s premises without
requiring any configuration changes to the existing network or coordination with
the ISP. These unique capabilities give the customer the ability to mix and
match various services from multiple broadband providers delivering built-in
redundancy. If one or more of the links in the bonded pipe fail or is degraded,
the traffic is transparently spread across the remaining links without any
interruptions resulting in maximum network up time. When peered over the
Internet with another TRUFFLE device for example: connecting the main
headquarters with multiple branch offices, both the download and upload capacity
is aggregated solving a major industry pain point - slow uplink speeds for
Virtual Private Network (VPN) traffic.

In addition to much greater bi-directional maximum throughput rates, new
features include advanced QoS algorithms and application filtering that
intelligently prioritizes and manages traffic improving inbound real-time
traffic latency metrics for applications such as voice, streaming, and video
conferencing. Duel unit configuration enabling hot-swap failover to the standby
unit (active/passive availability); and bypass port failover during unforeseen
power outages ensures high-nines network reliability.

"Since the introduction of our initial Broadband Bonding technology last year,
enterprises have incorporated TRUFFLE and our other solutions as a way to cut
monthly broadband costs up to seventy percent by utilizing inexpensive DSL or
cable access lines in place of traditional services such as T1 or MPLS, " said
Dr. Cahit Akin, co-founder and CEO of Mushroom Networks. "Now through enhanced
QoS measures for real-time traffic prioritization and the ability to keep
networks running including the bonded VPN sessions, even during catastrophic
circumstances such as a cut line or power outage, our products are replacements
for Internet services such as leased line or MPLS and can be even deployed in
conjunction with those legacy systems to improve performance during a gradual
migration."

The TRUFFLE (BBNA5201G) is now shipping and comes standard with stateful
firewall, port-forwarding, static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE, DHCP, DMZ, UPnP,
Dynamic DNS and supports bonding of any type of traffic including VPN. For
