Citrix to Provide General Dynamics and WIN-T Increment 1 with Satellite Bandwidth Optimization Capabilities

Citrix WANScaler to Ensure Real-Time Warfighter Access to Global Information
Grid
BETHESDA, Md.--(Business Wire)--
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) announced today that it has supplied General
Dynamics with over 1,500 Citrix WANScaler units that will be used to help
optimize satellite bandwidth for the U.S. Army and its WIN-T (Warfighter
Information Network-Tactical) initiative. WIN-T is the Army`s on-the-move,
high-speed, high-capacity backbone communications network which links
warfighters on the battlefield with the Global Information Grid (GIG).

With Citrix WANScaler, the Army has an appliance that supports the Space
Communication Protocol Standards (SCPS) and uses flow control capabilities to
ensure that data and applications are delivered seamlessly, with no latency
issues, to the end-user. Citrix WANScaler helps the Army meet one of the goals
of helping the CIO G-6`s 500 day play, which is the delivery of seamless
LandWarNet to soldiers. LandWarNet is the Army`s information capabilities,
associated processes, and personnel for collecting, processing, storing,
disseminating, and managing information for supporting warfighters, policy
makers, and support personnel.

"This solution enables the Army to provide its forward-deployed soldiers with
real-time applications and information via their existing tactical networks,"
said Tom Simmons, area vice president for Citrix Federal. "We`re proud and
honored to support the mission of WIN-T and the warfighters it serves."

WIN-T is a critical enabler of LandWarNet, the Army`s part of GIG that includes
all Army networks. WIN-T introduces a mobile, ad-hoc, self-configuring and
self-healing network using satellite on-the-move capabilities, robust network
management and high-bandwidth radio systems to keep mobile forces connected,
communicating and synchronized.

Citrix WANScaler brings to WIN-T a best-in-class application delivery for remote
locations and a WAN optimization solution that improves the performance of
applications to end users by 5x to 30x or more, while substantially improving
productivity and reducing the cost of delivering those applications.

Simmons says the Citrix WANScaler offering for WIN-T is optimized specifically
around the Department of Defense network and allows like devices to communicate
using SCPS.

Citrix WANScaler is part of Citrix Branch Repeater product family, a solution
that accelerates the delivery of virtualized applications to users in branch
offices and enables consolidation of the servers that provide essential services
in the branch office.
