Mushroom Networks, Inc. Announces a Virtual Leased Line Solution for the Enterprise Market

Solution Creates a Dedicated High-Speed Broadband Connection
Between the Enterprise and its Branch Offices and Offsite Data Centers
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Mushroom Networks, Inc., the innovator of one-sided broadband
bonding technology, today announced their Virtual Leased Line (VLL)
solution that utilizes the company's Broadband Bonding(TM) technology
and the Internet to create high-speed dedicated point-to-point
connections. Targeting the enterprise, VLL offers a unique and cost
effective way to create dedicated virtual networks between branch
offices or offsite collocations such as data centers while solving a
major bottleneck issue by delivering incredibly fast downlink and
uplink speeds.

VLL is based on the company's flagship Truffle Broadband Bonding
product line that combines multiple broadband Internet connections of
any type including DSL, cable, T1, fiber into a single virtual
high-speed link. Utilizing VLL, a Truffle unit placed at the
enterprise headquarters can be paired with another placed offsite
creating a virtual dedicated point-to-point bonded link for any IP
traffic including VPNs, file transfers, network storage, and IP based
voice and video communications. Because high bandwidth speeds can be
achieved bi-directionally, VLL effectively solves the uplink
bottleneck commonly associated with other dedicated services for
connecting to the branch office or data center at a fraction of the
cost.

"Creating a reliable private network between two points has
generally been an expensive endeavor even when utilizing services like
T1 which are extremely slow compared with today's broadband
standards," said Dr. Cahit Akin, co-founder and CEO of Mushroom
Networks. "VLL is a very simple concept that allows the enterprise to
build point-to-point fast and reliable IP pipes via bonding
inexpensive Internet connections at each end and then connect the
networks together using the Internet. Just imagine your own secure
network over multiple geographic locations with unbelievable downlink
and uplink speeds for just a few hundred dollars per month."

VLL leverages technology built into the Mushroom Networks'
broadband bonding product lines including support for 25,000
simultaneous IP connections and a built-in VoIP quality manager to
improve voice quality by minimizing latency for both inbound and
outbound voice traffic. Mushroom's lines also incorporate an internal
router and stateful firewall capability that can be enabled by the
user as needed along with support for standard Internet services such
as port-forwarding, port binding, WAN interface binding, static IP,
dynamic IP, PPPoE, DHCP, DMZ, UPnP, and Dynamic DNS.

In addition, Mushroom's Ethernet-based devices easily install
between the broadband modems and the local network at the user site
without requiring any configuration changes to the existing network or
coordination with the ISPs. This feature gives the enterprise ability
to mix and match various services from multiple providers delivering
built-in network redundancy. If one or more of the bonded links fails
or is degraded, the traffic is transparently spread across the
remaining links in real-time without any interruptions resulting in
maximal network uptime.

For a limited time, VLL will be available for no additional charge
with Truffle purchases and a free VLL upgrade is available for
existing Truffle customers. Mushroom Networks is also seeking value
added resellers, IT sales representatives, broadband service providers
and Internet Data Centers who would like to offer virtual leased line
services to their customers.
