San Jose, California, April 4, 2006 – Asante Networks, (OTCPK:ASTN), a leading provider of networking solutions for the small-medium business (SMB) market, today announced the release of the company’s Next Generation Flagship Product, the Asante IntraCore 36524 Layer 3 routing switch. This high-performance Layer 3 routing switch, optimized for business and campus LAN or intranet, provides both wire speed Ethernet routing and switching services. The IntraCore 36524 can route the traffic between isolated subnets, increasing network throughput, as well as security and efficiency.

The IntraCore 36524 routing switch supports a variety of Layer 3 routing protocols and Layer 4 features, allowing it to look deeper into the packets to perform smart filtering functions. It also has advanced traffic control, based on L2-L7 data of incoming frames.

With 24 ports, the Asante IntraCore 36524 routing switch has a higher port density count than its predecessor, the IntraCore 35516. As a result, network administrators can divide the network into more network segments. Each segment, therefore, can provide more bandwidth with less network traffic congestion.

Also available at release of the IntraCore 36524, Asante offers an optional DC backup power supply that ensures continued operation in situations of primary power failure. Used wi th an emergency power supply the IntraCore 3 6524 can ensure high productivity and extremely low downtime on mission critical networks.

Bina Patel , Vice President of Sales/Marketing, commented, “ Asante sold many IC35516-T routing switches to schools and to the US Navy. We believe this new product will be even more successful. The IntraCore 36524 inherits all the software features of the IC35516-T, with a higher port count and mini-GBIC / SFP instead of GBIC.”

The introductory retail price for the Asante IntraCore 36524 Layer 3 routing switch is approximately $2,990, with shipments planned to begin in Q2 2006.
