Leading Industrial Sales And Marketing Consultancy Supporting International Expansion

Austin, Texas – March 28, 2005 – Britestream Networks, a catalyst for the creation of a ubiquitous, secure and private Internet, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with EL-GEV Electronics, Inc. to service its international customers located in Israel, and to market and distribute its products to other prospective customers in the region. The agreement authorizes EL-GEV to market the Britestream BN1010 SSL security NIC and the BN2010 SSL ASIC products.

The Britestream BN1010 is the world’s first SSL/TLS security NIC that is completely self-contained and manages all facets of SSL/TLS processing on a single PCI card. It is a groundbreaking new concept that's resetting the bar for Internet security. By processing data in real time directly in the network stream, Britestream technology handles secure data—completely, autonomously and transparently—freeing up systems to handle the tasks they were designed for. The BN1010 couples plug-and-play simplicity and uncompromised performance with fortified protection.

“Britestream’s security solution is revolutionary and will be a good fit for the growing Internet access market,” said Yoel Yogev, CEO of El- GEV. “As the network security market continues to grow, we are seeing increasing demand for this type of product.”

Mike Salas, vice president of marketing at Britestream Networks said, “EL-GEV is one of the region’s leading distributors and we’re pleased to be partnering with such a highly focused and experienced partner.
