Press Release Summary = KVMS represents an unprecedented leap in potential for
production lines, clean-rooms, banks, schools, museums, training centers, and
digital signage installations.

Press Release Body = JERUSALEM, ISRAEL- Minicom Advanced Systems, a leading
manufacturer of solutions for KVM server management and digital signage A/V/Serial
distribution, has announced the newest addition to its line of extension products.
KVMS Extender allows you to operate keyboard, video, mouse and Serial devices up to
300m/1000ft from your computer using a single CAT5 UTP/FTP cable. In addition to
adding tremendous flexibility to KVM applications, the new, long range solution is
highly suited to the digital signage market - delivering real-time, high quality
video media to plasma/LCD screens at greater distances than ever before.

"KVMS represents an unprecedented leap in potential for production lines,
clean-rooms, banks, schools, museums, training centers, and digital signage
installations," said Amir Ginossar, product manager for Minicom. "To eliminate the
risk and impracticality of exposing valuable PC's and players at the site of the
plasma screen or KVM workstation, our customers can now connect them 300m/1000ft
away - keeping their PC's and players in a secure, environmentally controlled
operations room."

KVMS Extender is an easy to install, plug-and-play hardware solution that requires
no software and creates no network conflicts. It is compatible with virtually any
operating system and an extensive range of KVM switches. The system consists of a
transmitter and receiver connected by a single CAT5 cable. The transmitter connects
directly to the computer or media player and the receiver connects to the extended
keyboard, video, mouse or plasma/LCD screen, its small form-factor making it ideal
for desk or flat-panel mounting. An additional user can be added at the transmitter
end, creating a dual-user system. Full Serial communication via bi-directional
RS-232 facilitates touch-screen and additional Serial device applications. For
digital signage applications, the system facilitates high quality video
transmission, and allows the IT administrator to power on/off and query the status
of the extended display installation from the player.
