Press Release Body = Officials of Ambriel Technologies, a technology frontrunner in the
migration from IPv4 to IPv6, today announced that it has
accomplished a technology breakthrough thereby successfully
demonstrating a translation capability designed to allow native
IPv6 hosts to communicate with IPv4 hosts without the need for
proxy or a dual stack.

According to Faith B. Power, Ambriel Technologies Chief
Executive Officer, this new technology is significant in that it
provides the user the ability to access IPv6 and IPv4 Internet using
single-stack IPv6 protocol, without having to make large capital
investments in IPv6 system changes.

"Our unique translation design is truly transparent to the end user,"
explained Power. "It is agnostic of what infrastructure it is on,
making it compatible with encrypted and unencrypted networks,
including IPv4," she added.

As a result, Power said, the technology allows users to maintain
their current IPv4 equipment life cycle schedules and migrate to
IPv6 at their own pace, yet have the ability to exceed standard IPv6
capabilities without wholesale changes to their current systems.

IPv6 capabilities that can be achieved with the technology include:

extending one's network to remote locations.

facilitating end-to-end secure transmissions between
locations.

modular encryption that supports 3DES, Blowfish,
Twofish, AES, and most other block ciphers-all
encryptions are long key and rapidly changing pairs to
provide some protection against birthday and rainbow table
exploits.

Currently, the prototype technology is patent-pending and has
proven viable for a two-port 10/100 MB single-device mode for
small office applications. Ambriel Technologies officials have
indicated confidence as they embark on adapting the technology
for gateway mode applications, specifically for a five-port 10/100
MB device and a five-port 10/100 GB device for high-volume
throughput.

"These devices using the breakthrough technology, known as the
ATX-Series, are planned for manufacturing and will possibly be
available to the consumer in the next several months," said Power.
"Ambriel Technologies can customize a device on an individual
basis right now," she added.

Oscar Roeder, Ambriel Technologies Chief Operating Officer,
indicated that development of the new translation technology was
precipitated by the technology world's migration over the past
several years toward the new Internet Protocol (version 6).

Roeder pointed to several significant events that are leading the
way toward migration in the U.S.:

The Department of Defense (DoD) established an IPv6
Transition Office in March 2004, to provide overall
coordination, common engineering solutions, and technical
guidance for the adoption of IPv6 across the DoD.

On August 2, 2005, the Federal Office of Management and
Budget issued a mandate for all government agencies'
technology infrastructures to be working toward IPv6
compliance by June of 2008.

On May 7, 2007, the American Registry for Internet
Numbers (ARIN) Board of Trustees passed a resolution
advising the Internet technical community that only 19
percent of the IPv4 address space remains and that
migration to IPv6 will be necessary to allow continued
growth of the Internet.

"Ambriel Technologies' new proprietary transition solution allows
users in both the public and private sectors to meet their time
frames in being IPv6 compliant using their current equipment
configurations. The benefits of IPv6 for a user include greater
communications security, higher speed and accuracy, improved
Quality of Service, more mobility, and simpler administration,"
Roeder said.

"For example, companies that are subject to regulations associated
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2005 (accounting and reporting),
and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 (HIPAA), related to information privacy, are especially
interested in an IPv6 solution such as ours," he added.

Ambriel Technologies, founded in July 2006, is based in
Winchester, Virginia. The company is engaged in technology
research and development that supports, enhances and expands the
capabilities of global communications. Ambriel Technologies
offers strategic top-end technology solutions and consulting that
support business objectives, combined with bottom-end network
engineering that provides for appropriate and often customized
application of solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner. Its
multi-disciplined approach makes Ambriel Technologies a "go to"
company for both technology solutions and implementation. Much
of the company's attention, to date, has been focused on the design
of intelligent devices and services to help bridge the gap between
IPv4 and IPv6.
