SILCOM INTRODUCES TWO NEW TOKEN RING MAUS

Toronto, Ont. July 1994 - SilCom Manufacturing Technology Inc., a North
American manufacturer of token ring products, is introducing two new token
ring MAUs, the first of a new series of TR DIRECT/MaxiMAUs, at
COMDEX/Canada.

SilCom's two new MaxiMAUs maximize features and installation flexibility.
These 8 port, token ring MAUs are not only rack mountable, but easily wall
mounted due to their one inch deep profile.

The MaxiMAU's feature set includes:

* compatibility with IEEE 802.5 standard and interoperability
  with IBM 8228
* support up to 8 workstations at 4 or 16 Mbps with LEDs for
  each port
* no external power required
* both UTP (RJ-45 connectors) and STP (IBM type data connectors)
  models
* designed with RI and RO adjacent for simplified cable
  management
* UTP connectors for Ring-In and Ring-Out are self healing
* compact, light weight design with a one inch deep profile
* battery powered reset button with green LED to indicate
  successful global reset
* five year warranty

In the third quarter of '94, SilCom will be releasing a new Active
MaxiMAU-A with a modular design enabling users to upgrade their MaxiMAU-As
on-site. Users can feel confident purchasing for current needs, knowing
that these units can be upgraded in the field as networking requirements
increase. MaxiMAU module upgrades include in and out of band SNMP and
jitter filters.
