NetEqualizer and AiBridges Partner to bring high speed broadband Internet to Ireland

Lafayette, Colorado, USA , August 30, 2006 - NetEqualizer, a leading bandwidth shaper in the U.S., has been seeing success in the Ireland high tech market.

"We've used it now with quite a number of customers and the results have been remarkable," says Kevin Hayes of Ai Bridges in Ennis, County Clare. “The Irish market has strict rules governing how ISPs allocate and promote internet bandwidth. The NetEqualizer is essential for helping us meet those requirements while at the same insuring the highest quality of service possible.

Ai Bridges is a leading supplier of innovative broadband communications solutions and services for the telecom's industry. They experienced slowed networks, which is common for large networks, and have used the NetEqualizer to make sure high priority and latency sensitive applications are not affected by larger traffic.

The penetration of ISPs in Ireland has been growing strongly in the past several years. However, less than half of the homes in Ireland have Internet service. According to the Irish Internet Association, Irish broadband adoption is in the bottom quarter across 30 OECD countries. But there is a growing recognition that a strong online presence is increasingly important to businesses and use of the Internet is beneficial to companies as well as students and individuals. By making the Internet service run as smoothly as international state of the art standards, Ai Bridges has become a leader in facilitating Internet penetration in Ireland.

The CEO of NetEqualizer, Art Reisman, will be making a special trip to the Ai Bridges facility on September 18 for a training of the ISP techs and system integrators.

Ai Bridges provides comprehensive turnkey solutions and has extensive experience and knowledge in designing, project implementation and support of broadband telecom's solutions. They have designed and commissioned Wireless Broadband projects throughout Ireland and abroad and have worked successfully with leading vendors to bring telecommunications grade equipment to market

The NetEqualizer a product of APConnections, is a plug-and-play bandwidth control appliance that is flexible and scalable. When the network is congested, NetEqualizer's unique "behavior shaping" technology gives priority to latency sensitive applications, such as VoIP and email. It does it all dynamically and automatically, improving on other bandwidth shaping technology out there. It controls network flow for the best WAN Optimization.

APConnections is a privately held company founded in 2003 and is based in Lafayette, Colorado (www.netequalizer.com).
