Multi-Tech(R) Systems, Inc., a leading data communications and

Multi-Tech wireless modems deployed with Symstream will provide a global
wireless technology solution that offers greater flexibility and connectivity
to ATM terminals, kiosks and POS terminals. The combined solution allows
transactions to be sent without a fixed-line communications network and
ensures faster, secure and more reliable services.

By integrating the internationally patented Symstream wireless technology
with Multi-Tech's wireless modems, businesses are able to send and receive
transaction data across the GSM/3g network via a data transmission method
that is comparable in reliability to a leased data line at a fraction of the
costs, with a similar level of security and without the obvious limitations
and restrictions of a fixed wire service.

These Multi-Tech modems support the recently released Symstream Souran
Platform(R) ("SSP") an advanced carrier grade management platform solution
that provides a complete end-to-end solution that allows for a domestic or
globally deployed network of ATM's, Kiosks and POS devices to be managed from
a central management point.

"This strategic alliance between Multi-Tech and Symstream allows both
companies to focus on their respective strengths while delivering a superior
and seamless solution to our mutual customers," said Mike Kydd, Vice
President of Sales, of Multi-Tech Systems. "This will provide our customers
with the strongest, most flexible and secure managed wireless connectivity
solution available today."

The initial Multi-Tech product line of Symstream enabled products
includes embedded SocketModem(R) communications devices and stand-alone
MultiModem(R) wireless modems with various connectivity options including
USB, Ethernet and serial interfaces with products targeted for release during
the 2nd quarter 2008.
