AUSTIN, Texas, October 29 /PRNewswire/ --     Ringdale(R), Inc., a global technology leader in network enhancing
connectivity solutions, is pleased to report record interest in its IP-based
Access Control, Time & Attendance and newly launched Home Automation products
at GITEX Technology Week conference and exhibition held last week in Dubai.

Ringdale's Home Automation solution, which was unveiled at GITEX,
integrates with the Apple(R) iPod(R) touch and iPhone(TM) as the remote
control, and manages everything from outdoor and indoor lighting, security
systems and access control, air conditioning, irrigation, garage doors,
wireless computer connections, CCTV and IP phones.

Ringdale's partner in the Middle East, Intuitive Systems, a value adding
distributor of software and hardware solutions and a participant at GITEX for
several years, demonstrated Ringdale's products, including its flagship
FollowMe(R) Secure Document Output Management solution, to an unprecedented
number of visitors at its stand. Intuitive Systems provides inventory and
technical support resources in the Middle East to allow Ringdale to react
swiftly to customers' requirements.

"GITEX was a perfect venue for us to showcase our Access Control products
and launch our new Home Automation solution," said Klaus Bollmann, chief
executive officer, Ringdale and chairman and chief executive officer of its
parent company, Network Technology Plc. "The Middle East market has been very
significant for us. Ringdale is by far the largest player in secure document
output management in the region, and has several thousand printers connected
to the FollowMe solution. As the market grows and expands its need for
advanced IP-based access control and authenticated printing, it will continue
to play a major role in our international business development."

GITEX was also an ideal platform for Ringdale to forge a closer
partnership with Maskan Arabia, a leading housing development company in the
Middle East, which was echoed in a Maskan press conference held the last day
of the conference.
