| "In addition to significantly reducing our monthly expenses, ATM installations are easier and we save approximately $300 per install. Secondly, the CellDial component enables access to CDMA-based wireless networks, which offer greater coverage than the old CDPD protocol. This means we're able to increase the availability of our services." |

| “Our customers have dial based terminals and ATMs, and recognize the benefits of migrating to IP: eliminating telephone lines, and speeding transactions. Precidia's POSLynx220 is a unique alternative to equipment upgrade and replacement. It delivers value added features our customers appreciate, such as automatic dial back up, split dial and solid security." |

| “This solution is already proving to be a winner for AmeriStop. Not only can we reduce expense by eliminating costly dial lines, but the solution is completely seamless, allowing for an easy transition to IP using our existing payment terminals. It is the ideal solution for our convenience stores, where transaction speed and merchant costs are critical." |

| "Our customer locations linked to the FDMS and Telecheck hosts by the POSLynx are saving over $160.00 per month through reduced dial line costs and realizing transaction speeds that are 10 seconds faster than using dial up. They are gaining all the benefits of IP without changing their existing POS terminals or applications. Now that we can offer it to this significant market, we expect customer deployments of the POSLynx to increase exponentially." |

| ”The faster the line moves, the more people you can serve. The more people you serve the more money that can be made. It typically took 15 seconds or more to authorize a credit card. Doesn't seem like a lot of time, but when you look at it over the whole day, it adds up. With Precidia and SSL/VPN transactions, the processing time is cut to 3 to 7 seconds. People are in and out of line much faster, which also makes for a happier customer.” |

| “We were attracted by the ability to speed up our ATM transactions, without replacing existing systems. We also wanted ultimately to connect store equipment like check verification to the network. What we have discovered is the importance of an easily deployed product. The POSLynx220 is simple and easy to deploy, using NetVu. As we roll out to our remaining stores, we’ll be confident it can be done quickly, with little onsite technical support required. This eliminates a potential strain on our technical resources”. |

| “We knew the potential of broadband for cost savings and speed, but needed a transition strategy to get us there. The Staunch/Precidia solution helped us eliminate dedicated dial lines, while speeding transaction authorization from 12 seconds to under 2. With our video surveillance cameras also linked into the network, monitoring these unmanned sites has become more reliable. We have seen significant cost savings and operational efficiencies by converging multiple existing systems onto a common IP network, not to mention improved service to our customers”. |

With the POSLynx220, we can remotely view the merchant's store and network activity, allowing us to be even more proactive in offering support, message format changes, settlement assistance. Precidia understands the requirements of merchants in the ECR industry, and has designed a product that reduces their costs and enhances support. The solution is ideal for resellers and merchants searching for an 'all in one box' solution to integrate card acceptance, ECRs and peripherals on a broadband IP network". |

| "Efficient check out is important to our clients, as is the convenience of charging purchases to their account. The Precidia device helped link some of these applications to the network, eliminating dedicated leased lines, reducing costs and enhancing reliability." The compact Precidia device withstood salt water conditions, usually a major consideration. "Humidity alone is enough to rust equipment in our location – the Precidia device turned out to be a rugged little box". |

| “Not only have we reduced our transaction times from 12 seconds to an average of 4 seconds, access to a broadband network via the POSLynx220 has improved communications amongst our restaurants, and allowed our IT department to test and troubleshoot field devices from a central location. With NetVu we can easily manage multiple sites firmware and configuration. Knowing within minutes if a broadband connection is lost, often before the site, allows us take a more proactive approach to troubleshooting. NetVu also facilitates the deployment of multiple IP converters at once - straight out of the box; the installer only needs to know where to plug the cables!” |

| "The Precidia device solved a long standing issue for Limestone: how to gather information from all of our remote locations within the school district, monitor the data and alarms from our Andover Building Control equipment and feed it into a central PC. Precidia's Ether232 provided the most cost-effective solution. By connecting the Ether232 to the Andover device in each school's boiler/mechanical rooms, the data can now flow through our WAN to a central location. Solving this problem has been a key step in deploying our mission critical HVAC monitoring system. The Precidia device was simple and quick to install, and its size was easy to accommodate." |

| "Precidia's iPocket232 proved the best available solution to connect RS232 timeclocks in our service center to Ethernet, so they can talk over our WAN to a central server where we have time and attendance software installed. The iPocket's compact size meant it could be easily wall mounted along with our time clock, and its simplicity saved hours in installation and configuration time. The iPocket seems the ideal product for applications that require simple RS232 to Ethernet connectivity." |

| "The Ether232Plus has been a real cost effective solution. A world wide paper laminate manufacturer brought in a company to print from a PLC (programmable logic controller) across the network to a network printer, and to do to this they had to do a lot of reprogramming (over $2000 dollars). After I was hired they asked me to take a look at the problem for the second production line, after some research I found the precidia device and it works flawlessly, It takes the info from a serial port on the PLC and sends across the network to a HP Jetdriect 170 Printers and prints out to a Panasonic dot matrix printer. What I have done for less than 300.00 dollars on our second production line, the programers charge more than 10 times that on line 1 to do the same job. I am hoping that our other plants will purchase the Ether232Plus to complete the same tasks that I have, it is truly a remarkable product." |

| "We are implementing a system in our fabric warehouse whereby we attach a transponder to each bale (roll) of fabric in order to monitor it's whereabouts. There are about 30,000 bales in the warehouse. Our fabric store is under the control of software on our AS/400 system in the factory. In order to communicate with the transponders, we have equipment (reader/writer units) which have RS485 interfaces. As the AS/400 has no idea what an RS485 or RS232 interface is, we had originally planned to communicate via a PC which would be the intermediary between the transponder reader/writer and the AS/400. This would have meant additional software on the PC (to develop, debug & maintain), additional PC's in the field (to maintain, fail, support etc) and development of a protocol to do all this work. After a few unsuccessful attempts we were at our wits end when someone did a search on the web and come up with the Ether232. A little climb up a steep learning curve and the next thing we had serial ports on our AS/400 ! Response time is superb, and all support for the system is across our WAN from another site altogether. Great little boxes !!! " |

| "The Ether232Plus is working wonderfully. It replaced a 1200 baud modem and telephone line so we can upload and download information to our fuel pumping system. We are planning to purchase some more to connect to our fuel tank monitoring systems, so they can send alerts via the network instead of phone lines. Our first Ether232 is going to pay for itself in the first year due to the elimination of the analog phone line, not to mention that nobody has to hike out to the fuel pump and reset the modem after a lightning storm." |
