May 18, 2006 - Precidia Technologies Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of Internet Protocol (IP) access devices, announced today that it has been selected by leading broadband provider Cybera Inc. to provide network connectivity to serial equipment in convenience stores.

Cybera will use a customized iPocket232 as part of Shell Oil Products U.S. (NYSE:RDS.A, RDS.B) 'CoolBand' program. Coolband allows convenience store and petroleum retailers to consolidate a wide range of store equipment on a single broadband network infrastructure.

"The combination of Cybera's SmartNetwork and Precidia's iPocket232 is perfect for Shell operators who want to take advantage of new technology," said Cliff Duffey, Cybera's chief executive officer. "We both provide reliable, highly secure infrastructure that improves competitiveness and the bottom line."

Equipment connected by iPocket232 to the broadband IP network provided by Cybera could range from payment processing terminals, such as Ruby™ terminals, to tank monitors to video surveillance. The compact, plug and play adapter, which works seamlessly on any broadband network, speeds point-of-sale transactions and reduces the cost of networking by implementing a single multi-application solution.

Precidia president Deepak Wanner congratulated Cybera on becoming the first Shell certified partner for this industry leading broadband program, which he believes gives Shell a unique competitive advantage.

"CoolBand's complete, simple, end-to-end managed solution delivers IP connectivity at a reasonable cost", said Mr. Wanner. "We're pleased that the iPocket232 can play a significant role in this initiative, helping operators avoid equipment replacement and retraining costs throughout the transition to broadband."

Shell Oil Products US has approximately 10,000 stores in the United States. In addition, operators may use Coolband to connect stores that are not under the Shell brand. The iPocket232 was customized to the needs of Shell's operators as selected by Cybera to meet Shell's high security and reliability standards.
