Avocent Introduces First Wireless KVM Extender

LongViewO Wireless provides wireless control of computers 100 feet away

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., November 17, 2003 — Avocent Corporation (NASDAQ: AVCT) today announced LongViewO Wireless, the world’s first wireless keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) extender that can be used to wirelessly connect monitors (VGA, SVGA, XGA), keyboards, mice and audio devices to any desired computer, up to 100 feet away. LongView Wireless, based on 802.11a and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), connects directly to target devices and serves as the radio interface link so that the computer can transmit secure audio and high resolution video data through walls – all without VGA cables.

Avocent has developed patent pending compression and protocol technology that enables this key innovation, supporting the transmission of 24-bit color at 30 frames per second. LongView Wireless has immediate applications for several markets as it can provide simplified IT maintenance, reduce downtime and increase the level of flexibility in configuring and mounting computers and displays.

“We are proud to illustrate how Avocent’s commitment to research and development continues to propel, evolve and lead the KVM industry,” said John Cooper, CEO of Avocent. “We look at this innovation as another technical breakthrough with applications in a variety of new markets.”

Avocent will unveil LongView Wireless at Computer Digital Expo, booth 2222 in Las Vegas Nov. 17-20. More details can be found online: www.avocent.com.
