Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, September 21, 2000 -- Intrinsyc (CDNX: ICS) today announced that it is introducing a new networking technology that reliably links Linux-based devices to Windows enterprise systems. Building on the success of Intrinsyc's deviceCOM for Windows CE and NT, Intrinsyc's new deviceCOM for Linux enables customers to use Windows at the enterprise level, while taking advantage of the benefits offered by Linux for embedded devices.

"Intrinsyc's engineers have solved a highly complex and pervasive networking challenge that has emerged with the boom in Linux applications," says Derek Spratt, CEO of Intrinsyc. "By creating opportunities to use Windows and Linux in concert and by bridging the enterprise and device levels, Intrinsyc's new deviceCOM for Linux represents a significant step toward the development of multi-operating system solutions."

Intrinsyc has been licensing deviceCOM for Windows CE and NT since 1998 and it has emerged as an industry standard for connectivity solutions with few rivals. It is currently licensed by a number of Intrinsyc customers, including Ford, ICONICS, and Intellution. Intrinsyc will license the use of deviceCOM for Linux in the same manner, following general release of the product in January 2001.
