FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) – March 11, 2003 – SOYO® Group, Inc. (OTCBB: SOYO), the leading global maker of award-winning motherboards, computer peripheral, portable USB flash devices, and barebone systems, today introduced a new line of complete wireless networking products for the expanding home and SOHO users. SOYO’s Aerielink® wireless router kit is the first in the new line of high reliability wireless routers and access points, network interface cards (NIC), and wireless gateways.

Based on the maturing IEEE 802.11b standard, the Aerielink Wireless Router Kit, AS-WRO1401, features a wireless router and wireless USB adaptor for desktop and mobile devices. To capture the high volume entry-level market, Aerielink’s kit is aggressively priced and features a user-friendly setup interface enabling plug-and-play capability.

Packing in an incredible transfer rate of 11 Mbps, the Aerielink wireless adapter for desktop and notebook PC features a convenient USB connector, support for 64- and128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption for secured networking, and two antennas (internal and external) for extended transmission range. The Aerielink wireless router demystifies wireless networking with its full feature set and universal compatibility. Simple set up and configuration makes this product perfect for first time users. It offers IP sharing, firewall, and can double as a 4-port switch or home gateway. Once connected with other networked PCs, the wireless network allows users to share hard drives, DVD and CD drives, printers and provides shared access to a cable or DSL modem for Internet access.

“Wireless home networking has taken off among savvy, more technical home PC users who have installed such systems on their own,” said Bruce Lin, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “However, we see a growing demand among entry level home and SOHO users who seek cost effective solutions. The Aerielink Router Kit offers the best of both worlds, a full feature set at a competitive price.”

“Upgrading from a wired to a wireless network can be intimidating,” said Ming Chok, President & CEO. “In addition to the price incentive, we offer online troubleshooting and free technical support to ensure high customer satisfaction.”

The Aerielink Wireless Router Kit is available immediately through authorized SOYO resellers at a MSRP of $169.
