ALANTEC Corporation, a pioneer of intelligent LAN switching hubs, today
announced a Fast Ethernet (100Mbps Ethernet) module for the company's
flagship PowerHub 7000 high-end backbone intelligent switching hub.

Available in June, this product is the company's second Fast Ethernet
announcement in less than a month. ALANTEC last week unveiled the Fast
Ethernet capabilities of its new PowerHub 6000 intelligent switching hub
designed for department and high-end workgroup LANs.

Using the 13x1 Fast Ethernet module, customers will be able to resolve
bandwidth bottlenecks on their LANs. Specific examples include connecting
multiple Ethernet clients to Fast Ethernet servers, high performance
desktop applications requiring 100Mbps direct to a workstation, and
backbone implementations, such as high-speed switch-to-switch connections
between ALANTEC's PowerHub 7000 and 6000.

The module offers one 100BaseTX, -FX or -T4 port, and 12 switched 10Mbps
ports. Both full and half duplex standards of Ethernet are supported. A
comprehensive range of connectivity options include: 100BaseTX, -FX and
-T4; 10BaseT, 10BaseFL, 10Base5 and 10Base2 Ethernet; as well as FDDI for
either multi-mode fiber, or for greater distances, single mode fiber.

The PowerHub 7000 13x1 Fast Ethernet module is priced at $7,600. Prices for
the three Fast Ethernet Media Adapters are: 100BaseTX, $225; 100BaseFX,
$490; or 100BaseT4, $225. All products are expected to ship in June. To
