WildPackets Announces EtherPeek NX™ Pricing Program for EtherPeek™ Maintenance Owners

Adds New NX Gigabit, Training Bundles to Product Mix

Walnut Creek, California - December 17, 2001

WildPackets, Inc., developers of a complete family of network and Internet management tools, today announced a long-term program for EtherPeek current maintenance owners to purchase EtherPeek NX licenses at a considerable discount. EtherPeek or EtherPeek/NetSense maintenance holders will be able to purchase EtherPeek NX with one year of maintenance and save $1,000.00 off the list price. In addition, effective December 17, 2001, new EtherPeek NX product bundles will be introduced that reflect customer requests for wireless, Gigabit, and WildPackets Academy training credit elements.

"The response to EtherPeek NX has been overwhelming, from current customers participating in our special launch program as well as from new customers," says Sheri Najafi, Director of Marketing. Enterprise customers have been looking for a strong, real-time expert analyzer from a company with a solid development record and excellent support mechanisms that also has a sensible pricing structure and licensing model. EtherPeek NX licenses are sold, not rented for some finite amount of time. And the price almost guarantees an immediate return on investment the first time the software is employed."

A recent review of "Hot New Technologies" in InfoWorld stated that "EtherPeek NX is a breeze to use, and the data it can provide is astounding."
