ITRONIX AND TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT PARTNER TO OFFER GLOBAL SERVICE AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


Partnership Provides Itronix Military Customers with Global Forward-Deployed Support; U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division is First to Benefit


SPOKANE, Wash.—June 14, 2004—Itronix Corporation, a world-class developer of wireless, rugged mobile computing systems, announced today that it has formed a strategic partnership with Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), the largest, full-service electronics maintenance organization in the Department of Defense (DoD). As a key center of the U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM), Tobyhanna is positioned to provide worldwide fixed- location and forward-deployed services and support for Itronix's DoD customers, as well as implementation and integration services. The first Itronix military customer to benefit from the Tobyhanna relationship will be the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division, which recently deployed over 2,900 Itronix GoBook®II wireless, rugged laptops, at Fort Stewart, Georgia and other classified locations outside the U.S.

"Tobyhanna's trained operations professionals will augment the capabilities of the Itronix iCare services and implementation team," said Vince Menzione, Vice President of Public Sector Sales for Itronix. "Our partnership with Tobyhanna provides our military customers with seamless integrated support. Rather than having to source their own service, support and integration contracts, Itronix and Tobyhanna provide DOD customers 'in theater' with world class service and implementation capabilities."

In addition to providing forward-deployed support capabilities, Tobyhanna is prepared to offer other 'in theater' services to Itronix military customers, including specialized, large-scale implementation and integration services, such as equipping and installing wireless, rugged mobile computing solutions on military aircrafts, helicopters and Hummers.

Unwavering Commitment to Customers
The combination of Itronix's award-winning customer service and implementation support capabilities and Tobyhanna's global forward-deployed support services provide government customers, including the Department of Defense and all U.S. military branches, with dependable, reliable service and support that translates into numerous advantages for the military, such as cost savings, quality, safety and convenience.

With over 20 fixed and forward deployed sites throughout the world and a highly trained workforce of over 3,300 personnel dedicated to supporting the warfighter, Tobyhanna will support the entire Itronix wireless, rugged product line, which includes the complete series of notebooks, tablets PCs and handhelds.
