December 14, 2006: Automatic Configuration of LAN Devices - Global IP Telecommunications Develops Novel Technology that Enables Users of All Levels to Maintain Local Area Networks

BRADFORD, PA. and SCHOEFFENGRUND, Germany, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- IPCOMSOFT announces the development of their revolutionary software: LANBOT. This new technology enables users of all levels to maintain Local Area Networks (LAN) through automatic discovery and configuration of all devices. Specifically, LANBOT paves the way for the further spread of broadband Internet access, WLAN and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology.

The new development renders fully automatic management of all devices in a LAN possible. Internet Service Providers and Original Equipment Manufacturers will be able to deliver products that configure themselves automatically. "It is exciting to work on a solution that removes the greatest barrier for growth of Internet technologies, into our homes and everyday lives," says C. B. Roellgen, CTO of IPCOMSOFT. He further points out, "Feedback from ISPs fully confirm our findings and their input has been very helpful!"
Automatic configuration of network devices like computers, routers, access points, Pocket PCs in a LAN requires interdependent computation of settings. This complex task can only be solved by a flexible and fully open object model that allows partners to modify and add device definitions.
IPCOMSOFTis currently searching for affiliates and partners to assist in the next phase of the LANBOT development. This phase consists of extending the automatic configuration capabilities to include sub-functions, which have thus far not been the object of focus.
