"The results of the second full quarter since the release of MobiKEY
validates the Company's go-to-market strategy and are reflective of this early
selling stage", said Andrew White, CEO, Route1. "A number of the units sold in
the second quarter were within large corporate accounts with the anticipation
of significant growth to the MobiNET subscriber base. As we continue to grow
our sales and distribution channels and gain exposure into more and more
accounts, it is evident that MobiKEY, powered by MobiNET, gives Route1 a clear
competitive advantage. By providing secure identity management, MobiKEY
delivers more than an easy-to-use remote computing solution; it supports
emergency preparedness/disaster recovery, business continuity, and
regulatory/corporate compliance needs."
