There's news out today for Statrigenet, here it is.
AN 2001 ARYN'S CLIENT StrategiNet To Use Cisco Systems to Deploy Nationwide Retail
Network.
West Palm Beach, FL. - January 9, 2001 -- (Business Wire) -- StrategiNet, Inc. (SGNE), a
national provider of high-speed network solutions aimed at the retail community announced
today that they have expanded their relationship with Synergyx..net and Cisco Systems with a
new two-year, $25M dollar contract. Cisco's Professional Services Group will provide overall
project management including design, site survey, staging and installation. Cisco's routers,
wireless bridges, access points and switches will power StrategiNet's high-speed data
network. StrategiNet selected Synergyx.net (www.synergyx.net), a Cisco Systems Premier
Certified Solutions Provider, as their preferred integrator because of Synergyx.net's broad
experience in the network service provider marketplace.

Based on proven ATM and Frame Relay facilities, StrategiNet offers shared
telecommunications services to the retail industry through it's StrategiPort product offering.
StrategiPort will allow retailers who have traditionally utilized a dial technology to realize greater
data communications capabilities between headquarters and individual retail store locations via
an "always on" network. By providing a means for retailers to share common infrastructure,
these services can be provided at a fraction of the cost of a retailer implementing a stand-alone
network. Capabilities such as polling of sales information, faster credit and check processing
along with up to the minute inventory and product management will be delivered via this
network. StrategiNet has based their network design on an end-to-end Cisco Systems
infrastructure and have therefore qualified to receive the Cisco Powered Network designation.

"Cisco Systems is the premier provider of networking equipment in the world, and we are proud
to be associated with a company of this stature. They have demonstrated their belief in our
concept and vision, and will be a significant factor in our successes. Synergyx.net's project
management and integration ability ensures that our retail customers enjoy a smooth migration
to the StrategiPort network," said Shahid Quraeshi, President and CEO of StrategiNet. Ed
Minyard, StrategiNet's Chief Operating Officer added, "Our team at Cisco Systems and
Syerngyx.net have been very proactive in supporting our plans and we look forward to a long
and mutually beneficial strategic relationship with both corporations."

Cas Skrzypczak, Sr. vice president and general manager of Service Provider Business Group
for Cisco Systems said: "StrategiNet has designed a network based on the future of
telecommunications technology. By driving fiber optic technology down to the end-user level,
StrategiNet is providing their subscribers with a high speed secure network designed to support
advanced applications. This optical networking approach will allow for seamless integration to
tomorrow's optic based wide area networking solutions. In the retail industry, the IP applications
that are being deployed require flexible, expandable network architecture for integration into the
traditional brick-and-mortar environment. The Cisco solutions being deployed by StrategiNet
provide an expandable, secure network path for the retail industry."

Retex, the nation's largest retail technology consortium with 2,300 member companies
including The Gap, General Nutrition Centers, and Toys R Us, appreciates the value of the
StrategiNet model. "StrategiNet's management team, all former retailers, have a clear
understanding of the technology and business issues facing the retail industry. Their optical
networking approach ensures future growth potential, while at the same time providing for
affordable dedicated connectivity today," says Charles Presti, vice president of Business
Development. "For these reasons, our Board of Directors have selected StrategiNet as our
exclusive partner for Shared Frame Relay services."

StrategiNet (www.strateginet.com) was founded in 1998 by nationally recognized retail and
telecommunications professionals. StrategiNet offers a solid understanding of the
communications challenges facing the retail environment. Their offerings include managed
wide area networking products and services including StrategiPort(r) a Shared Frame Relay
product offering, as well as dedicated and Internet based networking services and solutions.
The network is engineered to support point of sale and polling, as well as client-server
computing, thin client computing, JAVA-enabled computing and LAN-to-LAN connectivity.

Synergyx.net (Hollywood, FL.) is a leading IP (Internet Protocol) systems integrator.
Synergyx.net has been at the forefront of IP solutions such as VoIP (Voice over IP) and
wireless IP applications.
