IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 7, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix, Inc. (Nasdaq:LTRX) today announced that its UDS1100 and SecureBox(r) SDS1101 serial-to-Ethernet networking solutions are UL (Underwriters Laboratories) 864 Listed, which validates the products meet the newest UL 864 9th Edition standards. Significantly, this listing allows manufacturers to simply add networking capabilities to their existing UL 864-listed products without the need to reapply to UL.
"Traditionally, the physical security market has been an early adopter of networking technology. By offering the UL 864 Listing on one of the industry's best selling serial-to-Ethernet products, we are able to help manufacturers bring the benefits of networking to more of their customers," said Peggy Yoshino, director of product marketing for Lantronix. "This certification enables manufacturers to quickly add Lantronix serial-to-Ethernet technology to their products without the need to go through an expensive and time consuming re-Listing process with UL. Moreover, with SecureBox's built-in Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) certification for data security, we are also able to expand our reach to a wider range of critical applications such as alarming for police stations or federal buildings."
"UL 864 listing is a must for our fire-alarm panel equipment," said Jay Levy, Regional Sales Manager of Hochiki America Corporation, a manufacturer of high-quality fire protection equipment products. "Lantronix has been a great partner and worked with us to get the UL listing we needed to be competitive. Now our customers can network up to 64 fire alarm control panels, which allows them to utilize their existing TCP/IP infrastructure and provides them a huge cost savings over other connection methods."

SecureBox is ideal for commercial applications where secure data communications and network security are essential.
