Attn: Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

Temecula, California - August 31, 2001 - AEI is very proud to announce, as of August 21st, the Company is a Sun Microsystems Strategic Developer!

As a result of this strategic alliance, we hope to accomplish three goals... First, better integrate our current Networking Products into Sun Microsystems' platforms. Second, this alliance grants us access to future developments by Sun Microsystems on their SPARC platform and Solaris operating system. Subsequently, this will give us a competitive advantage in technical capabilities over many of our competitors. And finally, from a marketing perspective, all AEI Products can now be easily found in the Sun Solutions Catalog.

Above all, our customers can be assured of platform compatibility, and rock solid driver support.
