Narus Teams with Pen-Link to Offer Industry's Most Powerful Integrated Lawful Intercept Solution

Strategic Agreement Solution Compliant with Both CALEA VoIP and ETSI Internet Access and E-mail Standards

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.- June 13, 2006 Narus, Inc. today announced a strategic agreement with Pen-Link, Ltd. to market NarusInsight™ Intercept Suite (NIS) software in conjunction with Pen-Link's LINCOLN 2 intercept collection and reporting solution. These combined best-of-breed technologies will provide an industry-proven lawful intercept solution that is fully compliant with the CALEA T1.678 VoIP standard in the United States, as well as the European ETSI TS 102 232/233/234 standards for Internet access and e-mail. Additionally, completed interoperability testing of the solution will ensure seamless integration and easy implementation for carriers - paramount as they strive to meet their respective government's regulatory requirements.

In an effort to protect public safety and ensure national security, Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) worldwide are working more closely with telecom carriers to stem malicious behavior perpetrated over electronic lines of communication. Because lawful intercept components are traditionally purchased separately and pieced together, their implementation is often complicated by interoperability issues that delay compliance and increase cost. Narus and Pen-Link have worked closely with LEAs and standard setting bodies around the world to ensure both rigorous standards compliance and seamless integration.

"Pen-Link's relationship with Narus marks both companies' continued dedication to providing the most comprehensive solution available for lawful intercept compliance," said Mike Murman, CEO of Pen-Link, Ltd. "We are keenly aware of the difficulties surrounding the implementation of lawful intercept components that do not properly adhere to regulatory standards. Both Pen-Link and Narus have tremendous experience with LEAs and standards bodies around the world. We've leveraged that wealth of experience to deliver the industry's most comprehensive end-to-end LI solution."

NarusInsight is the only carrier-class IP traffic processing system that provides the complete, real-time network visibility essential to secure, manage and deliver Services over IP (SoIP). As the foundation for the industry's most advanced IP security, intercept and traffic classification applications, NarusInsight is unique in its ability to simultaneously provide deep packet inspection from layer 3 to layer 7 and complete correlation across every link and element on the network. NarusInsight provides carriers with the flexibility and superior price performance benefits associated with deployment, either at the network edge, the high-speed core, or both simultaneously. The NarusInsight Intercept Suite allows carriers to extend their lawful intercept system; providing additional application functionality that can turn the "sunk cost" of LI into support for revenue-generating applications, such as IP security and traffic classification.

"Narus has a proven track record of delivering products to carriers and governments around the world that not only offer powerful and unique solutions, but meet the legal and regulatory requirements," said Greg Oslan, CEO of Narus. "The combination of NarusInsight and LINCOLN 2 delivers the best-of-breed solution that offers the assurance of regulatory compliance, along with the seamless integration carriers need to minimize implementation costs and maximize ROI."
