BURNABY, B.C., January 2, 2007 - Icron Technologies Corporation (TSX Venture: IT), the developers of ExtremeUSB®, announced today that Fujitsu Component Ltd. has licensed Icron’s ExtremeUSB Core for Fujitsu Component’s next generation KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extension products.

“Icron is excited to extend an ExtremeUSB license to Fujitsu Component and to provide the core for USB connectivity on Fujitsu Component’s KVM products” stated Robert Eisses, President and CEO of Icron Technologies. “ExtremeUSB easily migrates legacy PS/2 based remote desktop solutions to USB, improving and simplifying the remote computing experience.”

The integration of ExtremeUSB, a patented technology that extends the reach of wired USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 connections over various media including Cat-5 and fiber optics, enables increased flexibility and performance for Fujitsu Component’s KVM solutions. By replacing older and less flexible PS/2 connections with USB, Fujitsu Component’s KVM technology becomes compatible with the latest USB keyboard and mouse products, and can offer the full plug and play flexibility of all USB devices such as flash drives, printers and Web cams.

“ExtremeUSB enables Fujitsu Component to greatly enhance the usability of our remote computing solutions” stated Osamu Owaki, Senior Director for KVM Development at Fujitsu Component. “By providing a native USB connection that reaches up to 300 meters we can provide a flexible remote desktop solution for our customers to easily connect and disconnect a wide variety of devices from keyboards and mice to storage devices, cameras and portable electronics.”
