Nashville, Tenn., March 1, 2005 - Dunlap & Kyle, parent company of Gateway Tire Stores has selected Cybera Inc. (www.cybera.net) to replace an existing frame relay network supporting 60 locations across the Southeast and Midwest including both retail and wholesale tire distribution centers.
Dunlap & Kyle is one of the largest independent tire dealers in the United States and they credit their success to making it easier to buy from them than anyone else. As a leader in retail based technology the company selected Cybera's SmartNetwork to address the following business objectives:

• Support a customized enterprise software application incorporating Lawson Software business rules
• Deliver an affordable solution as compared to existing frame relay network configuration
• Supply secure Internet access to support an eTire application created to facilitate "real-time" inventory replenishment in the wholesale operation
• Provide a coverage area large enough to encompass the company current locations as well as future growth plans

A critical concern for Dunlap & Kyle was finding a vendor partner who could deliver proactive management that would allow the company's short handed IT staff to focus on rolling out new software applications instead of dealing with network concerns. "We didn't select SmartNetwork because it was the cheapest option-we went with Cybera's SmartNetwork because it had the bandwidth we wanted and the proactive management we needed" stated Stuart Hill, Chief Information Officer for Dunlap & Kyle.

Due to a pre-existing relationship with AT&T and BellSouth, Dunlap & Kyle considered both organizations to meet their requirements. Neither telecom provider could deliver complete coverage nor did they offer a management service that met the company's expectations. After a short pilot Dunlap & Kyle was ready to move ahead with the larger SmartNetwork roll-out.

When the first bill arrived the company was pleased to observe a 200% savings in monthly recurring charges compared to their former frame relay network while enjoying seven times the bandwidth per store.

"The SmartNetwork solution is a great fit for retailers like Dunlap & Kyle who require proactive management combined with a broadband network at an affordable price" said Cliff Duffey, Cybera's president and chief executive officer. "We appreciate the opportunity to become a trusted partner of a progressive company like Dunlap & Kyle."
