Lattice's Aquifer 6.5 Application Framework to Power Peace Corps Distributed Computer Network Worldwide

PENNSAUKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lattice Incorporated (OTC: LTTC.OB) (“Lattice” or the “Company”), a provider of advanced information and communications technology solutions to key government agencies and enterprise customers, today announced that Peace Corps has selected Aquifer version 6.5 to develop and deploy its Volunteer Information Database Application (VIDA 2.0), with worldwide release scheduled for the first quarter of 2008.

Lattice’s Aquifer 6.5 Application Framework is a highly secure, managed suite of Web services for developing, deploying, and maintaining smart client applications across the wide area network, and includes advanced features for remote management of disconnected Aquifer servers as well as several security enhancements. Aquifer 6.5 allows applications to be widely distributed for operational use and synchronized with a centralized Aquifer server for headquarters consolidation, allowing the central office to assert configuration management control over the distributed environment.

VIDA 2.0 is used at remote locations worldwide to manage logistical information. Aquifer is used to distribute system components and data to field units.

“We built the new version of the Peace Corps Volunteer Information Database Application (VIDA) using version 6.5 of the Aquifer Application Framework,” said Mr. Mark Behuncik, VIDA Project Manager/IT Specialist with Peace Corps. “Configuration management is very important to Peace Corps, and Aquifer will allow us to easily manage the release of new components to over 70 posts worldwide, putting us years ahead of where we would otherwise be without this technology.”

"We are extremely pleased that the Peace Corps has selected Aquifer 6.5 to power its distributed computer network worldwide,” said Paul Burgess, Lattice’s Chief Executive Officer. “This reinforces our commitment to push the boundaries of innovation to offer our clients best in class solutions to enable the vision of Net Centric computing by leveraging the entire network down to the edge device using an advanced, layered security model to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of components and data throughout the network.”

Aquifer will also be used to develop, host, and manage several additional applications, using .NET as the development platform. The rich, managed security features built into the framework allow Peace Corps to simplify the accreditation process, relying on the repeatability of the layered security model built into the Aquifer infrastructure.
