PHOENIX -- iLinc to Connect More Than 8,000 Guardian Employees, Representatives, and Agencies Nationwide

iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of one of the most feature-rich and secure integrated Web and audio conferencing solutions available, today announced that it has been selected by The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, the nation's fourth largest mutual life insurance company, to provide Web conferencing for its 5,500 employees and 2,800 financial representatives in 94 agencies nationwide.

iLinc was chosen by Guardian after an extensive vendor selection process for its secure, feature-rich solution with the most attractive "total cost of ownership" scenario. iLinc is the first Web conferencing company to offer the unique combination of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as part of a solution that can reside inside of an organization's network. This combination provides end-to-end security for all data, video, and voice-over-IP exchanged within an online meeting.

Organizations needing to standardize on a Web conferencing solution to support diverse needs typically choose iLinc to provide a cost-effective and turnkey single source. iLinc provides a standardized enterprise Web solution that maps to the ways businesses collaborate online -- whether it is for training, product demonstrations, customer support, or Web casts. And, importantly, iLinc offers the security and control of software that resides inside an organization's network, without the burden and expense of a complex implementation.

"Organizations familiar with iLinc's Web conferencing and collaboration are recognizing the need to standardize on one secure and integrated Web and audio conferencing solution," said James M. Powers, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications. "This is particularly true in the financial services industry, where secure communications is critical. We're pleased that our unique combination of an installed solution with both AES and SSL has met Guardian's high standards."

Guardian joins a list of financial services companies that have chosen iLinc, including JPMorgan Chase, Aetna, Travelers Insurance, and CitiGroup. iLinc focuses on industries that demand secure, consistent, scalable, and manageable enterprise Web conferencing and collaboration, including high-tech, financial services, and professional services communities.
