SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RPTN), provider of the world's first 'distributed core' network switching equipment, announced today it has become a member company of the Chesapeake Innovation Center in Annapolis, MD.

'We are pleased to join the Chesapeake Innovation Center as a Resident Member Company,' noted Tom Wittenschlaeger, Raptor Networks Technology's Chairman and CEO. 'We look forward to benefiting from CIC's guidance in evolving Raptor Networks' products to better address the Federal Sector.'

Member Companies of the CIC are developing commercially viable technology products and services for the homeland security, communications and information technology sectors. They are generally in the start-up or early development stage, and have been selected to join the CIC because they exhibit strong business potential, sound technology that can be commercialized, and a strong management team.

'The Chesapeake Innovation Center is located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, home to the National Security Agency, Fort Meade, and some of the nation's leading defense contractors,' said John R. Leopold, Anne Arundel County Executive. 'I am delighted to welcome Raptor Networks to this fertile field of technology companies and federal government agencies.'

'The CIC has a solid base of homeland security technology innovators that is enhanced by the addition of Raptor Networks Technology,' said Robert L. Hannon, President and CEO of the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation. 'Raptor's products have the potential to help the CIC partners and their customers find solutions to pressing technology needs.'

About the Chesapeake Innovation Center

The CIC, America's first homeland and national security focused accelerator, has partnerships strategic to America's national security which include public and private sector entities. CIC sources and screens early stage technology companies and connects those that match the desired criteria to a valuable network of industry leading 'Partners' in these sectors. Current Partners include Northrop Grumman Corporation, The Boeing Company, the National Security Agency, ARINC, Next Century Corporation and Athlone Global Security.

Partners engage CIC to keep them informed of innovation in its network of technology communities. CIC's network of national and international communities are generally at the leading edge of technology and include venture capitalists, federal labs, universities, entrepreneurs, corporations, incubators and other technology hotspots that may not be in the Partners' network. Partners engage the CIC to scout for a particular technology solution to address a mission critical or highly visible problem as well as provide us a basic shopping list to continually scan the marketplace for. CIC Partners objectives are typically to find a technology to acquire, invest in, team with and/or implement within their own enterprise.

The CIC recruits companies with proprietary innovative technology, strong management teams, and homeland/national security market focus. During the program's member selection process, each applicant is thoroughly evaluated for its business potential, technical merit and commercial viability, ability to leverage CIC offerings, and the CIC Partner channel.
