Palo Alto, CA – April 26, 2006 – iControl Networks, Inc., a leading provider of active personal content via Web-enabled remote management services, today announced that it has secured $5 million in a Series A round. Charles River Ventures (www.crv.com) led the round, with additional funding from Intel Capital (www.intel.com).

“The proceeds from this round will help fuel our sales and channel expansion plans, fund new product development, and allow us to make additional investments in our engineering and corporate infrastructure,” said Reza Raji, president and CEO of iControl Networks. “We now believe iControl is well positioned to capitalize on the tremendous market opportunity to deliver compelling personal content via the Internet about what matters most to people – their families, property and business.”

The company’s software and services platform provides a new level of information and control over busy lifestyles. iControl’s services offer a solution for every family, and every small business. Beyond home and business use, the company’s services can be used for specialized applications — real estate and property management, energy management and elder care.

“More and more people are looking for a way to stay plugged into what's happening at their home or office when they can't be there – whether it's to watch over their children, an elderly parent, or just safeguard their property. Yet until now, the technology to do it has been too expensive and complex,” said Bruce Sachs, general partner, Charles River Ventures. “iControl removes those barriers and makes remote monitoring easy and inexpensive. Their market opportunity is tremendous, and they have the technology, know-how and people to make it happen.” Sachs will now join the iControl Board of Directors.

“Today’s increasingly mobile society is fueling the demand by consumers for innovative remote monitoring solutions” said Curt Nichols, vice president Intel Capital and managing director for the Digital Home Sector. “iControl’s products address this demand and support the emergence of remote monitoring, and the company’s direction aligns with Intel’s comprehensive Digital Home vision.”
