Sierra Wireless Reports Second Quarter 2003 Results
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 17, 2003 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) -- Sierra
Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR, TSX: SW) is reporting better than expected second
quarter results, including revenue of $20.7 million, net earnings of $0.9
million and positive cash flow.
"We are pleased to report that, for the fourth quarter in a row, we grew
revenues over the comparable quarter, were profitable and generated positive
cash flow. The AirCard product line and sales in the United States, Europe and
the Asia-Pacific region each contributed significantly during the second
quarter", said David Sutcliffe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking
ahead, we plan to complete the AirPrime acquisition and business integration. We
expect overall economic and industry conditions to continue to be challenging.
Our business operating premise is profitable growth and our priorities remain
expansion of our distribution channels, sell through to end customers and
investment in new products for future growth."
Our results are reported in US dollars and are prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles. During the second
quarter of 2003, we received and recorded an unexpected additional recovery of
$0.3 million from Metricom. During the second quarter of 2002, we recorded
restructuring and other charges of $36.1 million. Our results, where described
as adjusted, exclude these amounts.
Results for the second quarter of 2003, relative to company guidance provided on
April 24, 2003:
Second quarter revenue for 2003 of $20.7 million was better than our guidance
range of $19.0 to $20.0 million. Gross margin was 40.3%, better than our
guidance of approximately 39.0%. Our adjusted operating expenses were $7.8
million, higher than our guidance range of $7.4 to $7.6 million. Our adjusted
net earnings of $0.6 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.04, were
better than our net earnings guidance range of $0.1 to $0.3 million, or diluted
earnings per share of $0.01 to $0.02. We had a positive cash flow of $0.5
million that was better than our guidance of neutral cash flow.
Results for the second quarter of 2003, compared to the second quarter of 2002:
Our revenue for the second quarter of 2003 increased by 22.4% to $20.7 million
from $16.9 million for the same period in 2002. Adjusted gross margin improved
to 40.3% from 37.1%. Adjusted operating expenses declined to $7.8 million from
$10.0 million. Second quarter adjusted earnings for 2003 increased to $0.6
million or diluted earnings per share of $0.04, compared to an adjusted loss of
$3.0 million or loss per share of $0.18.
Results for the second quarter of 2003, compared to the first quarter of 2003:
Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $20.7 million,
compared to $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2003, an increase of 2.8%.
Gross margins were $8.3 million or 40.3% in the second quarter of 2003, compared
to $7.9 million or 39.5% in the first quarter of 2003. Our gross margin
percentage improved compared to the previous quarter due to a greater percentage
of sales coming from our 2.5G AirCard products as well as product cost
reduction.
Adjusted operating expenses were $7.8 million, compared to $7.6 million in the
previous quarter. This increase is a result of decreased funding from our
research and development funding agreements compared to the previous quarter.
Our gross research and development investments were $3.1 million in both
quarters.
Our adjusted net earnings were $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2003, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Our
adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.04 for the second quarter of 2003,
compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for first quarter of 2003.
Acquisition of AirPrime, Inc.
On June 16, 2003, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire AirPrime, Inc.,
a privately-held, leading supplier of high-speed CDMA wireless products located
in Carlsbad, California. The combined entity is expected to be a well-positioned
market leader with a broad product line, innovative engineering, blue chip
customers, global channels and a strong balance sheet. We expect the combination
to close during August.
Changes to Supply Chain
During the quarter, we implemented significant changes to our supply chain.
These included the transfer of global fulfillment and CDMA product manufacturing
to Flextronics. By using their fully integrated supply chain services, we expect
to reduce product costs, improve alignment with our increasingly international
customer base and achieve increased operating efficiencies and scalability. We
expect to purchase finished goods closer to the time of shipment to our
customers, reducing our working capital requirements associated with carrying
inventory.
Previously, fulfillment services were provided by Globalware while CDMA
production was handled by SCI-Sanmina. We continue to have GSM production at
Solectron and CDPD and specialty production at Creation Technologies.
Second Quarter Highlights Included:
- We signed a distribution agreement with Panasonic Canada Inc, a division of
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan, one of the world's largest
producers of electronics and electric products for consumer, business and
industrial use. Under the agreement, Panasonic will distribute our next
generation product line, including CDMA2000 1X and GSM/GPRS products, through
its value added reseller channels in Canada.
- Together with Citrix Systems, Inc. and Zumasys, Inc., we announced that
Momentum Group, a leading supplier of contract textiles, has equipped its North
American sales force with a complete mobile solution that included Panasonic
Toughbooks, Citrix MetaFrame XP(TM) Presentation Server and the Sierra Wireless
AirCard(R) 550 and AirCard 555. This new implementation gives Momentum's sales
representatives wireless access to critical business applications, improving
response time and overall customer satisfaction.
- Together with IBM, we announced a bundled wireless solution using the Sierra
Wireless AirCard 750, a wireless wide area network PC Card, combined with the
IBM ThinkPad T40 notebook series, a high-end notebook computer with built in
wireless local area network functionality. IBM chose the AirCard specifically
for its high performance wide area wireless capabilities and for its ability to
enhance an end-to-end mobile solution.
- We announced the commercial availability of the MP 750, the first of our next
generation MP ruggedized wireless modems, across North America and Europe. The
next generation MP Series, built for extreme environments and industries that
require an in-vehicle mobile solution, will include both the MP 750 for GSM/GPRS
networks, and the MP 555 for CDMA2000 1X networks. The MP 555 is expected to be
launched later this year.
- We announced that the Mesquite Police Department in Texas is the first police
force in North America to implement the MP 750 to protect its community while
patrolling over 377 miles of arterial and residential streets. The next
generation wireless data solution was chosen specifically for its unique
security features and its ability to provide faster access to mission critical
information.
- We appointed Charles E. Levine, formerly of Sprint PCS, to our Board of
Directors. Mr. Levine has more than 25 years of experience in building
businesses for some of North America's largest companies. Mr. Levine's expertise
in business strategy, marketing and sales will be invaluable to our team.
Voluntary Option Surrender Initiative
During the second quarter, we instituted and completed a voluntary Employee
Stock Option Plan ("ESOP") surrender initiative. The objective of the ESOP is to
enable us to recruit, retain and motivate participants to increase the value of
our company on a sustainable basis. The objectives of the ESOP surrender
initiative are to have deeply "under water" stock options returned to the pool
now, rather than having them expire unexercised some time in the future, and to
enable us to operate the ESOP within the existing number of options that have
already been approved by shareholders. Surrenders by employees, officers and
directors were voluntary. The company had approximately 3.2 million net options
authorized, with 2.5 million issued and 0.7 million available for issuance.
Options with an exercise price below Cdn$20.00 were not eligible for surrender.
Of the 2.5 million issued, there were approximately 1.0 million eligible for
surrender. Of the eligible options, approximately 0.7 million were surrendered,
with exercise prices ranging from Cdn.$20.46 to Cdn.$212.00.
We do not intend to reprice existing options, either immediately or through a
short-term re-issuance of the surrendered options. ESOP participants who
surrendered options are "at risk" through the loss of the vesting associated
with those options and through the uncertainty as to availability, quantity,
timing and exercise price of future grants. Directors, including David
Sutcliffe, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, are ineligible to
receive any future recognition for their participation in the surrender program.
We expect over time to reduce the size of the ESOP as a percentage of issued and
outstanding shares.
Financial Guidance
For the third and fourth quarters ending September 30, 2003 and December 31,
2003, respectively, we are providing the following guidance reflecting our
current business indicators and expectations. Inherent in this guidance is
higher than normal risk resulting from uncertainty associated with the
acquisition of AirPrime, the timing of volume shipments to channels and with the
rate of end customer adoption of newer products. All figures are estimates and
are approximations.
This guidance reflects a planning assumption that the company will commence
consolidating financial results with AirPrime on September 1st, 2003. We expect
to incur AirPrime related restructuring costs in Q3 2003 and integration costs
in both Q3 and Q4 2003. In both quarters, we expect to be profitable, excluding
the restructuring and integration costs. We expect integration activities and
costs to be substantially completed by year-end.

Management Retirement
Peter Roberts, CFO, has determined that he will be retiring from the company in
February, 2004. To allow for an orderly transition, the company has engaged Korn
Ferry to assist with the executive search for his replacement. Mr. Roberts
joined Sierra Wireless in January, 1999 and has been instrumental in helping the
company become a leading wireless solutions company.

China Unicom to Deploy Alvarion Broadband Wireless Solutions in Seven Chinese Cities; Secured Through Alvarion's Partners Datang and BISC
WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 2003 7:02 AM
- BusinessWire
TEL AVIV, Israel, Jul 23, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Alvarion Ltd. (ALVR) , the leading provider of wireless broadband solutions worldwide, today announced that its market-leading wireless broadband solutions have been selected by China Unicom Ltd. (CHU) , a large telecom operator and the second largest cellular communications operator in China, as the basis for high-performance Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks to be deployed in seven Chinese cities by Alvarion's local partners Datang and BISC.
China Unicom found Alvarion's WALKair(TM) 1000 Broadband Multiservice Platform to be perfectly-suited for the demands of its UniONE broadband service since the WALKair(TM) supports TDM legacy voice, data and multimedia services including videoconferencing. Due to the sheer size of the Chinese market, these installations have the potential of being one of the largest BWA deployments in the world
"China has long represented a significant potential opportunity for Alvarion. Now, as Broadband momentum within the region grows, the importance of Chinese market for Alvarion grows as well," said Zvi Slonimsky, CEO of Alvarion. "The selection of our solutions over those of our competitors is an important validation of our technology. Having won tenders with China's two largest mobile operators, we have established clear leadership in this strategic market and, through our excellent partnerships we are well-positioned to expand our presence throughout the region."
China Unicom is the second largest mobile carrier in China. Recognizing the potential to leverage its vast operations as a base for launching complementary Broadband Internet Access services, China Unicom secured licenses to operate 3.5GHz networks across the country, and initiated a vendor selection process. After extensive technical evaluations and negotiations, China Unicom selected Alvarion-based solutions for BWA network deployments in seven different cities of Tianjin, Xining, Huhehaote, Nanning, Dalian, Changsha, and Zhengzhou.
"Like so many developing regions in the world, China lacks the wireline infrastructure needed to meet the growing demand for Broadband," continued Mr. Slonimsky. "Economical and easy to install, BWA is the ideal high-performance solution to address the needs of these regions. Deployment is particularly inexpensive for mobile carriers, who use existing cellular towers as a platform for BWA base stations. This makes it extremely cost-effective for them to launch revenue-generating Internet access services.
"We believe that BWA can become an important part of China's evolving broadband infrastructure. With the right solutions, proven partners, and established market leadership, we believe that China will become a major driver of Alvarion's future growth."

China Unicom to Deploy Alvarion Broadband Wireless Solutions in Seven Chinese Cities; Secured Through Alvarion's Partners Datang and BISC
WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 2003 7:02 AM
- BusinessWire
TEL AVIV, Israel, Jul 23, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Alvarion Ltd. (ALVR) , the leading provider of wireless broadband solutions worldwide, today announced that its market-leading wireless broadband solutions have been selected by China Unicom Ltd. (CHU) , a large telecom operator and the second largest cellular communications operator in China, as the basis for high-performance Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks to be deployed in seven Chinese cities by Alvarion's local partners Datang and BISC.
China Unicom found Alvarion's WALKair(TM) 1000 Broadband Multiservice Platform to be perfectly-suited for the demands of its UniONE broadband service since the WALKair(TM) supports TDM legacy voice, data and multimedia services including videoconferencing. Due to the sheer size of the Chinese market, these installations have the potential of being one of the largest BWA deployments in the world
"China has long represented a significant potential opportunity for Alvarion. Now, as Broadband momentum within the region grows, the importance of Chinese market for Alvarion grows as well," said Zvi Slonimsky, CEO of Alvarion. "The selection of our solutions over those of our competitors is an important validation of our technology. Having won tenders with China's two largest mobile operators, we have established clear leadership in this strategic market and, through our excellent partnerships we are well-positioned to expand our presence throughout the region."
China Unicom is the second largest mobile carrier in China. Recognizing the potential to leverage its vast operations as a base for launching complementary Broadband Internet Access services, China Unicom secured licenses to operate 3.5GHz networks across the country, and initiated a vendor selection process. After extensive technical evaluations and negotiations, China Unicom selected Alvarion-based solutions for BWA network deployments in seven different cities of Tianjin, Xining, Huhehaote, Nanning, Dalian, Changsha, and Zhengzhou.
"Like so many developing regions in the world, China lacks the wireline infrastructure needed to meet the growing demand for Broadband," continued Mr. Slonimsky. "Economical and easy to install, BWA is the ideal high-performance solution to address the needs of these regions. Deployment is particularly inexpensive for mobile carriers, who use existing cellular towers as a platform for BWA base stations. This makes it extremely cost-effective for them to launch revenue-generating Internet access services.
"We believe that BWA can become an important part of China's evolving broadband infrastructure. With the right solutions, proven partners, and established market leadership, we believe that China will become a major driver of Alvarion's future growth."

Sierra Wireless Launches the MP 555 GPS Rugged
Wireless Modem and Signs on First North American
Customer
Tuesday September 9, 9:30 am ET
The Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) is the first police department to
implement the MP GPS 555 for CDMA2000 1X networks to improve
officer safety and enhance policing capabilities
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 2003-- Sierra Wireless
(NASDAQ: SWIR - News; TSX: SW - News) announced today the commercial availability of the
MP 555 GPS rugged wireless modem, the second product available in Sierra Wireless's next
generation MP Series. In addition, the company also announced the first North American
implementation of the new MP 555 GPS with the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) in Canada.
The O.P.P. chose the MP 555 GPS high-speed wireless solution to enhance communication
while performing a variety of law enforcement duties including international border enforcement,
emergency response, traffic enforcement, and criminal investigation across the province of
Ontario. By outfitting its patrol cars with a new wireless system that combines the MP 555
GPS wireless modem and Panasonic Toughbook notebook computers, officers will now have
the ability to access provincial and national databases and improve the efficiency of the
dispatch and arrest process. Additionally, the MP 555 GPS rugged wireless modem provides
the enhanced network speed needed to download images and files from police databases in a
matter of seconds to an officer's patrol car ensuring fast wireless access to critical information
while officers patrol a wide range of geographies.
"This Sierra Wireless and Panasonic combination provides law enforcement professionals with
the information they need to get the job done quickly - no matter where they're located," said
Thom Leiper, National Sales and Marketing Manager, Panasonic Canada Inc. "By
implementing this new mobile system, officers can now improve emergency responsiveness,
officer and public safety, and front-line policing capabilities all of which are critical priorities for
the O.P.P."
In addition to providing police officers with timely access to mission critical information, the new
wireless solution also increases officer safety with the addition of a Global Positioning System
(GPS). The GPS capability provides officers and dispatchers with accurate location reporting.
"Today's public safety professionals can benefit from new wireless technologies that offer higher
speeds and enhanced solutions that are designed to deliver critical data to the officer faster,"
said Jason Cohenour, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales for Sierra Wireless. "Sierra
Wireless has a solid track record of providing mobile solutions to the public safety market and
we are proud to continue this tradition with the new MP 555 GPS rugged wireless modem.
Customers like the O.P.P. are turning to our new wireless solutions that are built to deliver
powerful results and withstand the wear and tear of daily operations in the field."
The Sierra Wireless MP Series is designed to operate in extreme temperatures and meets US
Military and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) specifications for vibration, shock, and
humidity. Currently, the MP 555 GPS for CDMA2000 1X networks is available in Canada and is
expected to launch in the United States in the Fall of 2003.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 2003-- Sierra Wireless
(NASDAQ: SWIR - News; TSX: SW - News) announced today the commercial availability of the
MP 555 GPS rugged wireless modem, the second product available in Sierra Wireless's next
generation MP Series. In addition, the company also announced the first North American
implementation of the new MP 555 GPS with the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) in Canada.
The O.P.P. chose the MP 555 GPS high-speed wireless solution to enhance communication
while performing a variety of law enforcement duties including international border enforcement,
emergency response, traffic enforcement, and criminal investigation across the province of
Ontario. By outfitting its patrol cars with a new wireless system that combines the MP 555
GPS wireless modem and Panasonic Toughbook notebook computers, officers will now have
the ability to access provincial and national databases and improve the efficiency of the
dispatch and arrest process. Additionally, the MP 555 GPS rugged wireless modem provides
the enhanced network speed needed to download images and files from police databases in a
matter of seconds to an officer's patrol car ensuring fast wireless access to critical information
while officers patrol a wide range of geographies.
"This Sierra Wireless and Panasonic combination provides law enforcement professionals with
the information they need to get the job done quickly - no matter where they're located," said
Thom Leiper, National Sales and Marketing Manager, Panasonic Canada Inc. "By
implementing this new mobile system, officers can now improve emergency responsiveness,
officer and public safety, and front-line policing capabilities all of which are critical priorities for
the O.P.P."
In addition to providing police officers with timely access to mission critical information, the new
wireless solution also increases officer safety with the addition of a Global Positioning System
(GPS). The GPS capability provides officers and dispatchers with accurate location reporting.
"Today's public safety professionals can benefit from new wireless technologies that offer higher
speeds and enhanced solutions that are designed to deliver critical data to the officer faster,"
said Jason Cohenour, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales for Sierra Wireless. "Sierra
Wireless has a solid track record of providing mobile solutions to the public safety market and
we are proud to continue this tradition with the new MP 555 GPS rugged wireless modem.
Customers like the O.P.P. are turning to our new wireless solutions that are built to deliver
powerful results and withstand the wear and tear of daily operations in the field."
The Sierra Wireless MP Series is designed to operate in extreme temperatures and meets US
Military and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) specifications for vibration, shock, and
humidity. Currently, the MP 555 GPS for CDMA2000 1X networks is available in Canada and is
expected to launch in the United States in the Fall of 2003.

Koala Inks Agreement to Form Business Development and Management Alliance with Digi Link Technologies
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Sep 11, 2003 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) -- Koala International
Wireless, Inc. (OTCBB: KIWI), a leader in the development of web-based, wireless
network applications and wireless device development, announced today that it
has entered into an memo of understanding with Digi Link Technologies, Inc. (OTC
symbol: DGLT) to form a cooperative business development and management alliance
("Agreement"). Final terms of the Agreement are subject to the satisfactory
outcome of due diligence conducted by both DGLT and KIWI of each other's
material representations as well as approval by each Company's respective Board
of Directors.
KIWI intends to provide development and technical services to DGLT as well as
provide additional resources which may include, but will not be limited to,
financial and operational management support and regular and customary
consulting services as may be required. The parties intend to cooperate in
determining the best methods of exploitation and marketing of the assets as well
as to establish the managerial duties and responsibilities for the day-to-day
operation(s). KIWI will evaluate DGLT's current business model and assist with
identifying synergistic business opportunities, evaluate alternate uses of
corporate assets, act as advisors to DGLT in the exploration and evaluation of
strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value including the formation of a
third party business combination or the sale of all or certain assets of DGLT.In
addition, KIWI will attempt to explore the possible utilization of combining the
use of its own proprietary prototype communication device(s) in combination with
the DGLT spectrum and frequency assets.
Hal Fischer, Koala's CEO stated, "This alliance will further position KIWI as a
bona fide transport vehicle for data and voice in the USA and will add another
more cost effective transmission method for Koala's device users contemplated in
the world's largest data and voice market."
To date, DGLT's business involved the consolidation of entities engaged in the
management or development of Specialized Mobil Radio ("SMR") 220Mhz
communication systems. By networking these formally independently owned systems,
management envisioned the potential development of a seamless, cost effective,
value-added telecommunications voice and data system throughout North America.
Peter Jegou, President and CEO of DGLT stated, "The Company has recently changed
it's business focus and is currently entertaining a number of different
proposals. This contemplated alliance represents a very positive step toward
developing new strategies and alternatives to collectively enhance shareholder
value."
Koala is developing an International Mobile Virtual Network Operator (IMVNO)
platform to allow the delivery of voice, data and Short Messaging over multiple
networks. Concurrent with the IMVNO development, Koala is pursuing the
development of applicable devices to serve the network subscribers. The IMVNO
strategy will enable subscribers to access the Internet, play and store MP3,
utilize existing applications including calendaring, contact management systems,
email and Short Messaging and additional functionality, some not currently
available in the marketplace.
This material includes forward-looking statements based on management's current
reasonable business expectations. In this document, the words "can,"
"anticipates," and similar expressions identify certain forward-looking
statements. These statements are made in reliance on the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act, Section 27A of the Securities act of 1933, as amended.
There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could result in actual results
differing materially from expected outcomes. The material should be read in
conjunction with the Company's current annual and quarterly reports filed with
the SEC, which contain discussions of currently known factors that could
significantly impact the Company's future expectations.

DPAC Technologies Captures Three More Design Wins for Airborne Wireless Module
GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Dec 9, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
-- Building Controls OEM Will Include Airborne 802.11b Module for
WiFi Environmental Control System
-- Warehouse Management Systems Manufacturer Chooses Airborne
802.11b Module to Replace Older Wireless Technology
-- Transportation Communications OEM Adds Airborne 802.11b Module
to Global Positioning System
Market acceptance and penetration efforts continue as DPAC Technologies(R)
(NASDAQ: DPAC) announces three more design wins today for the new line of 802.11b
wireless modules called Airborne(TM). The first of these is an application of
wireless 802.11b technology into the environmental controls (called "HVAC")
systems used in commercial buildings; the second is an industrial application
for a logistics and warehouse management system requiring a replacement to
existing wireless technology; and the third is in the rapidly evolving market
for transportation communications.
"Our continued success, and these new design wins, indicates that our focus in
multiple targeted vertical markets is clearly the right strategy," said Brett
Trowbridge, vice president for DPAC Technologies. "We are pleased to have the
opportunity to work with all of these customers to provide a wireless solution
that is rich and unique to their respective applications. These markets provide
significant opportunities for the Airborne product that DPAC will continue to
pursue aggressively."
Building Controls Industry Need for Wireless Capabilities
Building controls and control systems, such as Heating, Ventilation, Air
Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC) systems are used in everything from
semiconductor clean rooms to keeping vaccines fresh and safe. Currently these
systems may or may not be wired into a central network that monitors
environmental conditions, maintenance needs, or equipment conditions.
In commercial buildings a facilities manager must contact equipment suppliers or
technicians to diagnose system problems, often causing delays and requiring
costly on-site inspections by a repair crew just to understand the problem. An
Airborne module would allow equipment suppliers and technicians to read system
data from remote locations via the Internet. This would enable them to diagnose
problems and order replacement parts ahead of time, or potentially fix problems
without having to deploy a repair crew at all.
Warehouse Management Systems Need for Wireless Capabilities
Data acquisition, process controls, and sensor industrial control equipment all
work to help streamline and improve productivity in material handling facilities
and warehouse management systems. Currently this type of equipment may or may
not be wired into a central network that monitors productivity, maintenance
needs and equipment conditions.
An Airborne module embedded into mobile equipment, such as a forklift, allows
that equipment to be located, scheduled, and monitored for wear or maintenance
requirements. Productivity of a warehouse floor and safety of operators can be
significantly improved when data is shared and easily monitored.
Transportation Industry Need for Wireless Capabilities
Transportation companies that manage large fleets of tractor-trailer rigs have a
constant requirement to manage costs and keep their fleets running by tracking
maintenance and repair records, fuel usage, mileage logs, and scheduling
information. Customers are increasingly expecting transportation companies to
supply accurate, real-time data about their shipments, including a log of the
environmental conditions of the cargo during transportation.
Transportation applications that are suitable to integrate an Airborne module
include: Fleet management systems, weigh stations, route/shipment scheduling,
automotive diagnostics, refrigerated units, and vehicle movement/tracking.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec 09, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via Comtex/ -- Vyyo Inc. (VYYO) , a global supplier of wireless broadband end-to-end solutions for wireless telephony and high-speed data connections, today announced that Shanghai Mobile Communications Co., a subsidiary of China Mobile, has selected Vyyo for the deployment of its broadband wireless access (BWA) solutions in Shanghai. Vyyo's system integrator and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Shanghai Datang Mobile Communications Equipment Co., Ltd. secured the deal.
Our mission is to capture the wireless solutions opportunity in China by systemically building relationships with Chinese telecommunications operators and system integrators," said Michael Corwin, president and chief operation officer of Vyyo. "These relationships prove our ability to execute on plan. As you can see, our relationship with Shanghai Datang Mobile Communications Equipment has successfully led to our contract with China Mobile."
Shanghai is one of the largest cities in China with a population of 13 million. China Mobile is the largest global system for mobile communication (GSM) operator in the world. For the Shanghai deployment, China Mobile intends to use Vyyo products to meet its cellular GSM backhaul and Wi-Fi hotspot backhaul, as well as business class services.
Mr. Sun Yuwong, general manager of Shanghai Datang Mobile Communications Equipment, stated, "We are delighted to have developed a relationship with Vyyo. We believe Vyyo's point-to-multipoint architecture combined with its dual-bus wireless hub, which enables both high-speed data and legacy voice lines, provides effective solutions in Chinese communities that lack wireline infrastructure. We are working closely with China Mobile on the successful deployment of Vyyo's systems. We anticipate continuing to roll out Vyyo deployments in additional cities as licenses become available."
