ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2002--Flarion
Technologies, the architect of flash-OFDM(tm) mobile broadband network
technology using the industry-standard Internet Protocol (IP), today
demonstrated the future of mobile broadband during the opening keynote

local area network with no interruption to her broadband streaming
session as she moved throughout the facility.
"Today, we showed the world that mobile broadband is a reality,"
said Flarion Technologies' CEO, Ray Dolan. "With our keynote
demonstration of always-on mobile broadband, we unwired the entire
Internet without any change to protocols, applications, devices, or
content. The Flarion system enables wireless operators to provide
mobile broadband Internet access to business users and consumers at
mass market prices while realizing profit margins of 40%."
"We were pleased to debut Flarion's technology to deliver
ubiquitous broadband to mobile users, seamlessly across networks,"
said Tom Wheeler, President and CEO of CTIA. "Flarion's demo
established that WiFi and traditional wireless services are adjuncts
that can exist and succeed together."
