SALT LAKE CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 1999--X-traWeb, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of World Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTC BB:WWWC) and a manufacturer of wireless Internet communication systems, today announced that it has signed agreements for the adoption of the X-traWeb(TM) solution with two leading European providers of security systems.

Italian-based ELKRON S.p.A. has selected X-traWeb for its MP-200 security control panel.

SIRA has expanded into other European markets to capture market share in the growing market for security devices.
Both companies will retrofit their existing systems with the X-traWeb solution as well as include it on new installations. The X-traWeb system will add Internet capability to monitor and configure security systems based on these respective systems through a standard web browser from anywhere in the world.

These two European industry leaders are well qualified to evaluate technology and they chose our systems. We look forward to shipping our product before the end of 1999, followed by increasing sales to ELKRON and SIRA.''
