SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE--Sept. 13, 1999-- World Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTC BB: WWWC), a leading

The 900 MicroPulse will be incorporated into the REDEEM(TM) system from Health Sense. The radios will transmit data from

''The 900 MicroPulse will drastically improve the way health care facilities treat incontinence,'' said Bob Oosdyke, president of
Health Sense Inc. ''The World Wireless radio gives us the ability to transmit information quickly and easily without the cost of
hard wiring.''
Specifically designed for manufacturers who want to incorporate wireless technology into their products, the 900 MicroPulse is
battery powered and transmits data up to 300 feet. Other applications of the 900 MicroPulse include sensor monitoring and control,
security systems, inventory controls, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls and agriculture controls.
The radio also comes with a complete set of software tools to speed integration.
''Our 900 MicroPulse is helping to pave the way for new applications of wireless technology in the healthcare industry,'' said
David Singer, president and chief executive officer, World Wireless. ''The radio is simple to integrate and has a low power
consumption - ideal for companies like Health Sense who want to quickly incorporate wireless technology into their products.''
