Omicron Technologies Investors See Live
Demonstration of Interactive Radio System With
Internet Applications
BELLINGHAM, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 23, 1999--(OTC BB:OGPS - news)
''Road Test'' Shows Vehicle Tracking via Internet, E-commerce
Applications
Passing an important milestone in its development of satellite-based e-commerce and information services for vehicles, Omicron
Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:OGPS - news), announced that its Interactive Radio Corp. (IRC) subsidiary successfully
demonstrated the system's core communications and Internet capabilities to investors during the recent open house of its wholly
owned subsidiary Cyberweb Systems Inc.. The company also announced the appointment of two IRC executives in technology
and engineering.
''The demonstration was a real-time road test to show that IRC technology functions flawlessly,'' said Stephen P. Crosby,
Interactive Radio's CEO. ''We demonstrated integrated data acquisition and satellite communications capabilities that no
current technology offers, and showed how these can be used with the Internet in public safety and e-commerce applications.''
Crosby said IRC demonstrated three core capabilities of its system: using a Web site to perform real-time satellite tracking of a
moving vehicle; sending a distress call, which incorporates the vehicle's GPS location data, from a moving vehicle, via satellite,
to a monitoring station; and sending an ''order now'' message from a moving vehicle (also via satellite) to a monitoring station,
where the message includes the van's GPS location, the time, and the AM/FM radio frequency to which the car's radio is tuned
as the message is sent.
Gary Noreen, IRC Chief Technology Officer, said the demonstration ''showed the full operability of the interactive radio
system and practical uses of the technology.'' Noreen, formerly a Senior Engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
the developer of interactive radio, said that a fundamental strength of the IRC system is its use of existing telecommunications
infrastructure and standard GPS technology. ''Interactive radio is a ready-for-market technology.''
Concerning the executive appointments, Crosby said that IRC had named Mark Moeller, formerly Microsoft's development
lead on the Auto PC platform, as Vice President of Automotive Telematics. Moeller is also founder and executive manager of
AutoPCWare, an independent firm working with companies developing hardware and software products for the Auto PC
platform.
IRC also named Thomas C. Jedrey, a supervising engineer in wireless communications at the NASA JPL, as its Chief Engineer
for Product Development. Jedrey has more than 15 years' experience in satellite communications in terrestrial and space-based
systems.
Both Moeller and Jedrey had been consultants to IRC prior to their appointments with the company.
