Datalink.net Awarded Patent For Real-time
Transaction Alert System
Unique Technology Turns Data into Information
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 1999--Datalink.net (OTC-BB: NETD - news), a Silicon Valley based
Internet company, announced it has been issued a patent for its Real-time Transaction Alert System, the technology powering
its popular suite of financial wireless information services.
The newly patented technology uses state-of-the-art Intelligent Agents to provide real-time information to wireless devices such
as pagers, PCS phones and wireless-enabled personal data assistants. The technology is the result of three years of research
and development that established Datalink.net as the leader in Web-to-Wireless(TM) personal information services.
''Datalink.net is pleased that the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office recognizes the strength and importance of our intellectual
property claim,'' said Anthony LaPine, Datalink.net CEO. ''The Real-time Transaction Alert technology is at the heart of our
most popular, award-winning QuoteXpress® service.'' This service tracks the latest changes in the performance of stocks, as
designated by the subscriber. ''We expect to apply the technology to other services to provide customers with
up-to-the-minute, critical information when they're mobile, such as traffic and travel information,'' LaPine added.
The proprietary technology is already revolutionizing the way people receive information. ''Instead of sorting through large
amounts of information from newspapers, broadcasts and the Internet themselves, our customers use Datalink.net's Intelligent
Agent services and have all that raw data instantly converted into useful information,'' LaPine said.
