NEWS RELEASE INFOWAVE DEMONSTRATES WAP SUPPORT FOR MICROSOFT EXCHANGE V5.5 AND EXCHANGE 2000 SERVER Infowave for Exchange to support WAP and Microsoft Microbrowser enabled wireless phones and other devices Atlanta, Georgia, October 5, 1999 - Infowave Software, Inc. (VSE: IWM) demonstrated today, at the Microsoft Exchange Conference in Atlanta, its WAP / Microbrowser capabilities which connect wireless phones and other devices to Microsoft Exchange Server. Infowave plans to include the capability in the next version of Infowave for Exchange, due to ship at the same time as the MS Exchange 2000 Server release. The new version of Infowave for Exchange is designed to support both Exchange Version v5.5 and Exchange 2000 Server including mixed v5.5/ Exchange 2000 Server environments. "Independent software vendors (ISVs) are an important part of Microsoft's wireless Exchange strategy," says Dave Malcolm, group product manager for Exchange Server at Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT). "Infowave has always been a leader in providing wireless access to the Exchange information store and we are pleased to see them taking the lead again in bringing this important Exchange content to an exciting new generation of mobile devices." The number of WAP / Microbrowser enabled devices is expected to explode in the coming years. For example, handset manufacturers representing more than 75 percent of the world market are committed to shipping WAP-enabled devices. It is estimated that there will be 10's of millions of WAP-browser-enabled products in consumer hands by the end of 2000. "We're focused on delivering the right information to the right device at the right time," says Jim McIntosh, President and CEO of Infowave. "WAP and the Microbrowser are all about mobile access to important content and there is no content that's more important than the email, calendar, contacts, and tasks in the Exchange message store. We're also very excited about Exchange 2000 Server and its potential to increase the adoption of wireless technology. With its scalability improvements, Exchange Server 2000 will help us put wireless access to Exchange into the hands of more and more mobile workers." Infowave will be demonstrating its WAP support at the Microsoft Exchange Conference (booth #217) in Atlanta, October 4 to 7. Infowave is also the title sponsor of the prestigious invitation only MEC dinner where Infowave for Exchange will be demonstrated to over 350 of Microsoft's top Exchange customers. Version 4.0 of Infowave for Exchange with support for UP.Browser(tm) microbrowsers from Phone.com(tm) (NASDAQ:PHCM) and Microsoft's Microbrowser is scheduled to ship in the first half of 2000. Infowave for Exchange will be available in two ways; enterprise customers will be able to purchase the software directly or access it by subscribing to an Application Service Provider (ASP) or Service Bureau that is using Infowave to wirelessly enable their Microsoft Exchange offering.
