Company Press Release SOURCE: Xybernaut Corporation Firestone Places Initial Order With Xybernaut(R); Firestone's Building Products Division Now Standardized on MA IV(TM) for All Field Technicians FAIRFAX, Va., Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Xybernaut Corporation (Nasdaq: XYBR - news), the leader in wearable computing, today announced that it has received an order from Firestone Building Products Company, a division of Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. for dozens of its wearable PCs, the Mobile Assistant© IV (MA IV(TM)). Firestone Building and Products (FBP) manufactures and markets a full line of roofing systems, insulation and accessory products for commercial roofing applications. The MA IV will be used by the FBP's Contractor Services group to perform on-site roof. The MA IV will allow the inspection data to be captured digitally and verified at the job site, then sent electronically to the corporate office. Edward G. Newman, president and CEO of Xybernaut, commented, ``We are very pleased that our relationship with Firestone continues to advance. This initial application is an excellent example of the large market for equipping field personnel with wearable PCs for collecting, transmitting and accessing data. The IDC Global IT Survey indicates that half the workers at large businesses in the U.S. do not work at a desk and are thus unable to access their company's information technology without an information appliance like the MA IV. The Gartner Group has estimated that there are 137 million business users worldwide that work outside of the enterprise and without continuous access to a LAN. The wearable PC provides a tool for this population of workers to access their organization's information technology and allows the organization to leverage its investment in this technology. Most importantly, the MA IV allows this access under a number of standard operating systems as 'just another node on the network' without the special web sites or modifications often required with non-standard operating systems.'
