Jeff, Re: wireless communications company JUNE 18, 1998 WaveRider Communications Inc. Captures Global Attention as Wireless Internet Bridge Goes to Market - Million-dollar contracts for NCL135 confirm worldwide market demand - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--WaveRider Communications Inc., a global leader in wireless Internet products, confirmed the powerful market appeal of its newly-launched NCL135 with the announcement of significant contracts for pilot installations scheduled to commence in July. "WaveRider(r) is now open for business," said Bruce Sinclair, WaveRider's president and CEO. "After more than a year in development, the NCL135, a wireless bridge linking local area networks to the Internet backbone, is completed. Customer support has been tremendous; pilots have been built and orders are being received." British Columbia companies were quick to support WaveRider's new technology with contracts for pilot installations representing more than $1 million (US) of WaveRider Wireless Internet Networking (WIN) products to be installed over the next 12 months. They include DeafNet Communications International Inc. (www.deafnet.com), a provider of specialized applications including video conferencing over the Internet to the world's deaf community. "WaveRider's wireless Internet access solution will help us promote communication through the use of sign language by providing affordable video conferencing solutions to the deaf and hard of hearing peoples of the world," said Joe Evans, DeafNet's CEO. Also taking advantage of WaveRider's high-speed wireless access product are Internet Service Providers, FSJ.Net (www.fsj.net.com), a Northern BC provider of Internet services in Fort St. John and surrounding area, and Internet Gateway Corporation (www.intergate.bc.ca) based in Vancouver. WaveRider demonstrated its commitment to the Internet with the use of a live Web cast of its Vancouver news conference and product demonstrations. Both Web casts can be viewed by logging onto www.waverider.com. The NCL135 seamlessly integrates with the LMS270 system, designed to connect end-users to the Internet via wireless modems. The LMS270 is scheduled to ship later this year. Together, the systems facilitate a complete wireless Internet access solution. Founded in 1997, WaveRider is a leading wireless technology company that develops, manufactures and markets products for data communications and Wireless Internet Networking (WIN). WaveRider's high performance products use frequency-hopping, spread spectrum technology coupled with time division multiple access techniques and operate in the license-free 900MHz and 2.4GHz ISM frequency bands. -30-
