This could be the big break: (Anyone know how you can announce 12/31/1997 #s in Oct.?)

This technology will be marketed in North America through Mobile Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), a company jointly owned by Safeguard Scientifics (NYSE: SFE - news) of Wayne, PA, and Mikros Systems Corporation.

These live on the air tests, if successful, will conclude the Alpha phase. The Company believes these tests will demonstrate simultaneous transmission of the normal radio signal and the new digital signal. The objective of this program is to offer a product to the consumer that will provide an inexpensive wireless data delivery system for mobile and portable applications such as car radios, pagers, etc. The preliminary results for the year ended December 31, 1997 was approximately $5,097,000 in revenues and a preliminary loss of approximately $605,000.
