Xircom Delivers Industry-First MiniPCI Modem Solution Monday March 29, 6:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Company Reaffirms Leadership and Focus on Mobile Connectivity THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 1999--Xircom, Inc. (Nasdaq:XIRC - news), the world leader in connectivity solutions for mobile computing professionals, today confirmed it has been shipping its 56K MiniPCI modems to Hitachi Ltd. (NYSE:HIT - news) in Japan since February. Xircom's MiniPCI solution, which utilizes Lucent Technologies' leading modem technology, provides a flexible and low cost configuration alternative for communications functionality in Hitachi's notebook PCs. ''Hitachi has been building Xircom's high-performance MiniPCI modems into our newest sub-notebook products for over a month,'' said Tugio Momose, general manager of Hitachi's PC Division. ''Xircom's expertise in mobile communications and their technical competency in product development gives us the strategic advantages of low cost assembly and speed to market.'' MiniPCI Yields Incremental Business Opportunity MiniPCI represents an incremental opportunity for Xircom to enhance and broaden its product offerings by supplying standards based communications solutions that replace existing proprietary modem daughter cards. Xircom's focus on mobile connectivity, flexible manufacturing capabilities and rapid product development cycles, enable it to provide a full range of communications solutions in a variety of form factors that meet the unique needs of both notebook PC OEMs and the corporate enterprise customer. ''Xircom's world-class speed-based processes make us nimble and aggressive in our pursuit of MiniPCI business, as evidenced by our current presence in Japan,'' said Anthony Gioeli, Xircom's vice president of worldwide OEM sales. ''Xircom has the mobile communications expertise and technical knowledge that enable us to design and manufacture a wide range of solutions in order to capitalize on incremental opportunities like this with Hitachi.'' About MiniPCI The MiniPCI form factor, currently under review by the PCI Special Interest Group, is designed to support integrated communications in small form factor products, such as notebook and handheld PCs. MiniPCI incorporates the same essential electronics, functionality, and software drivers of standard PCI expansion devices into a very small daughter card.
