Headline: Glenayre Technologies Joins the Personal Communicator Wireless Alliance ====================================================================== Company Supports Initiatives to Advance ReFLEX for Short Messaging Applications in PDAs SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wireless Access Group of Glenayre Technologies (NASDAQ:GEMS), today announced that it has joined 10 other companies, including paging carriers and manufacturers, in an industry alliance dedicated to advancing the ReFLEX(TM) communications technology for personal digital assistants (PDA). The Personal Communicator Wireless Alliance will work with PDA manufacturers to bring two-way wireless messaging to consumers in a variety of small devices. "We've demonstrated how productive and convenient two-way wireless messaging can be," said Gary Hermansen, president and general manager of Glenayre's Wireless Access Group. "The ability to send and receive messages from pager to pager or from Internet email addresses has caught on quickly, especially among business professionals. In fact, our AccessLink(TM) device was the first ReFLEX-based product on the market to offer such capabilities. We believe our expertise in this area will help PDA manufacturers create applications that will have true value-add for their customers." The alliance, in addition to working with PDA manufacturers, is committed to supporting open architectures based on Internet standards. The goal is to allow ReFLEX-based PDAs to communicate with each other across many different networks. This way the consumer will have seamless operation from carrier to carrier. In another example of supporting an open environment, the alliance will help enable two-way messaging for a variety of operating systems such as the Palm OS or Windows CE, again providing consumers with their operating system of choice. The alliance believes the ReFLEX protocol will create the greatest opportunity for PDA manufacturers to enhance their products because of its superior performance. For instance, systems based on the ReFLEX protocol have better in-building performance compared to other wireless data networks; automatically correct garbled transmissions; store and forward messages if the device is turned off or out of range; and has a wider coverage area.
