(PR NEWSWIRE) World Wide Wireless Communications Inc. Announces Personnel World Wide Wireless Communications Inc. Announces Personnel Additions to Facilitate Build-Out of its Wireless Internet System SAN FRANCISCO, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WLGS) announced today that the Company has hired a new Vice President/Chief Operating Officer and a new Vice President/Director of Licensing and System Expansion. For the position of Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the Company announced the hiring of C.R. "Bud" Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins comes to the Company with more than ten years experience in multi-plant management in the aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications industry. He has special expertise in start-up and turnaround situations and in building increased profits through revenue enhancements and cost savings. In the past several years, Mr. Jenkins had served as President of IMC Magnetics Corporation, Tempe, Arizona, a division of Minebea Ltd., Tokyo, Japan. At IMC, Mr. Jenkins took control of a struggling operation and turned an unprofitable division around in only a year. Prior to IMC, Mr. Jenkins had worked with Rexham Packaging Division, Orange, Connecticut as General Manager and before that he had served as Director of Manufacturing and Operations with the Cables Division of L.M. Ericsson, Inc., in Overland Park, Kansas. "I am very pleased that an individual with Bud's expertise, track record, and temperament has joined the Company", noted Douglas Haffer, the Company's President and CEO. "From our first meeting, it was obvious to me that Bud possessed the necessary vision, energy, and commitment-to-excellence to take on the critical role of Chief Operating Officer," Haffer added. "Everything in his history has convinced us that he will succeed admirably in overseeing the aggressive schedule the Company intends to follow in building-out its wireless internet system." In addition to Mr. Jenkins, the Company also has hired Dana Miller as its full time Vice President and Director of Licensing and Systems Expansion. Mr. Miller has been engaged as an independent contractor with the Company and its predecessor for many years and has played a vital role in the acquisition and maintenance of the Company's current wireless-Internet-license system. Well- known and respected within the broadband wireless industry and with years of experience in both the technical and operational side of the industry, Mr. Miller will play a crucial role in the Company's build-out and expansion program. "Being able to employ the services of Dana on a full-time basis will greatly facilitate the ambitious build-out and acquisition schedule," Haffer noted. "To secure the exclusive services of someone like Dana, who has been a part of the wireless broadband industry nearly from its inception, is a major coup for the Company," Haffer added. With personnel now in place, the Company is on target for its previously announced program to construct and commence operations at a new location every three months. Buoyed by the recent attention being given to the broadband wireless Internet sector and the entry of new players into the industry, World Wide Wireless Communications is now positioned to implement its plan to play a major role in the development of high-speed wireless Internet operations nationally and internationally.
