WHO:  Ubicom, Inc., a leading provider of wireless network processor
      and software platforms for wireless networks and device
      connectivity.

WHAT: Ubicom will host public and private demonstrations on a variety
      of wireless technologies at the 2003 International Consumer
      Electronics Show (CES). The company will participate in a
      product display sponsored by the Wi-Fi Alliance with three
      unique wireless solutions based on the company's IP2022
      microprocessor and software platform. Exhibits in the Wi-Fi
      Alliance display will include:

        --  802.11b AP with 802.1x Security Reference Design -- Ubicom
            is announcing that it has brought 802.1x security features
            to its IP2022 microprocessor and software platform, and
            will demonstrate the capability on a secure 802.11b AP
            reference design. The reference design will enable 802.11b
            access points with authentication pass-through support for
            a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
            authentication server on an 802.11b network.

        --  Industry's First Stand-alone Repeater APs -- Ubicom will
            show the industry's first stand-alone repeater AP made
            possible by support for the Wireless Distribution System
            (WDS) protocol on its platform. Ubicom is working with
            leading OEMs and ODMs to develop stand-alone repeater APs
            that can be used to cost-effectively expand WLAN coverage.
            The design supports chipsets from Agere.

        --  Micro Access Point/Bridge Reference Design -- Ubicom will
            show the industry's simplest (fewest number of components)
            and smallest (1" x 2.25") 802.11b design for both a
            high-performance AP and a wireless-to-Ethernet bridge. The
            entire design is slightly larger than a Compact Flash
            card, containing an IP2022 microprocessor, 128KB of flash,
            LEDs, an Ethernet connector, and a reset switch. It
            supports all of Intersil's PRISM 802.11b chipsets (II,
            2.5, 3). The design allows for complete design creativity,
            due to its extremely small form factor, without
            sacrificing performance or features.

      Ubicom will also host a private meeting room where it will
      show an 802.11g access point, unveiled as the world's first at
      the Fall Comdex tradeshow in November. The access point is
      designed to support the emerging high-rate 802.11g draft
      standard for WLANs and combines Ubicom's IP2022 processor with
      Intersil's PRISM GT chipset to deliver true 54 Mbps operation
      and full backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard.

LOCATION:  CES Meeting Place, Meeting Room #34316, South Hall 4
           Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nev.
