Advanced Communications Technologies, Inc. - New Acquisitions - Total Solution Wireless Network Provider - 2001.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 1999--

The Board of Directors of Advanced Communications Technologies, Inc. ("ACT") (OTC BB -"ADVCI") announced today that it has completed the acquisition of majority equity in World IP, Inc., a facilities based carrier, with ISP gateways operating in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Venezuela. The Chief Executive Officer, Roger May also stated that the acquisition of a majority equity in two other communications companies is well advanced, and expected to be completed before the end of 1999. The new acquisitions are consistent with the company's objectives of becoming a next generation total solution wireless network carrier for the communications industry for the next century.

May also said "the company is currently completing the acquisition of a "Spectrum Efficient point-to point Digital Microwave" (SEM) backbone link. The SEM has a currently installed base of more than 100 units internationally. Operating at 1024 QAM, the backbone link provides 3-4 times more call carrying capacity, within the same spectrum, than most other microwave network links currently used by the major carriers". The company is also purchasing a Wireless Local Loop technology that is also currently operational. Full details will be made available upon the completion of the acquisitions.

When combined with the company's "SpectruCell" Multiple Protocol Wireless base station, ACT will be able to provide a total solution wireless network, capable of terminating voice and data calls to both mobile telephone networks, and fixed network home/office phones. The SpectruCell network will be essentially "future proof" as it is software upgradeable, has open architecture, and most importantly, can carry all current and evolving protocols (CDMA, GSM, W-CDMA, 3G, etc.) over the same network. It will also allow for "spread distribution" network operation, eliminating the majority of the centralized switching bottlenecks currently being experienced by most carriers. SpectruCell, the SEM link, and the WLL, will all be proprietary technologies owned by the company and its affiliates.

May also advised, that the Investment Memorandum prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers Securities to raise AU$20 million for the R&D facility in Australia, is now available. Completion of this interim funding is expected in early 2000.

ACT is well placed to be a major wireless communications provider, with proprietary wireless network facilities that can be rapidly deployed in both traditional markets, and especially in the evolving third world regions. More information about ACT is available at, www.adcomtech.net.
