Advanced Communications Technologies in Key 3G Index; Included in Index Along With Such Industry Leaders as AT&T Wireless, Verizon, Nokia and Motorola.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 20, 2001 Advanced Communications Technologies Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :ADVC ADVC Analog to Digital Video Converter ) (ACT-US) today announced that it has been included in the 3G-30 Index, an index of 30 companies that represent the next generation wireless world as chosen by the 3G Newsroom, a leading wireless industry publication. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. 3G Newsroom, the Index was created in order to define in one list, those companies which will have the greatest impact on the future of wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. . Companies within the Index are in various wireless industry consumer and commercial markets and include: AT&T Wireless; British Telecommunications; Convergys Corporation; Ericsson; Motorola; Nokia; Siemens; Verizon Communications; and Vodafone. "Advanced Communications Technologies was included in our 3G-30 Index because of its advanced development of software radio technology," said Patrick Yuen, Site Manager for the 3G Newsroom. "With the development of a large number of digital standards around the world, software radio has huge potential to dynamically and flexibly adapt to different radio environments. Software radio will play an important part in the future of 3G in allowing multiple standards to work together. This was one of the major reasons why Advanced Communications Technologies was chosen." The 3G-30 Index is already attracting strong interest from the brokerage community and financial press who are keen to use it as a benchmark for the performance of the next generation wireless industry. Formal agreements for use of the Index are expected to be finalized in the coming months. "We are pleased to receive such high level recognition of our achievements in the leading edge development of software defined radio A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported. for both commercial and military applications," said Roger May, Chairman of ACT-US. "The shift to 3G technologies is inevitable but infrastructure costs remain the main challenge to the industry's growth. ACT's SpectruCell technology can generate tremendous savings for wireless carriers by reducing the cost of providing a 3G network service by up to two thirds over a traditional network roll out. This powerful advantage is derived from the fact that by implementing SpectruCell, network operators need only install the one software-based radio rather than multiple hardware defined radios that are only compatible with one protocol. We believe these features are the key reasons why major European and American wireless carriers have expressed strong interest in installing SpectruCell into their next-generation networks."

About Advanced Communications Technologies Advanced Communications Technologies Inc. (ACT) is a world leader in the development of software-defined radio (SDR See software defined radio. ), an innovative technology that allows for exceptional flexibility in commercial and military wireless communications. The Company's flagship product-SpectruCell, is a SDR multiple protocol wireless base station consisting of hardware and software, that enables network providers to install a single base station and configure it to any or all protocols (GSM, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. , W-CDMA See WCDMA. , etc). Without SpectruCell, network providers would need to install separate base stations for each desired protocol. SpectruCell is supported by several patent filings that bypass 90% of Qualcomm's (Nasdaq:QCOM QCOM Qualcomm, Inc. (stock symbol) ) patents on CDMA via hardware solutions. ACT holds the exclusive rights to SpectruCell throughout the North, South and Central American markets and to other current and future products developed by its Australian research and development affiliate, which is 20% owned by ACT-US.
