(2) (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, Washington, DC, www.ctia.org, www.wow-com.com) A membership organization founded in 1984 that is involved with regulatory and public affairs issues in the wireless industry. Wireless IT & Internet 2002 Booth 2612 LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2002 Aeris.net(TM), the leading network provider for wireless telemetry telemetry Highly automated communications process by which data are collected from instruments located at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for measurement, monitoring, display, and recording. messaging, announced today that its MicroBurst mi·cro·burst n. A sudden, violent downdraft of air over a small area. Microbursts are difficult to detect and predict with standard weather instruments and are especially hazardous to airplanes during landing or takeoff. (R) network subscriber base has reached more than 250,000 units. Together with industry-leading market partners, the developers who create MicroBurst applications, Aeris is bringing the security and efficiency benefits of wireless machine-to-machine communications to a broad and diverse market. Aeris's success is due both to continuing unit growth in the security and alarm monitoring market and to an increase in market demand for wireless mobile applications such as commercial fleet management and consumer after-market telematics. Overall, Aeris experienced a significant increase in unit deployment across all vertical markets since last spring. On the Road to Success Last March Aeris completed an $8,000,000 round of financing, which fully funds the company through cash breakeven. Aeris also announced the availability of MicroBurst(R) service throughout North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. with the addition of key NAFTA NAFTA in full North American Free Trade Agreement Trade pact signed by Canada, the U.S., and Mexico in 1992, which took effect in 1994. Inspired by the success of the European Community in reducing trade barriers among its members, NAFTA created the world's corridor markets, Dallas, San Antonio San Antonio (săn ăntō`nēō, əntōn`), city (1990 pop. 935,933), seat of Bexar co., S central Tex., at the source of the San Antonio River; inc. 1837. and Oklahoma City Oklahoma City (1990 pop. 444,719), state capital, and seat of Oklahoma co., central Okla., on the North Canadian River; inc. 1890. The state's largest city, it is an important livestock market, a wholesale, distribution, industrial, and financial center, and a farm . Today, Aeris has over 55 commercial MicroBurst developers with over 250,000 units on its network. "Reaching the 250,000 unit threshold for commercial MicroBurst units continues to demonstrate Aeris's acceptance in the market. The explosive growth of the wireless telemetry market is due in part to how quickly third-party developers can leverage Aeris's wireless telemetry services," said Dick Gossen, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Aeris.net. "Although our network has quickly added 100,000 units since last spring, Aeris employs a scalable network infrastructure that is capable of accommodating the next generation of even more demanding wireless telemetry solutions." Aeris will be exhibiting at CTIA's Wireless I.T. 2002 in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911.

How MicroBurst Works MicroBurst technology is a proprietary utility that enables short data packets to be transmitted over control channels in cellular networks using standard IS-41C signaling mechanisms. These short data packets are transmitted by cellular devices and are routed to the Aeris central hub facility over existing SS7 (Signaling System 7) networks. The Aeris hub identifies the service provider, the ultimate recipient for the data, and routes the data for delivery via one of several available back-end links, which include Internet and dedicated connectivity. MicroBurst technology provides ubiquity of service and the lowest possible cost structure. All data distribution is handled by Aeris's central clearinghouse facility. This distribution strategy makes MicroBurst technology fully mobile and enables all MicroBurst devices to roam throughout North, South and Central America Central America, narrow, southernmost region (c.202,200 sq mi/523,698 sq km) of North America, linked to South America at Colombia. It separates the Caribbean from the Pacific. .
