AirLink Communications Responds to Market Demand for EV-DO Rev. A Technology.

Intelligent Wireless Modems Migrate to High-Speed 3G Data Solutions

HAYWARD, Calif. -- AirLink Communications, Inc., a pioneer and leading provider of fixed and mobile wireless data solutions, today announced its upcoming progression to Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) technology. In an effort to deliver the most advanced and reliable solutions for its rugged and intelligent wireless modems, AirLink's planned EV-DO Rev. A deployment reaffirms its dedication and commitment to meeting and exceeding customer expectations across North America.

"Rev. A technology promises to provide a marked improvement for wide area wireless broadband networking solutions," stated Justin Schmid, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "Our customers will appreciate data speeds that are comparable with wired broadband. This migration is just one of the many steps AirLink is taking to strengthen its position as a leading wireless data solutions provider."

By progressing to Rev A. technology, AirLink's products will be supported by faster download and upload speeds, with peak data rates of 3.1 megabits per second (Mbps) and 1.8 Mbps respectively. Average data download speeds are expected to be 450 to 800 Kilobits per second (Kbps) while typical upload data rates will be 300 to 400 Kbps. These faster data transfer rates improve wireless data application performance and the distinctly faster upload speeds will optimize existing solutions and drive adoption of a host of new applications and services.

"AirLink remains in lock-step with the network operators as they roll out technology upgrades and we are committed to aggressively commercializing products that enable our customers to take advantage of these network upgrades when available," continued Schmid. "We are well on our way to launching Rev A capable solutions and are on track to have them available by the end of this year."

With Rev. A, AirLink's solutions will be an ideal platform for applications where wired network access isn't available or practical. This Rev. A enhancement will enable companies to efficiently monitor and manage their fixed and mobile assets leveraging AirLink's superior ALEOS technology and best-in-class tools and utilities including AceNet and Wireless Ace applications. Rev. A technology complements AirLink's existing broad suite of wireless products, already the most advanced and reliable industrial wireless connectivity solutions available on the market today.
