AirNet Communications and SAIC Sign Value-Added Reseller Agreement.

MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 1998--AirNet(r) Communications announced Monday a major expansion of its marketing and sales channels by way of a value-added reseller (VAR) agreement with Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC).

Under the agreement, SAIC would make annual purchases of Global System for Mobile (GSM) PCS-1900 infrastructure equipment and related training for customers identified by both companies. SAIC will promote, resell and integrate AirNet's GSM-based Personal Communications Services (PCS) product family along with other equipment and services to provide turnkey wireless networks to customers.

"This pact with AirNet further solidifies SAIC's strategy of targeting global high growth, high technology markets," said David Overski, senior vice president of SAIC. "We firmly believe that AirNet's PCS Base Station Subsystem (BSS) will position SAIC to capture significant market share of those GSM-based PCS operators seeking to operate or expand into suburban, rural and remote areas."

Jerrold Adams, AirNet's president and chief executive officer, stated, "The agreement between SAIC and AirNet is a confirmation of the belief in and support of AirNet's products and vision. We are eager to partner with SAIC on this mission to broaden the proliferation of GSM PCS services in communities large and small."

In November 1997, SAIC greatly expanded its telecommunications capabilities with the acquisition of Bellcore, a leading international provider of communications software, engineering and professional services. SAIC and its subsidiaries, including Bellcore, have estimated revenues of $4 billion and more than 31,000 employees. Founded in 1969, SAIC now ranks as the largest employee-owned high-tech firm in the United States. SAIC and its subsidiaries have offices in over 150 cities worldwide.

"A unique strength of SAIC is responsiveness to rapidly evolving markets and technologies," remarked Paul Chang, SAIC's senior vice president and group manager. "This arrangement with AirNet allows SAIC to quickly package end-to-end PCS solutions that are crucial to the success of our clients."

"We are extremely pleased to have SAIC as a value-added reseller," said Glenn Ehley, AirNet's vice president of Marketing and Sales. "As one of the leading systems integrators in the world, we recognize the tremendous advantage SAIC brings to AirNet with respect to tackling networks of any size or complexity."
