HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1999--

Sales of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless phones by Audiovox Communications Corp. (ACC), a subsidiary of Audiovox Corp. (AMEX: VOX), surged during the first quarter of 1999, yielding ACC a 16.2 percent share of the CDMA market, according to Dataquest, Inc., a unit of Gartner Group, Inc. According to the Dataquest results, Audiovox showed the strongest sales growth among the top seven CDMA handset manufacturers.

Audiovox placed second overall in sales of code division multiple access phones for the first three months of 1999, up from fourth place at 10.6 percent share of the CDMA market at year end 1998, according to Dataquest.

"Smart, aggressive marketing campaigns by the CDMA carriers have advanced the demand for CDMA technology considerably," said ACC President and CEO Philip Christopher. "The Dataquest results confirm that Audiovox's strategy of creating products that meet the specific needs of wireless service carriers is on target.
