BreezeCOM Selected Exclusive Provider of Wireless Networking Technology by MMRlabs for The Tech Museum of Innovation; New IEEE 802.11 Product Line to Provide Internet Connections.

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 1998--BreezeCOM(R) today announced its selection as the exclusive provider of wireless networking technology for The Tech Museum of Innovation's opening weekend in San Jose, Calif. Working with Palo Alto, Calif., MultiMedia Research Labs, Inc. (MMRlabs), a multimedia research and tradeshow consulting group, BreezeCOM's BreezeNET PRO.11 Series was used to provide Internet connections between 8-10 vendors participating in Tech Activities during the opening weekend in Cesar Chavez Park adjacent to the museum. The Tech's opening weekend was Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, and drew more than 20,000 visitors.

"BreezeCOM's wireless networking products are the right solution for this type of environment," said Robert Habian, president and chief executive officer of MMRlabs, Inc. "The capabilities of BreezeCOM's products exceed our expectations for wireless LAN, making their selection the best choice possible." MMRlabs also selected BreezeCOM products because of their flexibility and reliability.

The Tech Museum of Innovation is an educational resource established to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in exploring and experiencing technologies affecting their lives and to inspire the young to become innovators in the technologies of the future. This event marked the opening of the museum's new 132,000 square-foot, three-level facility in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

"The task of connecting Cesar Chavez Park with the museum had previously been a logistics nightmare, presenting limited capabilities when trying to incorporate the park into museum activities," said Gwen Sobolewski, events manager for The Tech Museum of Innovation. "With the assistance of BreezeCOM and MMRlabs, we have a connectivity solution that can be used for years, opening a realm of future possibilities. BreezeCOM has provided a user-friendly solution to a major problem." The Tech plans to continue incorporating the BreezeCOM wireless solution after the opening weekend for various activities requiring wireless connectivity throughout the year.

The BreezeNET PRO.11 Series is the ideal solution for client-to-network and network-to-Internet wireless connections. BreezeCOM loaned its wireless equipment to MMRlabs and The Tech, including building-to-building Access Points, single- and four-port Station Adapters, building-to-building Workgroup Bridges, and a directional antenna. The BreezeNET PRO.11 Series is ideal for the wireless outdoor network because of its robust data rate of up to 3 Mbps and its transmission range of up to six miles.

MMRlabs has provided permanent interactive showroom facilities, mobile learning environments, tradeshow attractions, special events, and classes in a neutral, non-sales environment. MMRlabs has worked in the areas of education, promotion, integration, research and testing for hundreds of clients since 1989.

"We are pleased that MMRlabs selected the BreezeNET PRO.11 Series for this premier event in the high technology community," said Bruce Sanguinetti, executive vice president of American sales and operations for BreezeCOM. "BreezeCOM's wireless network products allow network managers to easily deploy a reliable, high performance network where no wired network can go, and the Tech Museum/Cesar Chavez Park event is one of many such venues where BreezeNET has successfully provided network connections without the trouble and expense of laying cable."

The PRO.11 Series works with a wide range of standard hardware and software -- including portable and desktop PCs, palmtops, specialized handheld devices, Windows 95 & 98, Windows NT, NetWare, and SNMP -- and is compatible with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and 802.11 wireless networks. The PRO.11 Series is easy to install and can be up and running in a fraction of the time it takes to cable and install traditional wired Ethernet networks.
