BreezeCOM Targets Japanese Market with New Distribution Agreement with CTCSP Corporation.

TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 1997--Continuing its expansion into key markets, BreezeCOM(TM) (Breeze Wireless Communications Inc.) announced today that it has reached a product distribution agreement with a leading Japanese business group.

Under the agreement, CTCSP Corporation (Itochu Techno-Science Supply Peripherals Corp.), a subsidiary of the Itochu Corporation, will sell and support BreezeCOM's wireless networking products throughout Japan. The new agreement closely follows the opening of new BreezeCOM offices in the U.K. and France.

Itochu is one of Japan's leading trading companies, and through its subsidiaries a major distributor of products for Sun Microsystems, Compaq, Cisco and other computer hardware and software companies. CTCSP handles networking and peripheral products within the Itochu group. Itochu will import BreezeCOM equipment and CTCSP will determine marketing strategy and use their well-established channels to sell the products to OEMs, VARs, system integrators and end users. BreezeCOM will provide technical support.

According to Ken Arao, vice president and general manager of CTCSP, "The Japanese market for wireless LAN products is expected to double or triple every year, and BreezeCOM's products offer high performance at an attractive price. We believe we can capture a healthy share of the market within a year."

Japanese offices are well-suited for wireless local-area networks (LANs) because a high percentage of workers have laptop computers and typically work in open-space settings or in buildings with thin walls, conditions that assure reliable wireless radio transmission. In addition, many buildings are not currently wired for networks.

Several U.S. and Japanese companies sell wireless LAN products in Japan. One of them, Clarion Co. Ltd., a wireless equipment vendor based in Tokyo, estimates that 50,000 wireless LAN units were sold in the country in 1996 and projects that 700,000 units will be sold in the year 2000.

"We think BreezeCOM's products will do well in Japan because of our commitment to high quality, high performance and customer support," said Michael Rothenberg, president and CEO of BreezeCOM. "We were seeking a long-term agreement, and are happy to have such an important company endorse our products." Rothenberg said that BreezeCOM's BreezeNET(TM) products have passed the stringent certification requirements of Japan's government testing authority.
