Brown to lead sales & marketing program for Cycomm cellular security subsidiary.

MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 1996--Cycomm International Inc. (AMEX:CYI) announced Tuesday that Ronald J. Brown of Lafayette, Calif., former president and chief executive officer of Notable Technologies Inc. and a former senior executive at ComputerLand Corp., Businessland Inc. and Osborne Computer Corp., has been named vice president of Sales and Marketing for its cellular security subsidiary, Cycomm Corp. of Portland, Ore.

Brown, who has more than 25 years senior management experience with high tech companies, will head up a newly established program for U.S. and international sales.

Cycomm Corp. is a leading U.S. supplier of call security systems for the cellular market, including hand-held, vehicular and transportable units. Cycomm sells directly, particularly to major corporations, or offers product through cellular carriers and telecom distributors.

The company recently was awarded a patent for its premier product which attaches to the popular Motorola MicroTAC(R) cellular phone and allows secure access to other cellular devices or the public switched network. Cycomm also offers a switched 800-number call security service for cellular users throughout the U.S. and Canada.

For the past four years Brown served as president and CEO of Notable, a start-up developer of software applications for the telecom industry, especially pen-based computing and wireless messaging. Previously, he headed sales organization as senior vice president for ComputerLand and senior vice president for Businessland.

Earlier, he was chairman and CEO of Osborne Computer Corp. In those posts Brown created significant sales distribution systems both domestically and internationally.

"The addition of Ronald Brown to the executive management team at the Portland subsidiary comes at a critical time as the company continues to emerge from its R&D phase and begins delivering more products to the marketplace," according to Peter Hickey, president and CEO of Cycomm International Inc.

"Cycomm has just committed to a major sales and marketing campaign that is expected to broaden its relationship with the cellular carriers and distributors, as well as open new sales channels. Ronald Brown has a successful track record of creating and developing strategic relationships and global sales programs and we are confident that he will contribute significantly to Cycomm's growth during the year."

Cycomm plans to establish regional sales operations domestically to coincide with its carrier customers. An international sales staff will be established and directed from the Portland site, as will be the joint marketing programs with AT&T announced late last year.

Cycomm recently installed a switch at its Boston hub for its 800-number U.S. and Canada service and that operation will be managed from that site.

Cycomm International Inc., with subsidiaries in Portland, Ore. and Albuquerque, N.M., supplies a variety of telecommunications products and services, including security products targeted towards the growing needs of mobile telephone and computer users. It also specializes in products and services for state and federal governments. -0- (CYI - AMEX & Alberta) SEC File No. 1-11686 12B SEC File No. 0-18915 12G
