Compu-DAWN and Dataradio Demonstrate New Wide-Band Mobile Data Technology.CEDARHURST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 13, 1998-- The Companies Urge the FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. to Support the Public Safety Community's Efforts to Obtain More Channels for Wide-Band Data Transmission Compu-DAWN Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CODI CODI Cornucopia Of Disability Information CODI Committee on Development Information CODI Customers of Dynix, Inc. (user group) CODI Consortium Omscholing Docenten Informatica (The Netherlands) ) today announced that Compu-DAWN Inc. and Dataradio Corp. conducted a series of high-speed wireless demonstrations for members of the Federal Communication Commission and their legal assistants on Tuesday, July 7. These demonstrations, held under exparte communications rules, compared the performance of conventional narrow-band channels with proposed 150Kz channels within the 24Mz of spectrum recently allocated to public safety in the 700MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. band. Because wireless image transfers are an integral aspect of NCIC NCIC National Crime Information Center NCIC National Cancer Institute of Canada NCIC North Carolina Industrial Commission NCIC National Cartographic Information Center NCIC National Cancer Information Center (American Cancer Society) 2000, the two partners used imaging technology to demonstrate their position that public safety will require wide-band data channels. Compu-DAWN's ALECS ALECS AFWL Los Alamos EMP Calibration and Simulation ALECS Air Force Weapons Lab Electronic Pulse Calibration Simulator suite of public safety software was used to transmit color "Mug-shot" images wirelessly over both narrow-band and wide-band channels. The narrow-band demonstration employed currently available 9600 bps radio modems while the wide-band demonstration used Dataradio's new, 128Kbs high-speed technology. By using a wide-band channel, image transfer time was reduced from more than 1.5 minutes to approximately seven seconds. Compu-DAWN and Dataradio told the commission that a flexible channel allocation is needed. This flexible allocation will allow users to determine their own bandwidth needs (for image transfer, for example) in conjunction with designated frequency coordinators instead of relying on the current restrictive and limited channel licenses. Louis Libin, chief technology officer of Compu-DAWN, reflected the view of the mobile data software community when he said "the number of application products that law enforcement desires is rapidly growing, but implementation is severely restricted due to frequency allocations and bandwidth limitations, in particular."

Compu-DAWN is developing software applications that operate most efficiently over wide-band channels. Dataradio is developing the technology to provide wide-band products for public safety users.
