INNOMEDIA ANNOUNCES INFOWAVE WIRELESS COMPUTER CONNECTION

Digital Spread Spectrum Technology Ensures Secure, Reliable Communication

SANTA CLARA, CA -- February, 1999 -- Providing computer users with an alternative to annoying
and unsightly cables, InnoMedia, Inc. announces the InfoWave™ wireless Computer Connection.
Using state-of-the-art digital spread spectrum technology, InfoWave provides secure and reliable
wireless access from any desktop or notebook computer to a remote computer, modem, printer, or
other peripheral up to 800 feet away. With InfoWave, users can easily share remotely located modems
and printers, or perform PC-to-PC file transfers.

The reliable InfoWave is ideal for permanent installations where running wires is impractical or expensive,
such as in older buildings, and for easy-to-setup temporary installations. The wireless solution is flexible,
allowing users to freely locate and move their PCs without being tied down by a serial or parallel port
connection.

"Running cables to connect computers to each other or to peripherals can be inconvenient in many
homes and office buildings," said Mr. Kai-Wa Ng, CEO and Co-founder of InnoMedia. "InfoWave enables
users to create robust wireless mini-networks. The high speed 900 MHZ digital spread spectrum
technology provides higher quality communications, with longer range, less noise, and higher security
than conventional wireless solutions."

Using the InfoWave, computer users can link their computers to a corporate network or share
peripherals such as printers regardless of location. InfoWave also enables users to share files
between two personal computers without the need for additional cabling.

Using auto-scan and auto-channel change, the InfoWave automatically determines and moves to the
clearest channel to ensure the best communication. Adjustable packet sizes and automatic
retransmission guarantee maximum performance. The InfoWave operates to a distance of 300 feet
in a typical indoor environment and up to 800 feet in open space. The high 85 kbps transfer rate
provides fast data transmission.

Connecting to PC's using either the computer's serial or parallel port, InfoWave directly replaces
traditional RS-232 cables. InfoWave supports a host interface data rate of up to 115.2 kbps.

InfoWave is available through InnoMedia's distributors/resellers with an estimated street price of $249.
