Verizon Wireless Chooses AIRDESK as National Provider of Wireless Data and Telemetry Services for Enterprise

AIRDESK First to Make Data-Only Pricing Available to the Machine-to-Machine Marketplace

PHILADELPHIA, PA and BEDMINSTER, NJ, March 13, 2003 - Verizon Wireless, the nations largest wireless carrier and a leader in mobile data, today announced that it has named AIRDESK Inc., an international distributor of telemetry and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) wireless data solutions, as a National Master Agent for Verizon Wireless 1XRTT high-speed data Express NetworkSM services. AIRDESK is the first provider of telemetry services based on Verizon Wireless new data-only pricing plans.

M2M wireless telemetry consists of the transfer of data over a wide-area, wireless network between two or more non-mobile or mobile machines. Verizon Wireless data-only pricing plans provide tremendous value for M2M wireless data solutions, which touch virtually every industry. These data-only pricing plans will allow industries, such as utilities and fleet services that have high data requirements, to increase automation and reduce costs.

We are looking forward to working with AIRDESK as they roll out multi-tiered pricing plans for wireless telemetry. The combination of our reliable network and telemetry pricing, together with AIRDESKs distribution network, hardware partners and technical expertise, is the right choice for many businesses," said Tony Heyman, vice president of national distribution for Verizon Wireless.

Through the Verizon Wireless Express Network, AIRDESK offers a solution that transfers data quickly and efficiently.

This increase in speed lowers cost, making them valuable for the marketplace. For instance, a company can cost effectively track its fleet service drivers to monitor mileage, determine their location and be advised of their point of delivery. Or, a vending machine can automatically notify its supplier when it is low on a certain product.

Verizon Wirelesss multi-tiered telemetry pricing is the single most important catalyst for enabling the M2M wireless telemetry marketplace to date. Our ability to offer pricing designed solely for the M2M marketplace, positions AIRDESK as the go-to source for executing on our promise to provide viable and scalable Machine-to-Machine solutions to our customers," said Michael Lang, President and CEO, AIRDESK Inc.

AIRDESK has 15 years of experience with its vast distribution channel, which currently includes distributor agreements with Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Wavecom, and Sierra Wireless, among others. Within the industry, AIRDESK is a recognized expert in wireless data solutions and has relationships with thousands of technology and integration companies.
