AIRDESK, Inc. showcase first wireless data interface to operate over the digital channels at February 2000 CTIA Show, New Orleans

The newest solution allows credit-card merchants to optimize their digital-rate plan for credit-card verification.

WARMINSTER, PA - February 28, 2000 - Just three months after MobileQuest, Inc. was renamed AIRDESK, Inc., the Company announces it will unveil its first new interface product, the AirSTAR 100 Digital Interface -- for digital cellular (and analog) Motorola StarTAC's for credit-card transaction terminals - at the upcoming CTIA Global Show in New Orleans, February 28 - March 1, 2000.

The new AirSTAR features superior in-building performance by routing the StarTAC antenna to its own high-gain, dual-band antenna. And since it is designed to handle transactions on the StarTAC's digital channels, the phone does not have to be switched to analog mode.

The dual-band antenna gives the AirSTAR a very attractive, end-user appeal - the AirSTAR will work within the 800MHz and 1900 MHz frequency ranges without the need to change the antenna. Additional cellular/PCS antenna solutions also will be available.

"There was an immense market need for development of this product," says AIRDESK, Inc. president Mike Lang. "Many of our customers have been asking for an interface that would allow them to take advantage of their digital-rate plan, while still maintaining just one piece of hardware. This new product will let them do just that." And, Lang adds, the AirSTAR's main appeal will be to the credit-card industry. It will not only be the first interface to work with the most popular Motorola Digital StarTAC series phones, but also will -more- utilize the digital channel to actually complete the transaction.

Lang says that AIRDESK's strategic focus is to be the premier distribution channel for many of the foremost broadband wireless and internet-friendly data devices that will then result in development of hundreds of new products into the wireless data marketplace.
