Business Wire, May 23, 1995

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 1995--Reflection Technology announced today that it has signed a multi-million dollar agreement with Lockheed Martin Commercial Electronics. The agreement states that Lockheed Martin Commercial Electronics will manufacture Reflection's FaxView 2000 personal fax reader, its breakthrough mobile telecommunications product. The first FaxView units will be completed by July 1995.

"Reflection carefully evaluated commercial contract manufacturers before selecting Lockheed Martin Commercial Electronics," said Mike Feldstein, vice president of engineering at Reflection Technology. "The deciding factor was the company's volume capacity and very strong client base, including Motorola."

The agreement with Reflection entails assembly of the units, testing of the final product and distribution to Reflection's customers.

"Our team is extremely pleased and excited to be selected by Reflection Technology as its manufacturing partner for volume production of the FaxView 2000 product," said Roger M. Damphousse, president of Lockheed Martin Commercial Electronics. "We see the FaxView 2000 as providing a unique, compact, creative solution to the problem of real time transfer of visual data over today's cellular phone system. We view this initial product as the first of many future successes for both of our companies."

FaxView 2000 Defined

FaxView 2000 personal fax reader, which will be available in the Fall of 1995, is a pocket-sized accessory to cellular phones that allows users to receive and read standard faxes. FaxView incorporates Reflection Technology's patented high resolution Scanned Linear Array (SLA) display, which is the enabling technology for this innovative fax product. The display allows users to view a full page of information through a one-inch window. Small enough to fit into a pocket or purse and weighing only 9 ounces, FaxView provides an easy-to-read full-screen image of a fax document. FaxView is powered by a Motorola 68000 microprocessor.

Founded in 1987, Reflection Technology is a worldwide leader in virtual display technology and mobile messaging. Reflection, with headquarters and a research and development center in Waltham, Massachusetts, develops and markets its Scanned Linear Array (SLA) display technology and products that incorporate the display. The company is working with partners to integrate its technology into a new generation of products ranging from telecommunications to consumer electronics applications.
