Business Wire, May 25, 1999

MOUNT DORA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 1999--

American Millennium Corporation, Inc. (AMCI) (Nasdaq OTC:AMCI ) announced today that it has completed installation of its satellite communication equipment for remote monitoring of three large natural gas compressors for Fort Worth, TX based Cross Timbers Oil Co. (NYSE:XTO).

According to AMCI Chief Technology Officer Bruce R. Bacon, "All three compressors are at a remote site southeast of Ozone, Texas with Hanover Compressors (NYSE:HC) managing the monitoring service for Cross Timbers." The satellite unit "calls out" should any of the compressors fail or shut down. The message is delivered via the ORBCOMM low earth orbit satellite network to the AMCI 24/7 call center which in turn notifies Hanover that a shutdown has occurred.

AMCI President and CEO Andrew F. Cauthen stated, "The main pipeline station at this site accommodates some 17 million cubic feet of gas per day. This is a classic example of how the natural gas industry can utilize remote monitoring to increase efficiency and utilize field technicians more effectively."

"We have identified tens of thousands of assets just in the petroleum industry that can potentially be enrolled as monthly subscribers to AMCI's service. We are confident that we have the right engineering solutions at the right time and at the right price using the world's first truly global wireless data messaging network," Cauthen added.

AMCI is a licensed value-added reseller for ORBCOMM USA, L.P. that provides two-way monitoring, tracking, and messaging service through the world's first low-earth orbit satellite based data communications system. ORBCOMM is a partnership owned by Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE:ORB) and Teleglobe, Inc. of Canada, (NYSE:TSE).

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results and experience to differ materially from anticipated results and expectations expressed herein. In particular, AMCI's plans may be revised, and its actual results may differ materially from that indicated by its current plans.
