FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2002

OTC Wireless Inc., today announced the newest member of its distribution and marketing family: Audio Visual Innovations, Inc. Founded in 1979 in Lakeland, Florida by Martin L. Schaffel, Audio Visual Innovations, Inc. (AVI) has become the national leader in the presentation technology industry. Audio Visual Innovations' Systems Integration Division is one of the largest teams in the nation, providing custom design and installation services for world-class presentation facilities.

With the partnership now in place, Audio Visual Innovations, Inc. and its subsidiaries will carry, stock and support the complete line of OTC wireless's unique true plug and play wireless products. OTC Wireless' President and CEO Dr. Alex Tsao commented, "This partnership allows OTC wireless to break into a market that has been untapped by our competitors. We view this relationship with Audio Visual Innovations, Inc., not as a manufacturer-vendor relationship, but more as a growth opportunity partnership for both companies."

According to Jack Landstrom, Vice President of Operations for Audio Visual Innovation's Rental Services division, "AVI's Rental division will utilize the unique features of the OTC product which will allow the rental of wireless broadband Internet to be added to our show services capabilities. In the past we have had to ignore this opportunity because we were unable to offer the quality and security that OTC has built into the rental radios. Our clients just rent a radio from us and plug it in -- no disks or drivers. And with no configuration needed we have the first true opportunity to offer turn-key high-speed wireless Internet access."

Jennifer Blomberg, Vice President of Sales for Audio Visual Innovations commented, "We are very pleased to be the first to offer the new 'WiSER' wireless whiteboard product. Audio Visual Innovations has always been known for our innovation in our marketplace, and we see the opportunity of being first to market with this product and the advantages we gain over our competitors."

Jay Knabb, Managing Director of OTC Wireless stated, "The opportunity that this partnership affords us only strengthens our position in a very competitive market place. With the sales strength of Audio Visual Innovations and the uniqueness of our products, we look for a very promising relationship with Audio Visual Innovations, Inc., and its subsidiaries."
