Wireless Internet, Feb, 2002

Intrado has been selected by four separate wireless carriers to manage the deployment and delivery of Phase I and Phase II wireless 911 (W911) services for their subscribers. Iowa Wireless, PYXIS Communications, and US Unwired have all recently signed three-year contracts with Intrado. Additionally, NECCI has agreed to renew its service agreement with Intrado for the next three years. These four agreements bring the total number of subscribers Intrado is contracted to serve to more than 67 million, representing over 50 percent of the wireless market, and strongly support Intrado's market leadership in wireless 911 Phase I and Phase II implementation.

Intrado will provide the essential wireless location technology foundation and service components to deploy Phase I and/or Phase II W911 service for these four carriers and to deliver the service in a highly reliable fashion over the terms of the respective agreements. The current agreements will support Iowa Wireless and NECCI in providing Phase I service and will assist PYXIS and US Unwired in the deployment and management of both Phase I and Phase II location technologies.
