Press Release - GoAmerica

GoAmerica Announces Support for Windows CE Version 2.0 Operating System from Microsoft
New Devices Combined With Nationwide Internet Access Will Spur Wireless Data Adoption

Hackensack, NJ, April 7, 1998 - GoAmerica Communications Corp., the nation's leading wireless Internet and intranet service provider, announced support for Microsoft's new Windows CE version 2.0 operating system for Handheld PC's and Palm PC's at the Microsoft CE Developer's Conference.

Version 2.0's new features include a color screen, more readable fonts, native support for IP based networks, the new version of Pocket Internet Explorer, and enhancements to Windows CE "Inbox," the operating system's mail program.

GoAmerica's wireless Internet and intranet support for the Windows CE devices is designed around Bellcore's AirBoss family of advanced mobility solutions. AirBoss was recently certified by Microsoft as a 2.0 compliant application. GoAmerica currently offers its carrier and corporate end-user customers service bundles built around these devices and GoAmerica's wireless data services.

"We see widespread customer interest in combining Version 2.0 devices with wireless mobility solutions," says Randy Granovetter, communications technology manager of Microsoft's Consumer Appliance Group. "GoAmerica is playing a leading role in bringing together the components of wireless connectivity for corporations and individuals who prefer the highly portable form factor these devices provide."

"Bellcore is committed to the handheld device market, and the recent certification of our AirBoss product demonstrates this commitment," says David Pepe, executive director of Bellcore's Wireless business unit. "GoAmerica is offering Windows CE users a simple but powerful way to access critical real time data."

"We are pleased to offer our customers wireless access for this new version of Microsoft's Windows CE operating system," says Aaron Dobrinsky, president of GoAmerica Communications Corp. "Version 2.0 combined with the capabilities of GoAmerica's integrated wireless data service applications make these devices even more powerful personal productivity and business tools."

GoAmerica Communications Corp., headquartered in Hackensack, N.J., is the nation's leading wireless Internet and intranet service provider. GoAmerica's Web@Hand wireless business solutions enable corporations to cost-effectively and easily outfit their mobile workers -- from field personnel to account executives -- with access to mission critical data and E-mail via corporate intranets and the Internet. GoAmerica runs a fully integrated suite of applications for RAM, CDPD, Ardis, GSM, and CDMA wireless data networks, and allows its customers to wirelessly-enable standard Web browsers such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer version 4.0 using a wireless modem and Windows 95 laptops, Windows CE Handheld PC's, ruggedized laptops, the PalmPilot, and other handheld devices and smartphones.
