• "Industry wisdom still favors W-CDMA, because so many companies-including big equipment makers like Finland's Nokia Corp. and Sweden's Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson-have committed so much to the technology."
Wall Street Journal, March 21, 2002

• "Due to the need for ubiquitous interoperability, open standards are viewed as necessary for mobile data to achieve mass-market appeal. Ubiquitous interoperability proved critical for mobile voice services."
- UBS Paine Webber, November 2001

• "The first W-CDMA phones are due out in the second half of 2002 according to NEC, Nokia and others."
-Telecom Equipment, Lehman Brothers, January 2002

MobilePro Technology Division

NeoReach Wireless was incorporated in 2005, as the technology division of MobilePro Corporation to manage the company's wireless service offerings, including municipal deployments, wireless ISP acquisitions and ZigBee chip initiative. NeoReach Wireless is the first to deploy a city-wide, border-to-border wireless network in the City of Tempe, Arizona. There are other wireless networks, including those launched by municipalities themselves, however none to-date cover entire cities. Our strategy is to eliminate the capital investments required by municipalities to deploy such networks, as well as the on-going investment required to manage and service these networks.
NeoReach has taken the owner/operator approach and positioned ourselves as the wholesale entity of the network to allow for competition among various retail partners.

We are an innovator and developer of wireless broadband networks and services. Our wireless broadband networks and services will be provided in our Wireless Access Zones (WAZ) to be primarily located in municipality sponsored areas. These network systems are scalable and flexible and will be readily modified to offer a variety of broadband services. Our focus is to grow our current customer base, develop and deploy wireless technologies, acquire and grow profitable telecommunications and broadband companies and forge strategic alliances with well positioned companies with complementary product lines in complementary industries.

NeoReach Wireless was awarded the City of Tempe's municipal network in April 2005; a 40 square mile, border-to-border, Wi-Fi project, the first of its kind in the country. WAZMetro is the brand name of the various municipal networks owned and operated by NeoReach Wireless, Inc. The Tempe network, for example, is referred to as WazTempe and will provide city-wide multi-band Wi-Fi networks for municipal vehicles and personnel, including public safety employees as well as wireless services for residences, retail businesses, schools, hotels and resorts, transportation operators and public events. The network was formed out of a partnership between the City of Tempe and NeoReach Wireless and will be deployed over the city's entire 40-square-mile territory. The network will consist of hundreds of access points throughout Tempe, installed in phases, with full deployment scheduled to be complete in early 2006. The "mesh network" will allow subscribers to utilize the Internet on laptops, WySIP phones , as well as wifi enabled cell phones, and PDAs anywhere within Tempe's borders. NeoReach Wireless has agreements in place that will expand it's municipal network offering into several other cities across the United States.

ZigBee Initiative

NeoReach Inc.'s ZigBee initiative represents the company's radio frequency semiconductor and other core semiconductor chip technologies, intended to provide the foundation to develop advanced 3G chip semiconductor technology. The initiative includes 3G modem semiconductor chip sets for hand set telephones, pico-cell base stations, smart antenna technology and advanced radio frequency design support. NeoReach has been awarded five patents for its wideband-CDMA ("W-CDMA") smart antenna processing technology and has additional patents to protect its intellectual property rights in various chip modem design and implementation areas.

The initiative is formed on an agreement with Information and Communications University (ICU), a Korean institution with leading-edge development experience in ZigBee RF design. ICU is jointly developing MobilePro's ZigBee RF transceiver chip, under the NeoReach Inc division. MobilePro will own 100% of all intellectual property rights under the development agreement.

The agreement is centered on MobilePro's April 2004 filing of a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent application describes a technology that increases integration on a semiconductor chip for wireless communications, including communications under the ZigBee standard. The new design is anticipated to utilize system-on-a-chip (SOC) to allow for lower cost and more compact and efficient wireless communications.

ICU is a leader in the research and development of advanced ZigBee RF design. By combining MobilePro's exclusive intellectual property and ICU's expertise will form a powerful combination for MobilePro's future work in the ZigBee area. Research and develop continues in wireless technologies and additional applications will continue to develop.

Dr. Sang-Gug Lee, professor at ICU, said, "MobilePro has developed and filed for a patent on technology that could power the growth of communications in the ZigBee marketplace. As system-on-a-chip designs become the preferred vehicle for advanced Radio-Frequency (RF) chips, MobilePro's investment in innovative technologies will further build on its intellectual property rights. In an increasing number of applications such as ZigBee, low-cost, low- power consumption, more compact design and minimum noise will be required for the next level of integration. With MobilePro, we expect to seek and invest in advancements during the development process that we believe will bring additional technology value and intellectual property rights to MobilePro."

MobilePro has filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a wireless technology invention created by the company. The application covers 32 claims in multiple frequencies around multiple wireless standards including ZigBee, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Wireless standards themselves are in the public domain and thus not patentable.

The patent application describes a technology that increases integration on a semiconductor chip for wireless communications. The new design is anticipated to allow for lower cost and more compact and efficient wireless communications. It reflects the trend toward fully integrated systems-on-a-chip ("SoC").

The divison also resells Inciscent's wired-to-wireless software. The wireless applications, called Inciscent Command & Control (IC2?), allow users to remotely manage a private IT network with a wireless device such as a laptop, cell phone or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

The IC2 application gives IT personnel the ability to perform remote troubleshooting on IT systems and networks from wireless handheld devices such as laptops, PDAs or cell phones or even the Internet in the event of a system failure or emergency.

About Zigbee

Zigbee is a wireless standard (802.15.4) for the emerging home, commercial and industrial networking and controls market for reliable, cost-effective, low-power solutions. Research firm ABI estimates that the home controls wireless market alone could reach $4 billion by 2008. MobilePro and NeoReach are members of the ZigBee Alliance www.zigbee.org, an industry consortium working on ZigBee standard chips and devices.

About Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a wireless standard (802.11b). Research firm BWCS reported more than 80 million broadband connections in homes globally at year-end 2003. However, the number of Wi-Fi-enabled homes in 2003 was only 5 million, mainly in the United States. An estimated 50 million homes in Europe, the United States and Asia are forecast to have Wi-Fi connectivity by 2007. For more information, please go to www.wi-fi.org.

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is an open specification for short-range communications of data and voice between both mobile and stationary devices. Bluetooth technology enables seamless voice and data connections between a wide range of devices through short-range digital two-way radio operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Market researchers predict tremendous growth for the Bluetooth market. According to research firm InStat/MDR, the Bluetooth market will show a 132 percent compound annual growth rate or an increase from 10.4 million Bluetooth chip sets shipped in 2001 to 690 million units in 2006. IDC and Allied Business Intelligence expect worldwide shipment of 400 to 500 million Bluetooth modules in 2005, a cumulative total of one and a half billion for the years 2000 to 2005. A Merrill Lynch market study forecasts 2.1 billion Bluetooth modules will be sold in 2005, with a cumulative total of 5.5 billion for the years 2000 to 2005.
