DAYNA SHIPS FIRST WIRELESS LAN PC CARD FOR THE NEWTON MARKET

MACWORLD EXPO, JANUARY 9, 1996 -- Dayna Communications, Inc. announced
today that it will begin shipping the first wireless local area networking
PC Card adapter for the Apple Newton MessagePad in mid February. The
CommuniCard Roamer, which is part of Dayna's family of PC Card Ethernet
adapters, modems, and multi-function cards will be demonstrated at the
Newton SI/VAR Symposium on January 11 and at Macworld Expo, January 9-12.
The CommuniCard Roamer will provide support not only for traditional
AppleTalk applications but also for broad based networking applications
such as client/server database access and Internet connectivity. With the
announcement, Dayna becomes the only vendor to offer a wireless LAN
solution for the Newton in a compact, lightweight PC Card form factor.

"Dayna is very excited to be on the cutting edge of wireless communications
for the Newton," said Gary Hogge, product manager for the CommuniCard
product line. "Dayna's PC Card technology will make Apple's vision of
compact wireless LAN communications for the Newton a reality, and will
provide a slim, lightweight internal solution consistent with the Newton's
compact form factor."

The CommuniCard Roamer is a credit card-sized Type II PC Card which
connects directly through the Newton's built-in PC Card slot. It includes
a small integrated antenna and draws its power directly from the Newton.
Based on Xircom's NetWave&#129; 2.4 GHz spread spectrum, frequency hopping
radio technology, the Roamer has a radio transmission rate of 1 Mbps with
actual throughput speeds of 400 to 500 Kbps. Roamer wireless users can
communicate peer-to-peer or connect to a wired Ethernet LAN via Dayna's
Network Access Points. The Roamer provides a connection range from 150 to
800 feet depending on the building environment in which the user is
working. Users can extend that range by placing multiple Network Access
Points throughout a building or warehouse, expanding the range to the
entire size of the LAN. The Roamer supports AppleTalk, and using third
party software, supports tunneled TCP/IP packets. Scrambling and frequency
hopping features provide complete data security for Roamer users.

The CommuniCard Roamer has an estimated street price of $560 and ships with
CommuniCard software and a five year warranty.
