Paramus, NJ-- April 6, 1992 -- Ericsson GE announced today that it is
demonstrating its Mobidem Portable Wireless Modem with Microsoft Windows
operating system for Pen Computing (Windows for Pens) at Windows World in
Chicago. The Mobidem is being used with a Windows messaging application
developed by B&M Systems that will allow messages to be sent and received
via Mobitex mobile data networks in the US and Canada as well as in
international markets.

"Ericsson GE's relationship with Microsoft represents a breakthrough in the
convergence of wireless communications and pen-based computing," says Bill
Frezza, director of marketing & business development for Ericsson GE
Mobile Communications Inc., Wireless Computing. "Working together, Windows
for Pens and Mobitex provide out-of-office workers with reliable and
easy-to-use two-way wireless data communications as they travel around
town or across the country."

The Mobidem portable wireless modem provides connectivity for pen-based
computers as well as palmtop, notebook and laptop computers via Mobitex
networks. Wireless solutions, such as Mobitex, provide the most
convenient, cost-effective connectivity between pen-based systems and
desktop PCs. According to a study recently completed by Microsoft, 80
percent of corporate users plan to use the same applications on both
desktop PCs and their new field-based portable pen computers.

"Many Windows for Pens users will need access to their company's network
from remote locations, so wireless connectivity will be critical," said
Greg Slyngstad, general manager, Microsoft Pen Computing Group. "Ericsson
GE's Mobidem is a perfect example of the innovative wireless connectivity
products available for pen-based computer users."

Mobitex is a public mobile data network designed to provide automatic
nationwide roaming using packet switched wireless technology. Packet
switching allows messages to be transmitted or received in a few seconds,
eliminating problems associated with intermittent fading or unexpected
disconnections. Mobitex networks are operating in the United States,
Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, and Norway.

Ericsson GE Mobile Communications Inc. based in Paramus, New Jersey, is
owned 60 percent by Ericsson and 40 percent by GE. Ericsson GE designs,
manufactures, and markets cellular telephones, land mobile radio products
and systems, and Mobitex wireless data communications products and systems
for global markets. Ericsson GE also markets cellular systems in North
America. For additional information, call 1-800-223-6336 or 201-265-6600.
