AERIS.NET INTRODUCES AERFRAME M2M SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM

Powerful New Paradigm in Wireless M2M Services

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Sept. 27, 2005)    Aeris.net (www.aeris.net), the leading network services provider for wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) fixed and mobile communications services, today announced the availability of AerFrame™, the company's premium M2M service delivery platform.

Aeris has created a powerful new paradigm in wireless M2M - rugged connectivity combined with standby availability of higher bandwidth network services. AerFrame is a major telecommunications utility, the industry's first open network management platform delivering robust, on-demand connectivity for multi-layered network services. AerFrame enables a full range of communication solutions required for M2M applications - supporting messaging requirements from short packet bursts to streaming data, and even voice for those applications requiring occasional, on-demand voice connectivity.

Leveraging the strength of its MicroBurst® service and its partnership with more than 30 North American wireless carriers, AerFrame delivers rugged, real-time managed data delivery for mission critical applications, combining always-on connectivity with the ability to utilize high bandwidth services as needed to upgrade software in the field, open a video channel to verify an alarm or fix a bug in devices deployed throughout North America. AerFrame's dedicated network operating centers provide access, connectivity and managed data delivery across disparate networks, such as CDMA, GSM, AMPS, satellite, Wi-Fi or wireline.

AerFrame seamlessly integrates customer solutions into a network infrastructure which serves the unique communications requirements of industries such as telematics, transportation, security and mobile asset tracking. Aeris's development services focus on reducing development costs, with support for .NET environments, standard SOAP (XML) services, CORBA, JAVA, and socket-based communications.

"We developed AerFrame based on our customers' unique communications requirements - always-on, reliable connectivity and on-demand access to higher bandwidth services," said Dick Gossen, president and CEO of Aeris.net.

Aeris.net currently has more than 100 customers' applications operating on its network, with many more under development. As an example, QUALCOMM, pioneer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, utilizes AerFrame in support of its T2™ Untethered TrailerTRACS® asset management solution.

"Our customers expect high-quality, reliable products, applications and services from QUALCOMM," said Tom Doyle, vice president of business development for QUALCOMM Wireless Business Solutions. "The AerFrame platform helps us to maximize coverage and redundancy in a very cost-effective way for our T2 asset management solution."
