NEW WHEEL TECHNOLOGY AT A GLANCE

The future of communications in business and entertainment lies in the ability to deliver bandwidth-hungry multimedia applications such as video, voice, and data services over existing copper infrastructures. As the call for these applications from consumers and B2B economies intensifies, which it clearly has, unprecedented opportunities emerge for companies offering solutions to the logjam at the heart of the “last mile”. New Wheel Technology, Inc. intends to capitalize on these opportunities by offering core technology to the companies that provide application services to suit these needs.

New Wheel Technology, Inc. is a development stage telecommunications company that is developing breakthrough digital transmission technology over copper wire, including 26 and 24 gauge telephone lines and other metallic media, and provides convergance with Local Area Network (LAN) cable. The Company is developing core technology, equipment, and IC-based solutions that address specific areas of need within the following telecommunications market segments:

Telephony/WAN (Wide Area Network)
LAN (Local Area Network)
xDSL
Additionally, the Company is evaluating the viability of offering its core technology to industrial/commercial and military market segments, which are now typically being served with fiber optic technologies. While all of these markets have differing technological needs that are industry-specific, the basic requirements remain the same:

Send digital information farther and faster;
Utilize inexpensive, if not existing, infrastructure;
Lower the cost of implementation
Also required of companies planning to offer solutions that satisfy the above are the following:

IC's or Equipment designed for fast and easy installation and deployment;
Interoperability for multiple vendors and platforms;

With the focus of the Company squarely on the above, the vision of New Wheel Technology is to bring the world’s fastest copper data communications solutions to market with speed and efficiency and establish a leadership position at the forefront of high-speed communications technology.

About Cu@OCx…

Cu@OCx is a patent pending metallic transmission technique, which provides longer-range digital transmission for any given data rate. Cu@OCx digital transmission equipment is designed to work on existing telephone and local area network cabling; either twisted copper pairs or coaxial cable.

The Company's initial product offerings will focus on two market segments each characterized by large market size and immediate needs. The first planned product offering will be for the Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) markets.

The first product planned for deployment is expected to be 52 Mbps VDSL equipment, consisting of line cards for existing DSLAMs at the telephone central office and modem cards for customer premises equipment.

In addition to ADSL and VDSL, a series of OCx products are planned for development that will allow wide deployment of SONET access service (OC rates) via existing telephone cable and building wire. These SONET rates are not currently available over wire and cable.

OC1, 51.84 Mbps, Cu@OCx range – 9,000 feet
Other SONET rates planned for development
OC3, 155.52 Mbps
OC12, 622.08 Mbps
Other SONET rates being researched
OC48, 2.488 Gbps
The first OCx product planned is equipment for extending OC1 over copper; it will be packaged in both single and multiple circuit products.

Local Area Network products with extended ranges, over 1000 feet, are also being developed to fit the Ethernet rate structure. Additionally a LAN switch is being developed to complement the high speed LAN transmission ability.


About the New Wheel Founders

New Wheel Technology, Inc. was formed by Allan Blevins and Michael Shepperd in 1999 as an R & D telecommunications company. Armed with more than 50 years combined experience in the telephony and telecommunications industry, Blevins and Shepperd developed a concept for extending the range of current broadband transmission rates over copper. Since that time, Blevins and Shepperd have secured necessary financial resources to develop the concept and successfully taken their concept through initial testing stages.

Ownership

On February 14, 2000, New Wheel Technology, Inc. was acquired by New Visual Entertainment, Inc., a publicly held company with a history in special venue film production and distribution. New Visual’s common stock is currently traded on the OTC.BB under the symbol NVEI, though the company applied for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market, small cap exchange in June of 2000.
