Business Wire (April 23, 2001)

LAS VEGAS, Apr 23, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- VBrick Systems, Inc. and Texas
Instruments (TI) Incorporated announced today that the companies will demonstrate an
innovative wireless network developed by TI at the National Association of Broadcasters
(NAB) Conference and Exhibition, here. The companies said that they will demonstrate
streaming MPEG2 video, delivered by VBricks, over TI's optical wireless network. The
demonstration will be presented in the VBrick booth, #M9368, during the show.

"VBrick is excited about this technology demonstration. It will highlight not only the
advances in wireless networking, but will demonstrate how organizations can use
today's extremely high-quality video, over wireless or regular Ethernet networks to
improve communications, enhance education and streamline processes," said Rich
Mavrogeanes, president, chairman and founder of VBrick Systems, Inc. "This is a great
illustration of the simplicity with which high-value visual communications applications
can be created using these newer technologies," Mr. Mavrogeanes continued.

"High quality video products such as those from VBrick can take advantage of more
bandwidth than most wireless networking approaches can provide. The ability to rapidly
provision a network capable of supporting interactive video-based applications should
lead to exciting new opportunities in the video over packet space," said Jose Melendez,
worldwide manager, Analog MEMS Networking Products, TI.

VBrick products provide a convenient and simple way to improve communications.
Organizations can increase productivity by monitoring assembly lines for reduced
downtime, inform personnel by streaming news and information directly to their PCs,
reduce costs by training personnel and educating students remotely and enhance
security by observing critical areas with high-quality surveillance.

TI's Optical Wireless Solutions reference design allows system developers to wirelessly
deploy dedicated 100 Mbps 802.3 compliant Ethernet connections -- 100 times greater
than currently available wireless systems. This development expands the multi-billion
dollar market for companies building systems or delivering services that harness optical
networking technology, enabling high-speed broadband access networks for homes and
offices. (See http://www.ti.com/sc/alp).

Used by educators, corporations and broadcasters throughout the country, VBrick's are
ideal for a wide-range of applications. VBrick's low-cost, ease-of-use and high reliability
enables organizations to establish television-quality one-way or two-way visual
communications quickly.
