Press Release - August 27, 2004 Quorum Systems Appoints Steve Brown as Vice President of Product Management SAN DIEGO, Calif.-August 27, 2004 - Following its recent company launch and the introduction of a single-chip WiFi/GSM transceiver, Quorum Systems today announced the appointment of Steve Brown as vice president of product management. Brown, with over 17 years of experience in the wireless industry, will be responsible for taking the QC2530 into production in the first quarter of 2005, as well as managing the company's new product development and overall strategy for the company's product roadmap. "The recent introduction of the QC2530 achieved our goal of designing a unique and very high quality single-chip transceiver that enables simultaneous operation of cellular and Wi-Fi technologies," stated Bernard Xavier, president and CEO of Quorum Systems. "Now we need to take this technology leap to the next level and we're delighted that Steve has joined the team to guide the product to reach its full potential." Prior to joining Quorum Systems, Brown was vice president of product marketing and business development for Silicon Wave. In addition, he has served in a number of management and design roles for companies such as Uniden, Pacific Communication Sciences and Philips. "I am very excited to be joining the experienced team already at Quorum Systems. This is a very compelling product that appeals to the rapidly emerging convergence cell-phone market," said Brown. "There are several recent examples of new WiFi and GSM product launches, which clearly indicate the direction of the market. With the QC2530, Quorum Systems is ideally positioned to benefit from this market direction and the huge revenue associated with it. There is a very bright future for both product and company." About the QC2530 The Quorum Connection (QC) 2530 is a highly integrated radio frequency (RF) transceiver that is able to support both wireless local area network (WLAN) and Quad Band GSM cellular applications simultaneously. It integrates 802.11b/g WLAN and cellular GSM/GPRS/EDGE technologies in a single die to offer smallest footprint, lowest bill-of-materials and manufacturing costs, and superior user experience when compared to today's multiple chip approach. This is achieved using Quorum's Multi-Access Technology (QMAT) underlying proprietary intellectual property (IP), which allows the radio resource to be shared, enabling multi-mode functionality while reusing passive and silicon real estate. Also as a result of the QMAT technology, interference, which previously led to large, expensive handsets and the delayed adoption of multi-mode radio band technology in handhelds, has been eliminated in the QC2530 multi-mode single-chip transceiver. Handsets built around the QC2530 enable carriers to provide small form factor handsets with a seamless user experience across WiFi and cellular service. This provides several benefits for carriers, such as the ability to offload capacity in peak periods and in congested areas like airports and convention centers; extend the reach of cellular networks to homes and within office building using Voice-over-WLAN; offer and supply data services via WiFi "hot-spots;" and deliver wireless Voice-Over-IP connectivity and seamless voice roaming across WiFi and cellular networks.
