FUJITSU INTRODUCES STYLISTIC RF WITH FULLY INTEGRATED WIRELESS LOCAL AREA
NETWORK

High-Performance Wireless LAN Capability Expands Fujitsu's Family of
Untethered Mobile Computing and Communications Offerings

SANTA CLARA, Calif., February 27, 1995 -- Continuing its commitment to
provide industry-leading mobile computing solutions, Fujitsu Personal
Systems, Inc. today announced that it has integrated a high-speed wireless
local area network (LAN) into its popular, super portable Stylistic 500
tablet computer. The new Stylistic RF features a fully integrated wireless
LAN adapter utilizing the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) bandwidth recognized around
the world as the standard for wireless data communications. The wireless
LAN enables Fujitsu's Stylistic RF to seamlessly send and receive data for
distances up to 1,000 feet at rates up to 1.6 megabits per second (Mbps)
across 15 independent channels.

Fujitsu has incorporated Proxim, Inc.'s RangeLAN2 wireless LAN adapter into
the enclosed housing of the Stylistic 500 RF. This second-generation
wireless LAN features frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology to
provide interference-free, transparent client/server and peer-to-peer
communications. The Fujitsu design eliminates the clutter of external
cables, antenna housings or mounted hardware. The only evidence of the
internal radio is a small antenna in the upper comer of the system.

The wireless capability is expected to expand the compute-intensive data
collection and decision support capabilities of the Stylistic 500 to
include remote data collection, database updates and file synchronization
capabilities in markets such as insurance, transportation, utilities and
health care. Users will also benefit from the faster data transfer
capabilities in forms-based applications in markets such as retail and
food service.

"At Fujitsu, our goal is to empower mobile computer users by providing them
with the communications infrastructure to access all kinds of data from
any number of sources," said Lou Panetta, executive vice president of
Fujitsu Personal Systems. "Wireless networking capabilities play a key
role here. It is fundamental to our overall strategy to Continually expand
the communications capabilities of our systems, and the industry-leading
throughput, coverage and mobility of our second-generation wireless LAN
design gives our systems a definite edge over competitive products."

Stylistic RF

Measuring 7.2" x 10.7" x 1.5", the Stylistic RF is a 2.8-pound tablet PC
powered by an Intel 486DX2-50 CPU. The base computer features parallel,
serial, keyboard and floppy disk drive ports; four MB of RAM expandable to
20 MB; a Type I/II/III PCMCIA version 2.0 expansion slot; an 8-inch
transmissive backlit, 64-level VGA screen; and support for an external VGA
monitor. The tablet supports MS-DOS 6.2, Windows for Pen Computing, PenDOS
and PenRight operating systems. It is the only tablet computer to operate
on standard Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries, which can be purchased in most
consumer retail outlets.

Proxim's RangeLAN2 is based on frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology
in the 2.4 - 2.483 GHz band. RangeLAN2 delivers an uncompressed data rate
of 1.6 Mbps per channel across 15 channels, enabling operation of multiple
wireless LANs in the same space. RangeLAN2 operates at a distance of up to
500 feet in normal office locations and up to 1000 feet in open spaces.
RangeLAN2 supports transparent access to most standard LAN operating
systems, including NetWare, NetWare Lite, LAN Manager and Windows for
Workgroups.

The Stylistic RF tablet computer will be available in the first quarter
1995 and will include a 105MB PCMCIA hard drive, MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows
for Pen Computing.
