FatPort Corporation and Mobitus Announce Merger

VANCOUVER BC, CANADA - (December 11, 2001): FatPort Corporation has announced that Mobitus Communications will be merging its operations with FatPort and operating under the FatPort brand. Under the terms, the Mobitus Communications division and its assets, including existing deployments and strategic relationships, will become part of FatPort.

The Mobitus Communications project has provided customers of the premium coffee shop market segment access to the Internet using Mobitus' wireless broadband network. With partners Radiant Communications & 3Com Canada, Mobitus has deployed broadband wireless access points at both Seattle's Best Coffee and Blenz Coffee in Yaletown, allowing customers with wireless-ready laptops, Pocket PCs & other Wi-Fi-enabled portable devices to stay connected while out of the office. Customers in these locations are able to check information on the Internet, download e-mail and even access their corporate networks at speeds 300 times faster than is currently available with wireless modems.

FatPort provides the systems and infrastructure that allows broadband wireless access providers to generate revenue for their services, and equally important, allows customers of one network to roam seamlessly on another network while providing revenue to both network providers.

"I am thrilled to have come to this agreement with FatPort, the leaders in this particular space. This merger will give both our groups access to more resources than before, allowing us to build a successful organization faster and more efficiently," said Michael Kuhlmann, President and CEO of Mobitus. "I am thoroughly looking forward to working with the people at FatPort and am excited about the synergies this merger represents."

"The FatPort business model is based on one thing," says Sean O'Mahony CEO of FatPort orporation, "that is enabling our customers to generate revenue from the opportunity that broadband wireless represents. There is no doubt that this is one of the most exciting spaces in technology at the moment but unless revenue generation is part of the model from the outset then providers are unlikely to succeed."
