Time Domain Announces Launch of SoldierVision™ Kick Off Meeting Draws Several Branches of Military Huntsville, AL, July 26, 2001 - Time Domain Corporation, a worldwide leader in Ultra Wideband (UWB), will host representatives from the U.S. Army, U.S.Air Force and U. S. Marine Corps at its headquarters today for the formal project launch of SoldierVision, a low power through-wall surveillance device that is being developed for use in urban combat situations. During the launch meeting, U.S. Army customers will solidify execution of the project while representatives of the other Services evaluate SoldierVision's utility throughout the joint team. SoldierVision, a $3 million Department of Defense contract recently awarded to Time Domain,could enhance military readiness and force protection by providing accurate information about the enemy's location, especially in an urban environment. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to showcase our Ultra Wideband technology to these key U.S. military customers and to explore further applications for SoldierVision and through-wall radar in general," said Colonel (R) Will Webb, Senior Vice President, Government - Defense Group,Time Domain Corporation. "This project would not be possible without the visionary and proactive assistance of Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions and Congressmen Robert Aderholt and Bud Cramer. We would like to acknowledge their efforts to bolster Alabama's technology economy and strengthen our national security." "I was glad to support the SoldierVision project and am pleased with the great work Time Domain continues to do on this and other projects important to the Department of Defense and our national security," said U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-Alabama). "Time Domain is providing tomorrow's combat technologies to today's warfighter," said U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama). "New technologies to help our soldiers locate the enemy can provide a decisive advantage on the battlefield. "U.S. Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Alabama) noted, "This technology moves us towards being able to detect motion through walls. This is very important to the goal of keeping our warfighters safe as they operate increasingly in urban combat areas, such as the Bosnia and Kosovo operations. In partnership with other Members of Congress, I have been pleased to support this new technology both in funding and in regulatory matters for over three years. I salute the persistence and professionalism of Time Domain and will continue to support their efforts to improve our military capabilities." "This is great news for Time Domain and North Alabama's high-tech reputation. Time Domain has a firm grasp on the cutting edge of defense technology and I am pleased that I could help with this contract, which could solidify Time Domain's success," said U.S. Congressman Bud Cramer(D-Alabama). "I am impressed with the versatility of this technology. It will not only assist in critical military operations by allowing soldiers tohave through-wall vision - it can also work to locate earthquake victims through rubble. "SoldierVision will be developed using Time Domain's patented PulsON® technology which is also being incorporated into the company's commercial through-wall motion detection product, RadarVision®, that will provide law enforcement and rescue personnel with data about the movements of people through walls.

IBM's SiGe processcan allow Time Domain to integrate its UWB technology into a chipset that can be sold to strategic partners and deployed in next generation wireless applications. Time Domain has selected IBM to manufacture SiGe wafers for two key chip components, the Timer and the Correlator, that are part of the Time Domain PulsON 200 chipset. "IBM was the first chip-maker to introduce a silicon germanium process technology," stated Steve Rowles, Vice President, Silicon Development."IBM's leading-edge SiGe manufacturing process offers the optimized performance and enhanced speeds required by our state-of-the-art PulsON technology." IBM has already successfully produced the first generation PulsON Timer and Correlator devices using its advanced SiGe process technology. Those chips have been incorporated in the PulsON Application Demonstrators, a proof-of-concept design that allows potential partners to evaluate PulsON technology for integration into their products. Time Domain developed the PulsON chipset using the underlying architecture of its patented Time Modulated- Ultra Wideband (TM-UWB). PulsON fuses three wireless capabilities onto a single chipset: communications, radar and tracking and has the potential to deliver significant performance improvements to a large number of wireless devices. Using precisely timed pulses instead of traditional sine waves, PulsON sends millions of time-coded pulses across a wide swath of spectrum. Data is transmitted at very high speeds, covertly, and at low emitted power, while providing robust indoor performance and high bandwidth per user. "Time Domain has joined a growing number of innovative communications companies whose products demand the versatile integration and performance capabilities of IBM's SiGe process," said Dr. Gary Patton, Director of Wireless Products for IBM Microelectronics. "We look forward to supplying the advanced chip technology that will enable Time Domain to introduce the next-generation PulsON 200 chipset." The PulsON 200 chipset is expected to be available early 2001. About Time Domain Corporation Time Domain Corporation, the worldwide leader in the development of Ultra Wideband technology, has developed and patented the breakthrough wireless technology called PulsON©. This revolutionary technology fuses communications, radar and tracking capabilities into a PulsON® chipset that will deliver magnitudes of improvement in wireless performance and will enable entirely new products and industries. PulsON® is based on the architecture of Ultra Wideband (UWB), which was developed by Larry Fullerton, the company's founder. Time Domain is teaming with commercial and government partners to deploy the PulsON® chipset, which will be integrated into their products. Time Domain holds the premier patent portfolio for UWB™ technology, with more than 200 patents awarded or filed worldwide. TimeDomain, a privately-held corporation, is headquartered in Cummings Research Park in Huntsville, Alabama with offices in Washington, D.C. and Orlando,Florida.
