VIVATO APPOINTS DONALD STALTER AS NEW CEO

SAN FRANCISCO, California - January 30, 2004 - Vivato, a wireless infrastructure systems company, today appointed technology veteran Donald Stalter as CEO.

Previously, Stalter served as the chief operating officer for Terawave Communications. During that time he led the company in the deployment of advanced optical and wireless technologies and significantly increased Terawave's market presence, despite difficult economic conditions in the telecommunications industry. Additionally, as senior
vice president of marketing and business development for Terawave, Stalter helped to secure more than $100 million in funding and introduced Terawave's solutions to CATV, ISP's, telecom and enterprise customers worldwide.

Stalter also held the position of vice president and general manager of the digital transport division at ADC Telecommunications. In this role Stalter worked closely with system operators to develop the most powerful and versatile digital transport system in the market. He also helped to build an installed customer base that eclipsed all ADC
competitors. Stalter also managed a worldwide business unit for Nortel from the United Kingdom.

"Donald's track record of management successes within world class telecommunications suppliers Nortel and ADC Telecommunications, combined with his extensive marketing and sales experience, provide the perfect combination to establish Vivato as the premier Wi-Fi large area coverage system provider," said Geoff Baehr, U.S. Venture Partners and chairman of Vivato's board of directors.

"I look forward to building on the contributions that Ken Biba has made. For customers that need to cover large, diverse areas with Wi-Fi service, such as hotels, schools, seaports, cities, and airports, Vivato's line of products provide many times the coverage and range of alternative technologies, at a substantially lower price," said Stalter. "We are fully funded through breakeven and my goal is to lead the company toward long-term sustainable growth while continuing to uphold the entrepreneurial vision and innovative engineering that inspired our early progress."
