Quake Global Announces Two New Dual-Mode Satellite and Terrestrial Modems Available Through Teletouch Communications in the United States

New QUAKE® Q2000-CDMA Modem Launches First During Second Quarter;
Teletouch Integrates Modems into Asset-tracking Products, Obtains U.S. Master Distribution Rights

SAN DIEGO, Calif. and TYLER, Texas - April 5, 2004 - Quake Global Inc. announced the introduction of two dual-mode satellite modems, both of which were created in response to customer demand. They will be available in the United States through Teletouch Communications Inc., which has obtained master distribution rights for the modems. The new QUAKE® Q2000-CDMA modem is scheduled to launch by the end of the second quarter, while the Q2000-GSM modem will be introduced to the market later this year.

Both modems facilitate global wireless communication over Quake Global's connection to a network of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, as well as either the CDMA or GSM networks, making them ideal choices for fleet managers whose tracking systems must be able to access the satellite network when the cellular network is unavailable, and vice versa. The new dual-mode modems automatically switch to the most effective and cost-efficient available network.

The modems offer a host of benefits, including capabilities for dual-network wireless communications, increased performance through reduced latencies, near real-time message delivery, the ability to quickly transfer large amounts of data, satellite back-up for seamless coverage, and higher message delivery rates than any other QUAKE modem previously produced. The fully integrated Q2000-CDMA and Q2000-GSM modems have the same footprint as the QUAKE Q2000 modem.

"The Q2000-CDMA modem is a high-performance solution that represents another example of Quake's role in providing advanced wireless solutions for a rapidly evolving industry," said Polina Braunstein, CEO of Quake Global. "This dual-mode, single-modem platform shows our dedication to our global customers by providing cutting edge, flexible solutions that offer uninterrupted wireless connectivity. Teletouch's vast experience with terrestrial customers will expedite the acceptance of this new product."

"Teletouch wanted to ensure that its customers would have the ability to track their assets no matter what kind of network was most readily available," said J. Kernan Crotty, president of Teletouch Communications, master distributor of the Q2000-CDMA. "By integrating Quake Global's advanced modem into our asset tracking systems, we are able to offer increased capability and efficiency to our customers throughout the United States. We also welcome the opportunity to distribute the Q2000-CDMA to other value added resellers who are looking for the most advanced modems available on the market."

While the Q2000-CDMA and Q2000-GSM will use the ORBCOMM® network of low earth orbit satellites, customers now also can employ wireless service via Verizon and Sprint for CDMA 1xRTT and Cingular and T-Mobile for GSM data services.
