Extended Systems Provides Bluetooth Wireless Protocol Software for Xircom's 
Next-Generation Products

Boise, ID - (Nov 30, 2000) Extended Systems (Nasdaq: XTND), a leading provider of mobile data management and wireless connectivity solutions, announced today an agreement designed to introduce Bluetooth technology in Xircom's next-generation products. As part of this corporate-wide agreement, Xircom has licensed XTNDAccess Blue SDK, Extended Systems' multi-purpose software development kit (SDK) for implementing Bluetooth wireless protocols in handheld devices. 

"A technology alliance with Xircom and their established presence in the retail market enables us to extend Bluetooth wireless connectivity to more users than ever before," said Extended Systems CEO and president Steve Simpson. "Combined with our support for more user profiles than any other protocol stack on the market, Xircom can enter a broad set of new markets as well, and reduce development costs and accelerate time-to-market." 

XTNDAccess Blue SDK has been qualified by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) for the following user profiles: General Access, Serial Port, Object Push, Dial-up Networking, LAN Access, FAX, Cordless Telephony, Headset, and Intercom. The protocol stack works independent of a processor or operating system (OS), so the licensee's development team is free to choose whichever OS or hardware provider best meets their needs. Because Extended Systems' kit features a multi-transport OBEX module, licensees can develop products that support wired and/or wireless transports- including Bluetooth, IrDA infrared and serial- within the same device. 

"We selected Extended Systems' SDK because of its small code size, portability, reliability and the company's experience in working with industry leaders," said Fred Kern, senior director of marketing, Access Products Business Unit for Xircom. "Our agreement with Extended Systems will ensure that Xircom stays atop the latest Bluetooth advancements to provide mobile users the most current wireless capabilities."
