Advanced Wireless Systems, Inc. Announces Acquisition

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 8 Advanced Wireless Systems, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: AWSS) announced today that it has completed the
acquisition of the RAP Group, Inc., dba The Repo Outlet.  RAP posted gross
revenues of $7.2 million for the year ending December 31, 2000.  The RAP Group
is located in Fulton, California.  The RAP Group is in the business of selling
repossessed automobiles for a number of regional and national lending
institutions and has access to Credit Union Direct Lending Distribution
(CUDL), which is comprised of a matrix system of approximately 140 credit
unions located in California, Oregon and Nevada.  The Repo Outlet also
operates a full facility for preparing the repossessed autos for resale,
including a new car franchise, auto broker's license, and full repair and smog
shop.
    In announcing the acquisition, Stan Wilson, President of Advanced Wireless
Systems, Inc. stated "This is our second acquisition of a profitable company
within the past year and is in keeping with our goal of becoming profitable
through acquisitions of profitable business enterprises."  Previously, the
Company acquired Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc., which is the largest automobile
repossession business in the Northern California area from Sausalito to the
Oregon border.
    Wilson also noted "The combination of RAP and Daybreak should materially
increase profit potentials because revenues generated by both companies stay
within the company as opposed to lending institutions having to hire outside
liquidation services."  He further stated, "Thus the lending institutions are
able to avoid sending repossessed autos to auctions at substantial losses."

    Advanced Wireless Systems, Inc. also owns and operates MMDS
telecommunications systems in Baton Rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana;
Clarksville, Tennessee; Reading, Pennsylvania and Mobile, Alabama.
