                      Cellport 3000 Voice Command System
                 Provides Driver Convenience and Flexibility

    BOULDER, Colo., July 16 In a major move to improve the
ability of consumers to use personal cell phones in their vehicles, Cellport
Systems, a leading provider of automotive wireless communications technologies
and products, today announced that Ford Motor Company will be the
first automaker to offer the Cellport 3000(TM) with Voice Command, a
breakthrough universal, voice-activated hands-free system that allows a driver
to operate a cell phone while keeping both hands on the wheel and eyes on the
road.
    The new Cellport 3000 with Voice Command product, also announced today,
uses speaker-independent voice recognition, enabling any driver to use simple
English commands to place or answer calls on their cell phones without having
to look at or touch the phone.  The system's patented Universal Docking
Station and phone-specific Pocket Adapters accommodate cell phones of various
makes and models.  This means that drivers can dock different cell phone
models to take advantage of voice-activated, hands-free operation.  Now all
family members can use their own preferred cell phones while driving, without
the bother or expense of installing different car kits.
   "Ford Motor Company is excited to offer the Cellport 3000 with Voice
Command as the only universal, hands-free system that provides consumers with
the added flexibility to use their own brand of cell phone," said Janine Bay,
managing director, Global Vehicle Personalization, Automotive Consumer
Services Group for Ford Motor Company.  "Cellport will work with Wingcast,
Ford's telematics venture with Qualcomm, to develop future technologies for
our customers."
    Ford Motor Company will begin offering the Voice Command product starting
later this year for many 2002 model year vehicles.
    "Cellport's business model is built on creating safe in-vehicle hands-free
systems," said Doug Daniels, vice president of business development for
Cellport Systems.  "Our work with Ford is a key part of our goal to address
consumers' needs for convenient, hands-free automotive wireless communications
by providing a state-of-the-art solution."
    "Ford's decision to adopt Cellport's universal plug-and-play, hands-free
cell phone solution demonstrates Ford's commitment to maximizing customer
satisfaction," said Jonathan Lawrence, vice president and senior telematics
and location-based services analyst for Dain Rauscher Wessels.  "With the
majority of the 600 million wireless phones being used today in vehicles, and
with the growth in cell phone safety legislation both in the U.S. and abroad,
there is an opportunity for the global hands-free market to grow from
$3 billion today to over $9 billion in the next five years."
