U.S. Wireless Partners with Iteris, Inc. to Market Traveler Information Systems Nationwide

    SAN RAMON, Calif., March 1 -- U.S. Wireless Corporation
, a leading wireless location information
company, has signed an agreement with Iteris, Inc., a subsidiary of Odetics,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ODETA, ODETB) and leading supplier of intelligent transportation
systems, to jointly market location-enhanced traffic systems and services
nationwide.
    "We are very pleased to be working with Iteris," said Uday Nagendran,
director of ITS for U.S. Wireless.  "Our relationship will enable us to offer
our ITS technology to a greater number of clients within the Transportation
industry.  By combining our real-time traffic monitoring capability with
Iteris's expertise in traffic information delivery, we have formed a team
capable of marketing a much more valuable and attractive product than either
company could have provided independently."
    This Iteris/U.S. Wireless alliance is designed to meet the growing demand
for improved real-time information on traffic conditions.  The two companies
will collaborate to design real-time, highly accurate, cost effective traveler
information systems that can be applied throughout the nation. The systems
will enable a variety of personalized traveler information services including
real-time congestion and traffic reports, "best route" information, and
location-enhanced traveler updates and alerts.
    "Drivers desire information on travel times as well as locations of
traffic incidents, which this project will provide through the unique new
approach of using vehicles as traffic probes.  This relationship brings us
closer to our vision of providing travelers with significantly improved
personalized real-time traveler information," said Ed Rowe, senior vice
president of Iteris.
    The new information systems will combine software developed by Iteris to
aggregate traffic information including vehicle speed and location data
supplied by the U.S. Wireless RadioCamera(TM) system.
    "Our software, Internet knowledge and expertise in traveler information
systems combined with the real-time traffic data supplied by U.S. Wireless,
has produced a new synthesis," said Rowe.  "By using vehicles as probes,
real-time traffic information can be supplied more accurately, efficiently and
economically than previously possible."

    U.S. Wireless Corporation
    U.S. Wireless is powering the next generation of instant wireless
information services.  Through a national network of wireless location
