Intheairnet Buys Passenger Networks, LLC
Airborne Digital Cabin Pioneers Link Networks With Platforms

(Irvine, CA) April 5, 2002. Intheairnet, LLC agreed today to purchase substantially all of
the assets of Passenger Networks, LLC, a manufacturer of airborne digital platforms
including servers, satellite antenna systems, and cabin software applications such as imap,
a moving map program for passengers. Passenger Networks has delivered next generation
equipment for Connexion by Boeing programs, and corporate aviation aircraft enabling
passengers to use office applications and follow their routes with moving map.

Michael J. Rogerson, Chairman & CEO of Intheairnet, explains the companies fit as, "Our
industry reached an inflection point on September 11, 2001, and now you have arguably
the two pioneers of the airborne digital cabin getting together instead of being swallowed
up by one of the establishment biggies." Both companies are part of the industry's effort
to couple cabin entertainment to the new technologies like broadband and wireless. This
will enable airborne passengers to enjoy satellite TV, surf the web, and keep track of
their email.

Intheairnet has developed a digitally based architecture (patents pending) that changes
the traditional closed proprietary systems approach of airborne cabin equipment
manufacturers into an open architecture that connects digital devices of others, as well
as its own products. This means that now the best of ground technology can be adapted
for applications in commercial, corporate and military aircraft.

Larry Girard, formerly president of Passenger Networks, and new President & COO of
Intheairnet observed, "This is terrific for our employees, and with Intheairnet's strengths
in digital networks, manufacturing capabilities, and customer support, it helps bring our
customers the world class performance they expect.

Intheairnet, headquartered in Irvine, CA, manufactures airborne digital networks including
satellite antenna systems, servers, routers, receivers, wireless distribution, and passenger
displays. Customers include aircraft manufacturers, airlines, and modification centers
worldwide.
