InnerWireless Expands Senior Executive Team To Strengthen In-Building Wireless Market Expertise

David Julin Joins InnerWireless as Senior Vice President of Sales; Follows Appointment of Tim Kinnear as CFO and Annette Gieseman as VP of Marketing

Richardson, Texas – July 29, 2002 – InnerWireless, an in-building wireless systems and services company, has added David Julin as senior vice president of sales. The announcement coincides with InnerWireless' successful closure of a $7 million follow-on financing, provided by leading venture capital investment firm Rho Ventures, increasing the total amount of equity financing to date to $25 million.

Julin, who was recruited from Ericsson in July, will lead InnerWireless' sales efforts in the enterprise, wireless carrier, and real estate markets. He has more than 30 years experience in sales and strategic partnership development in the industry with some of the largest equipment manufacturers in the United States. His expertise in direct sales, sales management and business development management, as well as strong relationships with wireless service providers and enterprises soundly positions InnerWireless to realize its growth plan and continue leading the in-building wireless market.

"Dave is a proven industry veteran, and his superb sales track record speaks for itself," said InnerWireless President and CEO Ed Cantwell. "His extensive expertise in wireless product sales and in-depth knowledge of our target markets and customers is invaluable to InnerWireless. We are fortunate to have Dave as a key member of our senior management team and heading our sales efforts."

Keeping to its strategy of strengthening the company's leadership team with the industry’s best professionals, InnerWireless recently added Tim Kinnear as chief financial officer and Annette Gieseman as vice president of marketing. Kinnear brings senior executive experience in both private and publicly-held companies. Most recently he led the successful extension of InnerWireless' private equity financing, which resulted in $7 million in additional funding. Previously he was CEO of Intrusion Inc., a publicly-held network security company, and CFO at Cyrix Corp., where he was instrumental in the company's $32 million initial public offering and raised more than $200 million in funding.

A veteran of the telecommunications industry with more than 20 years of marketing and management experience, Gieseman will carve out InnerWireless’ position at the forefront of the in-building wireless industry as it emerges and evolves. Prior to joining InnerWireless she was vice president of marketing with venture-backed wireless start-ups such as Xybridge Technologies and ComSpace Corporation, and vice president of Intelligent Networks at Nortel Networks.

Julin, Kinnear and Gieseman join an established team of respected industry leaders led by Ed Cantwell, president and CEO; Darla Braun, COO; Jim McCoy, CTO; and Chris McCoy, SVP Corporate Development.
