FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Quatech unveils Airborne Performance Embedded 802.11a/b/g Radio Module,
Expands 802.11 technology roadmap

Hudson, OH – June 18, 2007 –  Quatech Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPAC Technologies Corp. (OTCBB:  DPAC) and a leader in 802.11 wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) networking solutions, unveiled the latest advancement in 802.11 technology with the launch of the Airborne Performance Embedded 802.11a/b/g Radio Module. 

The Airborne Performance Embedded Radio Module is the latest in the most advanced line of 802.11 radios for reliable, high performance WiFi networking. This addition adds 802.11a/b/g dual band radio technology and enterprise-class security.  With its flexible small form factor, CompactFlash, SDIO and Bluetooth Coexistance interfaces, the radio enables users to integrate the latest WiFi technology utilizing a solution designed specifically for M2M, medical and telematics applications. 

The Performance 802.11a/b/g radio has been developed to support the extended temperature ranges, rugged environments and small form factors required by today’s harshest applications.  As the next generation of wireless technology, the radio family has been developed in the United States as the next platform in the Airborne radio product family and is the first to offer support in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz ISM bands. 

Taking advantage of an advanced architecture, the radio supports the latest media streaming, roaming, power management and security standards; and has the most flexible system implementation options available on the market.  When it comes to 802.11 wireless communications, security is of the utmost importance.  The Airborne Performance radio’s advanced encryption supports the latest 802.11i security standards and implements WEP, WPA and WPA2 along with a broad range of EAP supplicants.  The family of devices also supports the development of both station and access point applications from a unified platform. 

Designed for the most stringent application demands, the Airborne radio is the most advanced embedded host networking product on the market.  From healthcare to machine-to-machine, telematics and industrial automation, its available drivers and easy configuration allow users to tailor hardware and software to meet desired needs and application demands.  

“The Airborne Performance Radio Module is the next advance in our 802.11 product series,” said Steve Runkel, CEO, Quatech, Inc.  “Quatech was first to market the 802.11b radio, followed by the launch of the industrial-class 802.11b/g solution.  By offering 802.11a technology, we continue to provide leading solutions in support of an emerging market and meet the evolving needs of M2M customers.”
