Fremont, California, USA, January 22, 2003 - ACTiSYS Corp., a long-time IrDA technology and solution provider, announced the new Fast Connect Development/Test Suite (ACT-IR303FM), for the new IrDA IrFM (IrDA Financial Messaging), Beam and Pay Profile Spec. It is a complete hardware and software suite, targeting IrFM compliant POS (Point of Sale) and PTD (Personal Trusted Device, e.g. cellphone, PDA, e-wallet) developers and manufacturers.

This Fast Connect Development/Test Suite (ACT-IR303FM) is a set of hardware and software products designed to test and debug Fast Connect for IrFM PTD and/or POS under development.

Benefits of ACT-IR303FM Suite:
1) Facilitates testing and debugging of Fast Connect for IrFM PTD and/or POS.
2) Promotes inter-operability of Fast Connect for IrFM PTD and POS.
3) Speeds up the IrDA certification process.
4) Speeds up time to market.

Hardware/Software products Included in the Suite:
1) IrFM PTD Fast Connect Simulator Hardware (IR203L and SW (ACTiLinkPTD).
2) IrFM POS Fast Connect Simulator Hardware (IR223L) and SW (ACTiLinkPOS).
3) Fast Connect Recording Hardware (IR910D) and Software (IR912SW).
4) Fast Connect Recording Analyzer Software (IR913SW).

IrFM PTD Fast Connect Simulator (ACTiLinkPTD and IR203L):
1) This program runs in a PC (not included) and uses a special IrDA dongle (IR203L, included in this Suite) to simulate different kinds of IrFM PTD, performing Fast Connect.
2) Under software control, the simulated PTD (Personal Trusted Device) can use either standard power or low power IrPHY.
3) Under software control, the simulated PTD can use either 1.6 usec or 3/16 bit-time IR pulses.
4) Under software control, the simulated PTD can use either 0xFF or 0xC0 as XBOF when needed.
5) Under software control, the simulated PTD responds to XID from POS with either XID at 9.6 kb/s, XID at 115.2 kb/s, or UA at 115.2 kb/s. (These are the three options defined in Fast Connect.)

IrFM POS Fast Connect Simulator (ACTiLinkPOS and IR223L):
1) This program runs in a PC (not included) and uses a special IrDA dongle (IR223L, included in this Suite) to simulate IrFM POS Fast Connect.
2) The visiting PTD can use either standard power or low power IrPHY.
3) The visiting PTD can use either 1.6 usec or 3/16 bit-time IR pulses.
4) The visiting PTD can use either 0xFF or 0xC0 as XBOF when needed.
5) The visiting PTD can respond with either XID at 9.6 kb/s, XID at 115.2 kb/s, or UA at 115.2 kb/s. (These are the three options defined in Fast Connect.). This simulated POS can auto-detect the data rate and perform Fast Connect accordingly.
6) Under software control, this simulated POS can vary its 1-slot XID polling period between 55 msec and 300 msec as specified in Fast Connect.

Fast Connect Recording Program (ACT-IR912SW and IR910D):
1) This program runs in a PC (not included) and records the conversation between PTD and POS at data rates of 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 57.6, or 115.2 kb/s. (It changes data rate automatically to follow the conversation.)
2) This program uses a special IrDA dongle (ACT-IR910D, Dual-Head IR220L+, included in this Suite) to receive from both the PTD and POS. It never transmits.
3) If there is a collision or if there is IR interference, this program will record an error. The corrupted IR data from either the PTD or POS are lost.
4) This program is aware of the rules specified in IrDA Fast Connection and IrLAP Negotiation Procedures. It will automatically change the data rate of its receivers according to these rules and correctly follow the conversation between the PTD and POS. But if the PTD or POS changes data rate not according to these rules, this program may not be able to follow the conversation after that point.
5) Every byte of IR received is time-stamped and recorded in a binary file.

Fast Connect Recording Analyzer (ACT-IR913SW):
1) This program reads the binary file generated by the Recording Program and transcribes the information into three ASCII text files.
2) The first text file has all the details at the IrPHY level. It shows all the IR bytes received, including IR-noise, XBOF, BOF, byte stuffing, CRC, EOF, etc. It organizes these bytes into IrPHY frames whenever possible. It also includes timing information in msec with 0.1 msec resolution to show inter-frame gaps, inter-byte gaps inside the frame if any, and total transmission time of each frame. CRC is also checked at this level.
3) The second text file has only the details at the IrLAP level. The timing information and frame wrapper are stripped. Proper sequencing of Nr and Ns are checked at this level.
4) The third text file has only the details at the IrLMP level. That is, only the payload of IrLAP I-frame is shown. This includes the IrLMP Destination, IrLMP Source, TinyTP and all upper layer data.
5) All frames in the above 3 text files are assigned arbitrary but unique sequential numbers for easy cross-referencing between these 3 text files.

IrLAP Fast Connect, IrFM Block Diagram: ACT-IR303FM only addresses IrPHY+IrLAP with Fast Connect+IrLMP+TinyTP+IAS+IrFM OBEX Transport. It does not address the other IrFM protocol layers which must be a part of the host system application software: IrFM OBEX/Core IrFM Protocol/Proprietary Services/Core IrFM Services/IrFM Application.

ACT-IR303FM Suite will be available in March 2003 for $6,000 per set and we are taking orders now.

Pre-paid, advance order before March 31, 2003 will benefit a 6% discount.

*** INTRODUCTION TO ACT-IR100M+ *** (May, 3, 2001)

1) It is the smallest and lightest such model on the market: It is smaller and made of plastic/lighter than competitors' and our old model of IR100M made of metal enclosure.

2) This is the only such modular IrDA printer adapter model on the market:

1. A base unit with all electronics & IrDA protocol software, embedded in IR100MB.
2. Special feature: An integral short DB9M cable: i) when connected to our standard RS232 IrDA adapter (IR220L+), it is an IrDA Printer Adapter, IR100M+. ii) When disconnected, You have a PC RS232 adapter, IR220L+.
3. It is IrDA printer and PC-RS232 adapters in ONE modular package.
4. It has CEN36 pass-through connector, automatic switching between IR or cable-based printing.

3) Advantage to customers: They can buy one package, and use it for serial IR transfer or parallel printers. For dealers: they can stock IR100MB and IR220L+ separately depending on the market condition or the whole IR100M+ unit as one package.

4) IR100M+ is more expensive than IR100M, but less than buying IR100M and IR220L+.

5) In addition, the common advantage of ACTiSYS intelligent adapter, serial or parallel adapters over our competitors is described as follows:

1. IrDA protocol embedded in our intelligent adapters, IR100M (printer adapter) and IR100S (RS232 port adapter) is the most compact in the industry and most compliant with IrDA spec.
   
2. When communicating with WindowsME-built-in IrDA protocol driver, our intelligent adapter tend to have 2 : 1 IR transfer speed advantage over our competitions.
3. This is because our protocol is more efficient and more compliant with IrDA specification, therefore, less error rate and much lower percentage of re-send bytes.
4. Any future IrDA enabled mobile devices that are IrDA certified, are guaranteed to be compatible with our intelligent adapters, because it is likely certified with our IrDA tester.

ACTiSYS Corporation News Release

Fremont, California. May 1, 2000:

Dear All:

There have been developments within ACTiSYS and the entire IrDA industry in general that we felt it was time to provide you with an update of recent events.

ACTiSYS is to be well represented in the upper echelons of the IrDA leadership.

At January’s quarterly meeting of the IrDA, held in San Francisco, ACTiSYS’ President Dr Keming Yeh was elected by the 142-member association to Chair the Technical Committee. In a further move, in what turned out to be a highly successful day for ACTiSYS, Chief Technical Officer Dr Lichen Wang was also appointed to Chair the Test & Interoperability Committee of the IrDA. The Marketing Committee is to be chaired by Robert Stuart of Sharp Corp.

It is a rare honor for an organization to have two members of the same company chairing two out of three committee’s within an international standards association simultaneously. These moves are a reflection of the high standing ACTiSYS enjoys within the worldwide IrDA community.

In addition to the recent recognition from the IrDA governing body, Dr Keming Yeh recently chaired a dedicated half-day session on "Wireless Connectivity Solution," addressing areas of  IrDA, Bluetooth, HomeRF and mobile data synchronization at the Portable Design conference, San Diego, January 25-27. This was followed by an evening session of lively panel debate devoted to the implications of the emergence of this technology. Both sessions attracted a full house. Dr Yeh also chaired a similar Wireless Connectivity session at the 7^th Annual Wireless Symposium and Portable by Design Conference in San Jose, Ca., February 22-25.

Each of these prestigious posts increases ACTiSYS visibility in the international technical community and is indicative of the outstanding contribution, technical depth and breadth of ACTiSYS.

In product news: ACTiSYS is now the first company to market with a successful adaptation of an IrDA USB adapter. Both the IrDA and USB parent associations have awarded the ACT-IR2000U its compliance certification, the only such accreditation bestowed world-wide. This new device is ready for a broad market launch in March.

Advance orders from ACTiSYS’ OEM customers have swallowed the entire first production run. Orders are now being taken for the second run, delivery scheduled for early March. Advance orders are recommended and welcomed.

Another unique and popular product is the ACT-IR100S
