SMART To Provide Full ITU V.34/V.Fast 28.8 Kbps Standard, High-Speed Fax
Modem Communications For The Mobile User SMART To Add Unique Value To
Performance, Reliability And Low-Power Requirements By Providing
Solid-State Line Interface Circuitry

Las Vegas, NV -- November 14, 1994 -- SMART Modular Technologies, Inc.,
today announced a full V.34/V.Fast dual standard 28.8 Kbps PCMCIA fax
modem to provide mobile computer users with the world's highest speed and
smallest package integrated data/fax modem, capable of supporting data
rates of up to 28.8 Kbps.

SMART's V.34/V.Fast 28.8 Kbps PCMCIA fax modem can transmit data reliably
at speeds 100 percent above V.32bis to meet PC market demands for highest
speed modem capabilities for internetworking and file transfer
applications. In addition, SMART's V.34/V.Fast fax modem is fully
backward-compatible to the installed base of over one million V.Fast fax
modems designed and purchased prior to the full ITU V.34 standard.

Also, the SMART V.34/V.Fast 28.8 Kbps fax/modem features unique,
solid-state line interface circuitry, enabling better performance, greater
reliability and lower power requirements than other V.34 fax modems with
traditional line interfaces.

"Our goal with our V.34/V.Fast 28.8 Kbps fax/modem product offering was to
wait so that we could provide our customers with a fully ITU- standard
product. Equally important, we insisted on making life as easy as possible
for our customers who need to communicate with others who purchased
pre-standard V.Fast, 28.8 Kbps modems. Also, in keeping with our tradition
of developing value-added PCMCIA products, SMART greatly enhanced the
standard line interface offered by other V.34 vendors. This unique
development improvement affords users greater performance and reliability
than they can expect from other V.34/V.Fast 28.8 Kbps products on the
market," said Ajay Shah, president of SMART Modular Technologies, Inc.

PRICE & AVAILABILITY

SMART's V.34/V.Fast 28.8 Kbps fax modem will ship in the U.S. in December,
1994. It will ship in Europe during Q1, 1995. The U.S. retail pricing is
set at $449.00.
