FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 13, 2001

Micronetics Introduces Products to Test Digital Broadcast Systems.
San Jose, CA -- (BUSINESSWIRE) - February 13, 2001 -- Micronetics Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ/NOIZ) announced today that it is introducing its IMP-1000 Interference Generator at the Wireless Symposium in San Jose, CA.

Charles Freihofer, Director of Sales, stated "The development of new digital broadcast systems, such as digital video broadcast (DVB), High Definition TV (HDTV), digital radio (XM) and digital satellite services (X-FM) and continued expansion of cable and hybrid fiber coax systems, increase the need to simulate conditions that cause interference. In order for the chipset and equipment manufacturers and service providers to fully understand the destructive effects of impulsive noise and to improve the performance of these systems, these manufacturers need to simulate and inject interference signals into their systems. By understanding the cause and effect of this interference, these manufacturers can build countermeasures into their products to optimize the performance of their products."

"The need to understand and cancel interference has always been desirable for signal providers of analog signals. With digital signal providers, however, this desirability becomes a requirement. If an analog TV receives interference, the result will likely be a poor picture or static. If a digital TV receives interference, the result can be no picture at all. Common household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens and garage door openers can cause interference that is significant enough to cancel a digital signal. In order for systems for digital TV, digital radio and digital satellite to reach widespread use, and for existing systems to increase to wider-scale usage, manufacturers will need to improve their systems to enable the systems to counteract impulsive noise requiring test equipment, such as Micronetics' IMP-1000."

Those interested are invited to visit our booth at the Wireless Show in San Jose, where Micronetics is exhibiting through February 15, 2001.
