Quatech Delivers Industrial-Class 802.11 Wireless Connectivity to ImpressionAire Digital Washroom Advertising System

HUDSON, Ohio --(Business Wire)-- July 25, 2006 -- Quatech Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPAC Technologies Corp. (OTCBB:DPAC) and a leader in embedded 802.11 wireless OEM solutions, today announced that it was selected by Impressionaire, LLC for integration into its digital washroom advertising system.

ImpressionAire installs advertising systems in high profile, high traffic public washrooms and displays high quality digital ads that rotate every few seconds on a high tech 12" flat panel screen. The unique system uses Quatech's Airborne Wireless Ethernet Bridge module to connect to a central server to receive instructions about the advertisements and public service announcements they are to display. The use of 802.11 wireless technology provides a significant cost savings in comparison to having to extend Ethernet cables into washroom facilities.

"Key to our decision to choose Quatech was the instant support and responsiveness that is critical to a new business," said Linda Cordova, President of ImpressionAire. "In addition, quality and performance are paramount in a public access environment and Quatech's products and support team easily meet our requirements."

Another important reason for Quatech's inclusion in the digital washroom advertising system is the Airborne module's industrial class specifications. With extended operating temperatures of -40 degrees to +85 degrees C and added shock and vibration tolerance, the Airborne module withstands the heavy duty and repeated use of ImpressionAire's full-featured hand dryer.

"As a leading supplier in machine-to-machine connectivity, Quatech is pleased our 802.11 wireless technology was chosen for such an innovative system," said Steve Runkel, CEO of Quatech. "This is another example of the exploding growth in 802.11 wireless devices being deployed in common, everyday products, and Quatech is well positioned to support that growth."

Quatech supplies its industrial class line of 802.11 wireless device servers, ethernet bridges and embedded 802.11 wireless modules to leading OEMs in the transportation, medical diagnostics, material handling and defense industries. The product line features extended operating temperatures, added shock and vibration tolerance, advanced security standards, compact form factor, low power modes and a five year warranty.

ImpressionAire digital washroom advertising systems deliver ads to two product families, full featured hand dryers and digital display screens, and can be customized for male or female washrooms and even further targeted to specific areas within the venue.
