FieldWorks Introduces The Envoy Mobile Data Server

Reliable, advanced, in-vehicle system tailored for public safety professionals

Eden Prairie, Minn., March 12, 2001 - FieldWorks, Inc. (OTC BB: FWRX, a leading provider of rugged, mobile computers, today introduced the EnVoy Mobile Data Server (MDS) - the next evolution of advanced mobile computing technology designed specifically for installation and use in squad cars and other professional service vehicles.

FieldWorks, long a leader in vehicular computing, recently announced that it will change its name to Kontron Mobile Computing Computing, effective April 16, 2001. The EnVoy will be the first new product shipped under the Kontron Mobile Computing Computing company name.

"Like the highly regarded mobile data servers we?ve supplied for years, the EnVoy MDS is designed from the ground up for vehicles - where space is at a premium, safety is a top concern and reliability has to be a given," said Dale Szymborski, director, mobile data business, FieldWorks. "Everything about the EnVoy is tailored with the vehicle and its passengers in mind, which is why it excels in this environment where standard, notebook-based systems can fall short."

With real-time data generation, capture and transmission capabilities now a "must-have" for public safety and other mobile computing applications, the EnVoy MDS has the features that turn a vehicle into a mobile command center. Key features of the EnVoy include:

Powerful processing. The EnVoy?s 500 MHz Intel? Pentium? III processor is FieldWorks? fastest in-vehicle processor used to date.
RAM and removable storage to handle sophisticated applications, with a 6GB, removable hard drive (expandable to 20GB), 128MB of DRAM (upgradeable to 256MB) with 4MB of video DRAM.
?Round-the-clock readability with a daylight- and sunlight-readable, 10.4-inch, 800 x 600 SVGA, 1000 NIT display and a full-sized keyboard with nighttime key lighting.
