Columbia, Maryland — May 29, 2001: Zeus Wireless, Inc. (www.zeusewireless.com) was recently named by Upside Magazine (www.upside.com) as one of Upside's Hot 100 companies. Upside's 2001 Hot 100 list is its "sixth annual list of the 100 hottest privately held technology companies."
Upside assesses Zeus by saying: Zeus Wireless builds hardware and software that seems to be aimed at allowing other manufacturers to build systems for the remote and process control of devices from wireless products. Think of calling in to a home, office or industrial system, and giving it orders. Even better, it will reach out and tell you if anything from your printer to your electrical-generation plant is about to give you problems. We think there is a big market for such applications, making Zeus our final hot company in the wireless category.
When told of this prestigious award, Robert Fitzgerald, Chief Executive Officer of Young Design, Inc. exclaimed, " We are ecstatic about Upside's recognition of Zeus. During the course of our due diligence on Zeus, we discovered substantial opportunities for Zeus' products. It is great to receive affirmation of our analysis from a prestigious tech-savvy publication like Upside. We believe that as more people learn about Zeus, the sophistication of its staff and the capabilities of its products, the Zeus story is only going to get better." Young Design, Inc. (www.ydi.com) of Falls Church, Virginia recently acquired controlling interest of Zeus.
