                WIRELESS RADIO LAN GOES FOUR TIMES FASTER, ADDS
                       INFRARED AND PHONE INTERFACES		

Allen-Bradley Fair 96, Philadelphia, PA --- December 10, 1996 --- Electronic
Systems Technology, Inc. (EST) (OTC: ELST), a manufacturer of wireless 
communications hardware, announced the release of the ESTeem Model 192C,
the newest and fastest member of its growing wireless-data communications
products for commercial and military applications.   

The new ESTeem boasts a radio frequency (RF) data rate twice as fast as current 
technology, while adding infrared and phone interfaces to the radio area 
network (RAN).  The standard infrared communications port will allow the user to
perform local programming and diagnostic functions for the radio network
without interruption of communications over the RAN.  The optional phone port
in the ESTeem allows a communications gateway over existing phone lines
providing remote data access to and from the RAN world wide. The Model 192C
has over 100 software programmable features, including internal
Allen-Bradley(tm) DF1 protocol drivers for direct interfacing to PLC-5, 2, and 
SLC family of controllers. The Model 192C offers over 1,600 software selectable
channels at a data rate of 19,200 bps, 2 to 4 watts RF output in the FCC
licensed frequencies of 450 to 470 MHz.  The narrow band packet burst
transceiver allows networking of 253 devices in high EMF environments on a 
single frequency using the industry standard RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485
asynchronous, full duplex interfaces.  The ESTeem's internal digi-repeating
capability allows routing data through a maximum of three ESTeems to extend the
typical line-of-sight range of 15 miles to approximately 60 miles.
The 12 VDC powered device can be operated from battery or solar panels in
addition to 90-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz with its external power supply for world 
applications.


Electronic Systems Technology, a publicly held corporation since 1984, was
the first company to develop the wireless modem and receive the United States
and Canadian patents for this technology.
