  WEST LAFAYETTE, IN, May 18 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Broadband Antenna Tracking Systems, Inc., (BATS) announced today that it
has signed an agreement with MEconnect for distribution of BATS' products
throughout the Middle East and Africa.

    BATS (www.batswireless.com) has innovative technology that automatically
locates, locks and tracks broadband communication access points with
continuous bandwidth optimization. It is ideal for rapid deployment or
extension of wireless networks.

    "We are anxious to expand our footprint into the Middle East and Africa,"
said Bob Peterson, BATS Chief Executive Officer. "MEconnect is the premier
distributor of satellite and wireless communications equipment in that
region. The company has tremendous business acumen, support and service,
all of which are valued by its customers."

    Among other attributes, BATS technology solves the unique problems
resulting from limited technical resources and thereby provides
significant cost savings with the elimination of man hours associated
with manual redirection. The BTS-2500 system consists of a modular
computer-controlled positioning unit along with the hardened Antenna
Control Unit (ACU) or Rack Mount Control Unit (RMCU).

    "We have had security agencies, governments, oil and gas companies and
others ask for a system that has the functionality to quickly establish,
maintain and continuously optimize a network connection between two fixed
or mobile wireless broadband access points," said Georges El Gemayel,
MEconnect Managing Director. "We look forward to getting the BATS solution
into their hands."
