  SAN MATEO, CA, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
AtHoc, Inc., the pioneer and leader in network-centric emergency
notification systems, today announced the appointment of Admiral Thomas
B. Fargo, USN (Ret.), former Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, to the
company's board of directors.

    Admiral Fargo has been part of the AtHoc team since late 2007, serving as
a member of the company's strategic advisory board. With the appointment
to the AtHoc board of directors, Admiral Fargo broadens his role by
working with the AtHoc executive team and fellow board members to help
set the company's business strategy.

    "After serving as an AtHoc advisor for nearly two years, I welcome the
opportunity to extend my role and work with the AtHoc board to help align
the company with the military's evolving and expanding needs for emergency
notification capabilities," said Admiral Fargo. "As a past naval
commander, I have a vested interest in helping my former colleagues
prepare for critical missions and emergency operations. I look forward to
serving on the AtHoc board and helping address current Department of
Defense, government agency and first responder community needs while also
adding value for AtHoc."

    As the former senior U.S. military commander in East Asia, the Pacific and
Indian Ocean, Admiral Fargo led the largest unified command while
directing the joint operations of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air
Force. He will offer valuable insight across the entire range of AtHoc's
business opportunities.

    Admiral Fargo retired from the military on March 28, 2005, after a
distinguished career serving the U.S. Navy and the Department of Defense.
He was the 20th officer to hold the position of Commander of the U.S.
Pacific Command. He was responsible to the President and the Secretary of
Defense and was the U.S. military representative for collective defense
arrangements in the Pacific.

    "It's an honor to welcome a leader of the caliber of Admiral Fargo to our
board," said Guy Miasnik, president and CEO of AtHoc. "Admiral Fargo's
background and expertise in defense and homeland security will further
strengthen our market position and our ability to continue our significant
growth momentum while assuring in-depth understanding of the requirements
of this market."
