USA Mobility Introduces I-LAND, A Campus-Based Private Messaging Solution

Initially Targeted for Hospital Campuses and Local Governments, I-LAND Offers
The Speed of In-House Messaging with the Broad Coverage of Traditional Paging
Networks
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(Business Wire)--
USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging and
communications services, today announced the availability of a campus-based
two-way messaging network, called I-LAND, which provides fast two-way messaging
throughput within a campus area combined with the ability for users to roam onto
the Company`s wide-area network when off campus.

Initially targeted for larger hospital facilities and local governments, I-LAND
eliminates the need for hospitals to use separate wireless networks, one for
time-critical in-house messaging, such as code messages, and another for paging
applications where broad coverage is more important. The I-LAND system is
compliant with HIPAA regulations that ensure patient privacy.

Hospitals and local governments require fast throughput for much of their
electronic communication so they can communicate quickly to first responders and
other emergency personnel in cases of natural disasters, public safety issues
and events affecting the public infrastructure. When using public wireless
networks, these critical messages must compete with other public messaging
traffic, often causing delays in transmission, especially in cases of emergency
and disaster events that cause a spike in all forms of public messaging.

The I-LAND solution offers hospitals and local governments the advantages of a
private dedicated messaging system to ensure fast throughput at all times. In
addition, users are able to roam outside the boundaries of the private system
onto USA Mobility`s wide-area network, which offers the largest geographical
paging coverage in the United States.

Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer, said: "At a time when
local governments are facing tight budget constraints, they are now able to
implement a private messaging system covering their jurisdiction that will
cost-effectively satisfy their need for fast emergency messaging. And, in doing
so, they will be able to avoid the capital and operating expenses of building
and managing an in-house paging capability." Kelly added that USA Mobility plans
to beta test I-LAND at a large hospital during the fourth quarter and to deploy
the service nationwide in the first quarter of 2010.

Kelly said I-LAND combines the benefits of a private network with the advantages
of an extensive nationwide network, including reliability, broad coverage,
message delivery acknowledgement, high-quality service, and access to skilled
technical support. "In addition," Kelly noted, "USA Mobility`s comprehensive
paging services offer the benefits of interconnectivity among many
communications platforms and providers as well as the latest two-way devices and
transmission equipment. Moreover, our interconnected network ensures that
healthcare and public safety personnel can use their devices whenever they
travel. Plus, unlike in-house paging systems of the past," he added, "there is
no longer a need to issue two devices for personnel who need to be contacted
while away from their primary work facility."

Thomas G. Saine, chief information officer, said the ability for users to roam
onto USA Mobility`s wide area network is what sets I-LAND apart. "When a user is
within the coverage area of the I-LAND network, their device will send and
receive messages with the code-ready speeds and dependability only private
messaging systems can provide," he explained. "However, if a device should leave
the campus coverage area, I-LAND hands the device off to the wide-area paging
network for uninterrupted service. The assured message delivery function
inherent in our ReFLEX network ensures that no messages will be dropped during
the transition." Saine said the I-LAND solution will include use of the
Company`s exclusive ST902 battery-powered two-way pagers, which were introduced
earlier this year.

Saine pointed out that I-LAND will require minimal on-premise equipment for
customers. "The input, processing and output control infrastructure is actually
located at our operations center in Plano, Texas. That means faster time to
deployment and a more secure platform because I-LAND is a provider-hosted
solution and thus free of the maintenance concerns normally associated with an
in-house paging system." He also noted that I-LAND can serve as the cornerstone
of a customer`s emergency communications plan. "If hospitals or government
agencies opt to tie the I-LAND transmission components to their existing backup
power supply, communications won`t go down in the event of an external grid
interruption."
