BLUE BELL, Pa. - April 8, 2003 – Richard Bravman, chief executive officer and vice chairman of the board of Symbol Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: SBL), a global leader in enterprise mobility solutions, has joined the board of directors of Fiberlink, a leading policy-based remote communications provider for large enterprises. Bravman, a 24-year veteran of Symbol, brings to Fiberlink vast related experience at a time when industry analysts expect the number of mobile workers worldwide to reach 162 million by 2006, a compounded annual growth rate of 28 percent over a five-year period.

Bravman served in various leadership positions throughout the Symbol organization before being appointed CEO in 2002. He has led teams responsible for sales, wireless networking, marketing and product development as Symbol grew from a startup to a $1.3 billion global corporation.

"I am pleased to join the Fiberlink board of directors. The company is developing innovative and visionary remote access and security solutions," said Bravman. "I look forward to helping Fiberlink expand its record of success."

Providing secure remote access solutions for dozens of Fortune 1000 companies, Fiberlink's managed solutions integrate market-leading, best-in-class security, with flexible, policy-based remote access. This combination lets customers connect from anywhere in the world, knowing their critical business information remains protected.

Through its partnership with Boingo Wireless, Fiberlink currently offers enterprises secure wireless connectivity through more than 900 Wi-Fi hotspots. The company applies the same policy-based security management for wireless customers as it does for dial-up customers. Fiberlink's integration of secure wireless access comes at a time when 38 percent of surveyed IT managers report considering Wi-Fi services for their enterprises, according to The Yankee Group.

"The remote access market continually incorporates new technologies and faces new security challenges," said James Sheward, chief executive officer of Fiberlink. "Rich Bravman's background in mobile computing and data capture technologies, wireless networking and systems integration will bring additional expertise to Fiberlink's growth strategy as we continue to expand our wireless capabilities."
