PRESS RELEASE

ASHBURN, VA - Comsearch, an Allen Telecom company (NYSE: ALN), announced today that for the sixth consecutive year, it has been selected by the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) as their official frequency coordinator for the Association's CTIA WIRELESS 2003 show. This year the show will take place at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, March 17-19, 2003.

Comsearch has developed a spectrum management process that efficiently addresses the interference and frequency coordination issues for CTIA's temporary wireless demonstrations. With hundreds of exhibitors at the CTIA WIRELESS 2003 show, it's critical that the frequencies used for the wireless demonstrations do not interfere with each other and with other licensed wireless operations in the area. Comsearch, using its frequency analysis software IQ·Clear^® and engineering expertise, offers a full range of Spectrum Management services prior to and during the show, which includes coordination with PCS licensees in the area, interference analysis and frequency coordination with microwave incumbents, frequency coordination between exhibitors and on-site interference monitoring.

"Comsearch has enhanced its frequency coordination process this year to include registration of all wireless transmitting devices being demonstrated at the show," said Chris Hardy, Vice President of Spectrum Management Solutions at Comsearch. "The proliferation of new 3G technologies and unlicensed device demonstrations on the show floor increases the complexity of the interference environment¾and drives the need for a comprehensive spectrum management process. CTIA's proactive approach to managing spectrum will help to ensure a quality show for both exhibitors and attendees."

"CTIA WIRELESS 2003, one of the largest and most highly attended wireless shows in the telecommunication and computing industries, is committed to providing attendees and exhibitors a positive show experience. Comsearch's expanded procedures for tracking, registering and monitoring all wireless demonstrations on the show floor is critical to preventing unnecessary RF interference between exhibitors or to carriers in the New Orleans market," said Robert Mesirow, Vice President of Conventions for CTIA. "Comsearch's proficiency in providing comprehensive frequency coordination services is a vital part of the overall success of CTIA WIRELESS 2003."
