AMCI to Experience Significant Growth in Wireless Technology
OMAHA, March 9 - AMCI, a wireless data solutions provider based in Omaha, announced today they will significantly increase investment in new product development and grow their employee base over 50% this year as they continue to enter new markets with their products and services.

"We intend to increase our investment in new product development by over $10 million in order to facilitate AMCI's expansion into additional markets with our leading-edge wireless software, service and hardware solutions," states company President and CEO Lynden Tennison.

AMCI has served the railroad industry for more than 12 years with their ability to develop, design, implement and support wireless data technologies. "As the need to receive and transmit data from remote and mobile locations rises," said Tennison, "interest in wireless data transactions becomes increasingly higher within various industries such as transportation, utilities, and field services." AMCI is leveraging their experience and products developed to support the transportation industry to provide solutions in new market segments. Some of AMCI's current wireless products include Internet access to Global Positioning System (GPS) for fleet management applications and wireless enabled work assignment and reporting.

In order to accomplish this, Tennison said "AMCI is implementing aggressive expansion plans for the next three years. By the end of 2000 we will have hired over 80 people to augment our engineering, project management, sales, marketing and administrative organization which will increase total staff to over 150." This growth includes the recent enhancement of AMCI's 7 by 24 support center which is responsible for first line customer care. Critical wireless applications will receive round the clock care, whether hosted by a customer's computing center, or provided through AMCI's Data Center and its Wireless Application Hosting.

With the addition of more people comes the need for more space. "Last October AMCI moved into new corporate offices at 9119 Western Avenue and in less than four months the initial space allocated was full," according to Chuck Svajgl, Vice President of Operations. In order to accommodate for new employee hires and the needed space for projects, AMCI took over nearly 30,000 square feet of additional space in the same building last week.
