              WIRELESS RADIO LAN GOES FASTER, ADDS INFRARED AND
                             PHONE INTERFACES

Allen-Bradley Fair 97, Nashville, TN --- November 12, 1997 --- Electronic
Systems Technology Inc. (EST) (OTC: ELST), a manufacturer of wireless
communications hardware, announced the release of the ESTeem(TM) Model 192V,
the newest and fastest member of its growing wireless-data communications
products for commercial and military applications.  The new ESTeem boasts a
radio frequency (RF) data rate twice as fast as current technology, while
adding infrared and phone interfaces to the radio area network (RAN).
The standard infrared communications port will allow the user to perform 
local programming and diagnostic functions for the radio network without
interruption of communications over the RAN.  The optional phone port in
the ESTeem allows a communications gateway over existing phone lines 
providing remote data access to and from the RAN world wide.  The Model 192V
has over 100 software programmable features, including internal
Allen-Bradley(R) DF1 protocol drivers for direct interfacing to PLC-5, 2,
and SLC family of controllers.  The model 192V offers over 50 software
selectable channels at a data rate of 19,200 bps, 1 watt RF output in the
FCC licensed frequencies of 72 to 75 MHz.  The narrow band packet burst
transceiver allows networking of 253 devices in high EMF environments on
a single frequency using the industry standard RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485
asynchronous, full duplex interfaces.  The ESTeem's internal digi-repeating
capability allows routing data through a maximum of three ESTeems to extend
the typical line-of-sight range of 5 miles to approximately 20 miles.
The 12 VDC powered device can be operated from battery or solar panels in
addition to 90-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz with its external power supply for world
applications.

Electronic Systems Technology, a publicly held corporation since 1984,
was the first company to develop the wireless modem and receive the
United States and Canadian patents for this technology.
