PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
--------------------
This Proxy Statement is being furnished to stockholders in connection with
the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Eagle Wireless
International, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 910 Gemini Avenue, Houston,
Texas, 77058 on Friday, January 29, 1999 at 1:00 P.M., and at any adjournments
thereof for the purpose of considering and voting upon the matters set forth in
the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement
and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to stockholders on or
about December 29, 1998. All costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by the
Company.
The close of business on December 18, 1998, has been fixed as the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof. As of the record date, there were
11,670,155 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share
("Common Stock"), issued and outstanding.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock on the record date is necessary to constitute a quorum at the
Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards a
quorum. If a quorum is not present or represented by proxy at the Annual
Meeting, the stockholders present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting
have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, without notice
other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting, until a quorum is present or
represented by proxy. At any such adjourned Annual Meeting at which a quorum is
present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted that might have
been transacted at the original Annual Meeting.
With respect to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or
withheld. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual
Meeting, and votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and
will have no effect. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes in the election
of directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is
required for approval of Item 2. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote
against a proposal.
Brokers who hold shares in street name for customers are required to vote
those shares in accordance with instructions received from the beneficial
owners. In addition, brokers are entitled to vote on certain items, such as the
election of directors, the ratification of auditors and other "discretionary
items," even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners.
Brokers are not permitted to vote for "non-discretionary" items without specific
instructions from the beneficial owners. Under applicable Texas law, broker
non-votes will have no effect on any of the proposals.
All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies have
been previously revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with
the directions set forth on such proxies. IF NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED, THE
SHARES WILL BE VOTED (i) FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES NAMED HEREIN, (ii) FOR
THE APPROVAL OF THE INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, AND (iii) TO TRANSACT SUCH
OTHER BUSINESS AS MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING.
The enclosed proxy, even though executed and returned, may be revoked at any
time prior to the voting of the proxy by one of the following methods: (a) the
execution and submission of a revised proxy, (b) written notice to the Secretary
of the Company, or (c) voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
ANNUAL REPORT
A copy of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB is being mailed with
this Proxy Statement. Exhibits to the Form 10-KSB will be furnished to the
stockholders without charge upon written request to Scott A. Cubley at 910

ITEM 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
DIRECTOR NOMINEES
The directors are elected annually by the stockholders of the Company. The
Bylaws of the Company provide that the number of directors will be determined by
the Board of Directors, but shall not be less than two. The stockholders will

directors of the Company.
Although the Board of Directors of the Company does not contemplate that any

DR. H. DEAN CUBLEY (age 57) has served as chairman of the board, president

was employed with Paging Products International. Mr. Futer was a manager of

"turn-key" technology transfer from Canada to the (then) Soviet Union for the
manufacture of hand-held electronic calculators, an operation which the Soviets
then improved from the consumer level and adapted to suit their particular
requirements. Since 1975, Mr. Futer has had extensive in-depth experience of
interfacing with Pacific Rim countries. In 1992 and 1993, he spent time in the
People's Republic of China coordinating a successful technology transfer for one

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and
executive officers, and persons who own ten percent or more of the Company's
Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of all filed reports are required to
be furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on the
reports received by the Company, the Company believes that the directors,
executive officers, and ten percent or greater beneficial owners complied with
all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998,
except as follows. In January 1998, Senator Gary Hart joined the Company's board
of directors and filed an annual report of ownership on or about December 11,
1998 in lieu of an initial report of ownership earlier in the year.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS NOMINATED THE ABOVE-REFERENCED DIRECTORS FOR
ELECTION BY THE STOCKHOLDERS AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION
OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE. THE ELECTION OF THESE DIRECTORS REQUIRES A
PLURALITY OF THE VOTES CAST BY THE HOLDERS OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PRESENT OR
REPRESENTED BY PROXY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND ENTITLED TO VOTE IN THE ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS.
ITEM 2
RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors wishes to obtain from the stockholders a ratification
of the Board's action in appointing McManus & Co., P.C., as independent public
accountants of the Company, for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1999. The
engagement of McManus & Co., P.C. for audit services has been approved by the
Board of Directors. Representatives from the firm are expected to be present at
the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so
desire, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
In the event the appointment of McManus & Co., P.C., as the Company's
independent public accountants for fiscal year 1999 is not ratified by the
stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered as a direction to the Board of
Directors to select other auditors for the following year. However, because of
the difficulty in making any substitution of auditors so long after the
beginning of the current year, it is contemplated that the appointment for the
fiscal year ending 1999 will be permitted to stand unless the Board finds other
good reason for making a change.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS APPROVED THE APPOINTMENT OF MCMANUS & CO. P.C. AS
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR 1999 AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
RATIFICATION OF SUCH APPOINTMENT. SUCH RATIFICATION REQUIRES THE AFFIRMATIVE
VOTE OF THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PRESENT OR
REPRESENTED BY PROXY AND ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
