Active Link Communications, Inc. Form 8K Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MOBILITY CONCEPTS NAMED AS "SOLE SOURCE" PROVIDER OF CUSTOMIZED MOBILE COMPUTING SOLUTION FOR MAJOR U.S. AUTO MANUFACTURER CHICAGO, IL - (PR NEWSWIRE) - FEBRUARY 24, 2003 - Mobility Concepts, Inc., a leading provider of mobile computing solutions to Fortune 2000 companies and the operating subsidiary of Active Link Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:ACVE), today announced that it has been named as the sole source provider of a mobile computing solution custom designed for a major U.S. auto manufacturer. Following a three-year, in-house software development project to produce a software solution for inspecting vehicles as they roll down the assembly line, the auto manufacturer looked to Mobility Concepts to conceive a complementary hardware solution that permits inspectors to quickly scan a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and wirelessly transmit information back to a central database. The hardware solution developed by Mobility Concepts is listed in the auto manufacturers company catalog as the company's "preferred solution", and includes a Fujitsu P-600 pen-based tablet, custom case, custom battery and a custom scanner. Consequently, Mobility Concepts recently received an initial $45,000 purchase order from one of the 25 manufacturing plants worldwide owned by the auto company. Although each plant is not required to order the solution, the software application developed by the manufacturer for use in its plants was designed to work in tandem with a handheld device. Timothy Ells, Chief Executive Officer of Mobility Concepts, stated, "We are very pleased to be working with this customer to provide innovative, enterprise-driven mobile computing technology that promotes real-time efficiency and mission-critical functionality for the auto manufacturing industry."
