AirGATE Technologies Announces Completion of Prototype `Smart Buckle' Technology for Automotive Child Safety Seats

DALLAS--Aug. 2, 20047, 2004--

Radio Frequency Identification Application Warns Drivers if a Child's Safety Seat Buckle is Not Engaged or if an Infant is Left Unattended in a Parked Vehicle

The X-Change Corporation's (OTCBB:XCHC) wholly owned subsidiary AirGATE Technologies today announced successful completion of its RFID prototype for use with automotive child safety seats, utilizing its "Smart Buckle" technology.

The AirGATE "Smart Buckle" technology is incorporated into a standard child safety seat. Miniature Radio Frequency transmitters transmit a low-powered radio signal to a dashboard or visor-mounted reader, triggering an audible warning to the driver of the car when it detects that a child is riding in a safety seat whose straps are not properly buckled, or if the safety seat buckle is not disengaged and the child is not removed from the seat after the car is parked and the ignition is turned off, indicating that the child may have been unintentionally left in the car.

"We believe that the AirGATE 'Smart Buckle' technology addresses two serious situations surrounding child safety and the use of child car seats: seat buckles not engaged and children who are mistakenly left unattended in vehicles," said Michael Sheriff, CEO of AirGATE Technologies. "There have been a growing number of instances where sleeping infants and small children have been accidentally forgotten and left in parked cars with tragic results. The AirGATE 'Smart Buckle' technology is very simple for any parent to install and will be very reasonably priced. We plan for the 'Smart Buckle' technology-enabled child safety system to become a standard feature installed by the manufacturers of child safety seats."

AirGATE Technologies will announce a press conference in September to demonstrate its technology.
