Miami, Florida – April 1, 2002 – Advanced Electronic Support Products, Inc (NASDAQ: AESP) today announced its participation in CeBIT 2002 in Hanover, Germany from March 13 through March 20, 2002. The Company’s Signamax™ Connectivity Networking Systems Group exhibited in the American Pavilion, and unveiled three exciting new networking solutions for use by Information Technology (IT) professionals worldwide: the Signamax Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Access Switch, the Signamax 100BaseFX Fast Ethernet Fiber Switch, and the Signamax 12-Port Fixed Media Converter. Interest in these new products and the rest of the Signamax product line was high throughout the show, with a large number of attendees visiting the Signamax booth to examine these new offerings.

CeBIT 2002 is the largest IT show in the world, surpassing last year’s record attendance of over 780,000 IT professionals. It provides a worldwide forum for new product introduction and development of new business opportunities.

Steve Daily, the Company’s Vice President and General Manager of the Company’s Signamax Connectivity Networking Systems Group, stated: "We are pleased to have participated in CeBIT 2002. This exhibition gave us the perfect opportunity to explain the Signamax mission: to provide total end-to-end network connectivity solutions, from the server to the user’s workstations. Our complementary line of premise cabling and network connectivity products supporting both copper and fiber environments gives us a unique advantage by offering more complete network solutions. One of our primary goals in 2002 is to expand our market share and increase our customer base throughout Europe. CeBIT gave us a platform to successfully kick off this initiative."
