DSP OS Changes Name to Unicoi Systems

-- Company to Expand Presence in the Embedded Development Industry --

Atlanta, GA– April 16, 2003 – DSP OS, Inc., a leading provider of software solutions to the embedded device market, today announced that its board of directors approved a resolution to change the name of the company to Unicoi Systems, Inc.

According to Unicoi’s President and CEO Greg Coonley, “The name change coincides with the new direction in which the company is moving. As a company, we are no longer strictly focusing our efforts on providing Operating Systems to the DSP industry. With our acquisition of the Fusion TCP/IP product line from NetSilicon, Inc., and some soon to be announced strategic partnerships, we will be able to offer embedded developers all of the tools necessary to bring their products to market quickly and affordably.”

The change in name is effective immediately and will not affect the day-to-day operations of the company.
