JACADA SUPPORTS WAP AND PALM WIRELESS DEVICES
JACADA(R) WIRELESS ENABLES MOBILE USERS TO SEAMLESSLY ACCESS
BUSINESS CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
ATLANTA, GA. March 13, 2000 - Jacada Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCDA) today
announced Jacada(R) Wireless, a suite of solutions enabling wireless devices to
quickly and easily integrate with existing applications. Jacada provides a
complete software infrastructure to rapidly transform business critical systems
into e-business solutions and to empower enterprise developers to build Internet
applications.
Jacada Wireless supports any Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
enabled device such as mobile phones, as well as Personal Digital Assistants
(PDA) such as the Palm VII(TM). The newest addition to the Jacada product family
bridges the gap between a company's mobile employees, partners and customers
with its core enterprise applications.
According to the WAP Forum, there will be more than 530 million
wireless subscribers by the year 2001. New estimates report that the number of
wireless subscribers will break the one billion mark by 2004. Jacada Wireless
can quickly address the needs of these users to access and utilize real business
applications.

"Jacada is the leading provider of Java thin client solutions for
enterprise applications, and wireless devices are the next wave of thin client
computing," said Gideon Hollander, CEO, Jacada Ltd. "Companies are starting to
realize the potential of this technology, and we are engaged in discussions with
many of our industry leading customers who have near-term strategies to leverage
wireless solutions for competitive advantage."
Using Jacada Wireless, any mainframe or AS/400 application can be
delivered to WAP-enabled or Palm devices providing mobile users controlled
access to valuable business applications and data. Jacada Wireless allows
organizations to leverage existing business logic and data without requiring
modifications to, or any special knowledge of, existing application code or data
structures. Jacada Wireless automatically produces wireless markup language
(WML) and hypertext markup language (HTML) code that is interpreted by the
wireless device.
Jacada Wireless is based on the same robust e-business infrastructure
software that supports Jacada's current offerings including Jacada(R) for Java,
Jacada(R) for HTML and Jacada(R) Connects. Jacada Wireless will use the same
proven, highly-scalable Jacada server in use today by major corporations such as
