and growth by providing the requisite operations and infrastructure
expertise. Mr. McConaghay has most recently served as president
and CEO of Via, Inc., a mobile computing company. He also served
as president and CEO at Telident and Digital Technics, both telecommunications
equipment companies. Mr. McConaghay holds a B.S. degree in engineering
from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and an MBA degree
from Harvard Business School.
"Quantum3D is transitioning from being a developer of point-product
visual computing systems and software to providing its customers
with integrated image generation (IG) solutions that include advanced
hardware, software, services, and support for synthetic environments,"
stated Gordon Campbell, Chairman of the Board for Quantum3D. "We're
pleased to have an executive of Ed's caliber to lead the Company's
management team through this new phase of corporate development.
Ed's leadership skills, business acumen and technical knowledge
will be invaluable assets to the Company during this next phase
of maturity, and into the future." Mr. Campbell founded Techfarm®,
Inc. and Techfarm Ventures, which provide capital and management
expertise to early-phase technology companies. Mr. Campbell also
co-founded several successful technology companies, including
Chips & Technologies, Cobalt Networks, SEEQ, and 3dfx Interactive.
Building on the company's success at offering advanced, open-architecture,
scalable IG and embedded visual computing solutions that support
a broad spectrum of synthetic environment training applications,
Mr. McConaghay will focus the company's resources on expanding
market share for both IG solutions and services, as well as developing
the infrastructure required to support Quantum3D's commercial
and military customers on a global basis. Quantum3D's customers
include the U.S. and allied governments, along with leading training
system, avionics and vetronics prime contractors and system integrators,
such as Adacel, Boeing, Honda, Honeywell, Ford Motor, L-3 Communications,
Lockheed Martin, Saab, SAIC, SBS Technologies, J. F. Taylor, and

"Quantum3D is entering a critical business
growth phase in its maturity as a global visual computing solutions
and services provider," said McConaghay. "The Company
has pioneered and driven the adoption of COTS IG solutions for
the training market and COTS embedded visual computing systems
for the avionics and vetronics market, which in turn, have revolutionized
a number of military and commercial applications. We will expand
on this foundation by continuing to provide the industry's best
visual computing solutions and services to further extend our
global presence."
