LEXINGTON, Mass., November 4, 1998) -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTNA, RTNB) and Angel Technologies Corporation, a privately held, St. Louis-based corporation, today announced that they have signed a teaming agreement for
the joint pursuit of stratospheric broadband wireless business
opportunities.   Raytheon has been working with Angel Technologies since 1996 to demonstrate the feasibility of broadband wireless services using High Altitude Long Operation (HALO) aircraft. This teaming agreement formalizes their
partnership to extend these activities into a successful business
venture.

Angel Technologies' HALO aircraft design, called HALO-Proteus, will carry a large antenna high above the center of a city to deliver very high-speed communications services. Augmenting terrestrial towers and orbiting satellites,
the HALO aircraft will fly fixed patterns in the stratosphere to
provide metropolitan wireless services at lower cost, with increased flexibility and improved quality of service. Working with corporate partners like Raytheon, Angel will deliver a variety of fixed and mobile wireless services including
voice, data and video.

In an August flight test using ground and airborne electronics
developed by Raytheon, the companies jointly demonstrated a record-breaking 52 megabit- per- second wireless link between the ground and Angels' HALO Network testbed aircraft in flight.
"This teaming agreement, which follows our recent joint
record breaking wireless broadband network demonstrations, represents the recognition of the excellent fit between Raytheon's innovative products and technologies and Angel's entrepreneurial business model.," said Christine Davis, executive vice president and general manager of Raytheon Systems Company's Sensors
and Electronic Systems segment.  Under the teaming agreement, Raytheon will have responsibility as the prime electronics systems integrator for both the airborne and ground  segments of the HALO network. Raytheon will leverage its extensive capabilities in complex integrated RF systems and digital technologies to architect the HALO network.  "This agreement will provide Angel Technologies with an excellent strategic partner for the electronics systems portion of the HALO Network, 8
said Marc Arnold, chairman and chief executive officer of Angel
Technologies. "We are pleased that Raytheon shares our vision of providing ubiquitous wireless broadband services over metropolitan areas and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."  Angel Technologies recently held its inaugural flight demonstration of the HALO-Proteus Aircraft and has announced an agreement with Wyman-Gordon Company for the certification and production of 100 HALO Aircraft.
