[COMPANY LOGO]                                                                  

 Thomas Koll Appointed Chairman of Infowave Board of Directors

Vancouver,  British Columbia - April 24, 2002 - Infowave  Software  (TSE:IW),  a
global  provider of software that connects  enterprise  applications to wireless
devices, today announced several executive management changes designed to better
align resources against revenue opportunities.                                  

Thomas Koll has been  appointed  Chairman of the board of  directors,  replacing
Morgan Sturdy,  who will remain on the board as a director.  Koll will turn over
the  day-to-day  operations  of the  Company and  responsibilities  of the chief
executive officer to a newly-named  Office of the President,  which is comprised
of chief financial officer George Reznik, chief technology officer Sal Visca and
board member Jim McIntosh.                                                      

"The board has unanimously  appointed Thomas to serve as board chairman and move
into a role that will allow him to focus on strategic  relationships  in lieu of
operational  details that have been his focus for the last several months," said
board chairman Morgan Sturdy.  Koll was  instrumental in raising $22 million for
Infowave, creating a new carrier-focused initiative, re-orienting the enterprise
sales  organization to focus on larger  opportunities,  expanding to Europe, and
initiating and strengthening  key partner  relationships  with Handspring,  AT&T
Wireless,  Rogers AT&T and others.  Koll significantly  strengthened  Infowave's
relationship  with  Compaq by securing a  three-year  strategic  alliance,  a $2
million investment and the sale of an internal global site license.             

"This  new  structure  will  allow  me to  focus  my  time on  strategic  global
relationships  where I can affect  high  impact  opportunities,  while the newly
created Office of the President will provide an intensive day-to-day operational
focus," Thomas Koll said. "I believe the Office of the  President,  working with
an optimized senior management team and reporting directly to the board, is well
positioned to drive sales,  continue the successful  business activities already
underway,  and  introduce  exciting  new  products  that  address  the  needs of
Infowave's expanding customer base."                                            

Additional  changes to the management  team are as follows:  John Diack has been
named  vice  president  global  sales;  Matthew  Eichhorst  has been  named vice
president,  business  development  and services,  Ron Jasper has been named vice
president,  business  development - network operator solutions focused on global
network operators and Heather Knox,  director of corporate  communications,  has
assumed additional responsibility for corporate marketing strategy and marketing
communications.  Full biographies of Infowave's  leadership team can be found at
