RELATED SYMBOLS: (RCALY)
CARY, NC, Jan. 14, 2003 (INTERNET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Mike Pinches has been
appointed as a non-executive director of wireless technology company, UbiNetics.
Pinches brings over 30 years' technical and commercial expertise in the
telecommunications sector to the company, having held a number of senior
positions at Vodafone since 1983. Prior to this he was with Racal Electronics
and GEC Marconi.
At Vodafone, Pinches led a team of 3,000 staff responsible for its IT and
network technology design, operations and maintenance functions.
"UbiNetics is entering a phase of rapid growth as it prepares its customers for
the expected roll-out of next-generation mobile services throughout 2003," said
Mike Pinches. "3G will impact all of our lives in ways that we have yet to fully
grasp. However, the only businesses that are going to thrive in that new world
will be the ones that come equipped with a realistic business proposition.
UbiNetics is one of the few companies so positioned, with a growing range of
products, that will help usher in the 3G revolution."
In a joint statement, Bjorn Krylander, CEO, and Jon Moynihan, chairman at
UbiNetics, stated: "Mike Pinches brings a wealth of vital knowledge and
experience with him that is particularly resonant in the 3G sector at this
crucial time. We're excited to welcome him on board at UbiNetics."
Mike joins Sir Brian Pitman, John Buckley and Jon Moynihan as a fourth
non-executive director on UbiNetics' Board.
