RELATED SYMBOLS: (INTC)

Cambridge, UK, Feb 13, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- TTPCom Ltd (LSE: TTC)
announced a significant milestone in its work with Intel Corporation for the
development of GSM/GPRS processors, with the launch of the Intel PXA800F
cellular processor.

Intel has incorporated key TTPCom GSM/GPRS technology, allowing the company to
build its position in the competitive wireless market by quickly broadening its
portfolio of wireless products. The two companies have been working closely for
over 2 years to develop the hardware and validate the system technology.

The Intel PXA800F cellular processor is an integrated communications and
applications processor that is the first product to fully integrate the GSM/GPRS
baseband solution with a high performance Intel XScale technology-based
processor and Intel OnChip Flash memory. The Intel PXA800F cellular processor
offers mobile device manufacturers a true alternative to established silicon
platforms in the wireless sector and is fully compatible with TTPCom's
industry-standard GSM/GPRS protocol software, used by over 40 mobile device
manufacturers worldwide. The combination of Intel hardware with TTPCom software
provides a solid platform for the development of low power, cost-effective
wireless devices capable of running rich data applications. In particular the
Intel PXA800F cellular processor will support the increasingly sophisticated
functionality, such as high-end Java(TM) capability, multimedia messaging
service, digital cameras and dual colour displays, which are becoming standard
features in mainstream handsets.

Tony Milbourn, Managing Director at TTPCom, stated "I am thrilled to see the
launch of Intel`s new cellular processor based on TTPCom`s GSM/GPRS technology.
The Intel solution offers a level of processing power which will allow the
provision of exciting new services and applications, and will take current
handsets to a new level." He continued, "The GPRS technology around which the
processor is built is a class 12, quad-band platform, which will enable users to
take full advantage of available GPRS networks no matter where they are in the
world."

Hans Geyer Intel vice president and general manager of Intel's PCA Components
Group said, "TTPCom is a respected supplier to the mobile communications
industry and its protocol software has been licensed by leading handset
manufacturers worldwide. We`re seeing an increase in the range and complexity of
mainstream mobile devices and together, Intel and TTPCom are well placed to
deliver the state of the art technology, and the time to market advantage that
manufacturers need to compete effectively in this challenging environment."

A demonstration of the Intel platform running TTPCom`s Wireless Graphics Engine
will be shown on TTPCom`s stand A3, Hall 1 at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes,
France.

Note to editors - TTPCom Technology The TTPCom technology supplied to Intel
comprised the following:

* System and circuit designs for the advanced GSM/GPRS baseband processor,
supplied as VHDL source code

* Physical layer software, controlling the hardware functions of the terminal.

The Intel PXA800F cellular processor is fully compatible with TTPCom`s higher
level GSM/GPRS protocol software and application suites and when combined these
form a complete solution for manufacturers to develop low power consumption,
cost effective GSM/GPRS mobile devices.

TTPCom`s GSM/GPRS protocol software is a stable platform which has received type
approval in over 100 products used on over 70 networks worldwide. The platform
is compatible with emerging operating systems, thereby facilitating the
development of sophisticated smart phones. In the applications space, TTPCom`s
Ajar platform, launched on 22nd January, enables the fast development of
customised mobile phones through downloadable applications and services and the
creation of branded user interfaces.
