"We're very happy to have Sleipner SA at our Microsoft Mobile Communication booth at SMAU 2005 in Milan, Italy, demonstrating the Sleipner Calypso CoMob ASNAP(TM) seamless mobility software for Mobile Phones and PDA software running on the Calypso C1250i WiFi-GPRS-GSM VoIP mobile phones," declared Fabio Falzea, Mobility Business Group Director for Microsoft Italy.

"We believe in the strong opportunities that WiFi broadband high speed connection will provide to mobile subscribers with many new services such as mobile real time video conferencing, document sharing and synchronization and other value added services. Convergence between cellular and WiFi coverage will represent a very interesting growth opportunity for the whole mobility business in the following years," further adds Falzea.

"CoMob is the first seamless mobility solution allowing mobile users to manage a cellular call (GSM/UMTS) and VoIP/WiFi calls with one single interface. CoMob products turn a Windows Mobile dual-mode Smart phone (with a WiFi and GSM/UMTS connection) into a telephone capable of receiving and making VoIP calls in the WiFi network-covered areas. In an office or in a house it behaves like a cordless telephone (an extension or a private telephone number) and it can an office or handle GSM calls in areas where a wireless WiFi connection is not available. When both connections are available, CoMob allows managing the two types of calls with hold and unhold functions," says Bruno Motta, Vice President of Marketing of Sleipner SA.

CoMob PDA features a point and click interface and is fully integrated with Pocket Outlook contacts while the phone version uses the Smart phone keyboard.

"The integration of CoMob products with Calypso's ASNAP(TM) patented technology will upgrade the coMob solutions to seamless switching, enabling a new paradigm in mobile communication and seamless switching: real seamless handling of communication," further adds Bruno Motta.

CoMob's parameter configuration takes place through an integrated web server which can also manage the complete dial plan and the call priorities and giving the users web based SMS messages remote control on the phone. coMob has been fully developed by Sleipner and is SIP protocol compliant (RFC 3261). It is based on proprietary middleware.

"We are delighted to demonstrate the Sleipner CoMob & Calypso's ASNAP(TM) seamless mobility software for Mobile Phones and PDA software running on the Calypso C1250i dual mode WiFi-GPRS-GSM VoIP mobile phones at the Microsoft new technology area for Mobile Communications. We are very excited about forging ahead with selling our products in Europe and the United States," says Mr. Michael Pizzi, Calypso Executive Vice President & General Counsel.

About Calypso Wireless, Inc

Calypso Wireless is the company behind the ASNAP(TM) technology for which it was granted U.S. Patent #6,680,923 titled "Communication system and method" (http://www.uspto.gov search U.S. patent number 6,680,923), which covers the seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access points, such as cellular towers (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, WCMDA etc.) and short-range Internet access points (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).

Calypso's patented ASNAP(TM) technology will enable cellular phones to automatically detect any available Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and then seamlessly switch between the signals of a standard cellular link towers and an available short-range broadband network such as cable or DSL with Wi-Fi), accelerating wireless broadband deployment, thereby creating a platform for revenue sharing between the synergistic companies and increased revenues for them by delivering new added services. It could also provide significant savings to Mobile Carriers in additional frequency spectrum and infrastructure equipment by offloading capacity to the Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and IP networks while providing additional sources of revenue. The integration of ASNAP(TM) technology will enable greatly enhanced services such as broadband connectivity, real time two way video conferencing, VoIP and network-based gaming applications via Calypso' cellular phones, PDA's (Personal Digital Assistance) or any mobile devise powered with the company's ASNAP(TM) technology. The patent has also given Calypso the rights to offer license agreements to major mobile and ISP carriers as well as to cellular phones manufacturer and OEM's. Calypso has also built upon its patented ASNAP(TM) technology to create a new technology that could provide 'the' solution that allows satellite radio signals from carriers such as Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio to be readily received by all types of mobile wireless devices, thus generating a new potential revenue stream for both the satellite radio companies and the companies supplying service to mobile phones and devices and the manufacturers and retailers of those devices, as well for the licensing of this technology by Calypso.
