Infrastructure for Location Based Services
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Openwave Systems Inc., (Nasdaq:OPWV), one of the world`s leading software
innovators enabling revenue-generating personalized services which converge the
mobile and broadband experience, today announced Openwave® Location Express for
GSM/UMTS, an easy-to-deploy, location-based infrastructure appliance, that
enables rapid entry into the location-based services market. Location Express
supports both basic and advanced location-based services (LBS) and is compatible
with GSM/UMTSmobile phone and network standards.

"We are pleased to provide a feature rich LBS solution that helps enable
operators in emerging markets quickly deploy secure location-based services,"
said Dan Nguyen, interim vice president, products and marketing, Openwave.
"Openwave is a world leader in location infrastructure and is processing more
than 100 million transactions per month. We believe Location Express will be an
excellent entry vehicle for smaller operators in growing markets."

Basic LBS enabled by Location Express utilizes Cell/Sector ID position
information to offer low cost services to a variety of subscriber segments and
prepaid users with entry level voice and SMS capable handsets. Location Express
can also enable basic enterprise fleet tracking applications satisfied by Cell
ID level accuracy, for example tracking the progress of long distance passenger
buses and transport vehicles.

Advanced LBS enabled by Location Express is backed by high accuracy Assisted GPS
(A-GPS) technology, which allows an operator to offer more sophisticated
high-accuracy consumer services such as turn by turn navigation and child
locator-type applications. In addition, advanced fleet tracking services allow
businesses to monitor their assets within 100 feet by tracking A-GPS/data
enabled PDAs that can also support mobile enterprise applications (e.g.
case/work order management).

Location Express utilizes standard OpenLS and Mobile Location Protocol (MLP),
ensuring support for a broad range of location applications. Openwave Location
Express securely authenticates and authorizes location requests while addressing
privacy issues, giving users control over how their location information is
being used. Subscribers can also self provision access privileges for
applications requesting their position, and specify temporal filters that only
allow applications to obtain position information during a specified time
period, such as during work hours.

Location Express provides operators with an upgrade path to Openwave Location
Manager Commercial Edition for increased capacity and redundancy.

Additional technical features of Location Express include:

* Support for 5 transactions per second (TPS)
* Cell/Sector ID via MAP-ATI interface
* Optional: A-GPS network assistance as specified in SUPL 1.0
* Integrated GMLC and A-GPS SUPL Locating Platform (SLP) 1.0 functionality in a
single platform

Openwave Location Express is expected to be generally available through Openwave
in July 2009.
