Wavecom Joins ERTICO


    Wavecom (Paris:AVM) (NASDAQ:WVCM) (ISIN:FR0000073066) announced it
    has become a member in the ERTICO alliance.

    ERTICO is a partnership of companies involved in the European
    transport system whose goal is to reinforce a future European
    transport system that is safer, more efficient, more sustainable and
    more secure than today. Through Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
    and Services technology, combined with the appropriate investment in
    infrastructure, the partnership efforts will result in reducing the
    number of accidents and congestion, while making transport networks
    more secure and minimizing their impact on the environment.

    As the world's leading supplier of wireless communications
    solutions to the automotive industry, Wavecom is pleased to now be a
    member of ERTICO. Pierre Piver, Wavecom Vice President, Automotive,
    commented, "ERTICO represents the best in cooperation among a wide
    variety of players in the transport industry who are working together
    to improve all aspects of the industry here in Europe," he went on to
    say, "to date, the results coming from ERTICO demonstrate true world
    leadership and we are looking to bring our experience and our
    solutions in order to help improve transport systems not only in
    Europe but around the world."

    ERTICO Director of Development & Deployment Michael Nielsen
    stated, "Having industry-leading partners such as Wavecom in our
    organization is critical for success in ITS deployment. Wavecom has a
    technological portfolio and expertise that complements our
    initiatives. Together with the other ERTICO partners, Wavecom plays an
    important role to create solutions that solve the problems we see in
    European mobility systems today."

    Membership in ERTICO is a natural extension to the contribution
    Wavecom is already making to the European Commission's eSafety Forum.
    The European Commission's major initiative, eCall (standing for
    emergency call) is implementing an action plan to promote pan-European
    in-vehicle emergency call initiatives by using combined information
    and communications technologies of which Wavecom is the world-leading
    supplier. The European Commission recognizes the potential that
    in-vehicle communications can have on reducing the number of
    fatalities, the severity of injuries and the stress in post-crash
    situations, by speeding up the response time of emergency services.
