Wavecom Technology Used in Watercraft Tracking



    Regulatory News:

    Wavecom S.A. (NASDAQ:WVCM) (Paris:AVM) announced today that its
    wireless technology, complete with C-GPS companion chips, has been
    designed into the KENJI KJ 8800 watercraft tracking terminal.

    Mobile assets by definition have a higher-than-average risk of
    being stolen. When we think of mobile assets, we often think cars and
    trucks, but, watercarft is another mobile asset that can benefit from
    wireless tracking devices for theft prevention.

    Sunlink's KENJI KJ-8800 tracking terminal has integrated the
    Wavecom Q2686 Wireless CPU(R) with C-GPS companion software protocol
    stack and GPS chips making it a complete GSM/GPRS/GPS solution. The
    C-GPS chipset receives location data, performs the preliminary data
    processing and forwards it to the Wavecom Wireless CPU(R) for
    transmission via cellular networks.

    "The Wavecom Q2686, with its C-GPS option is a real breakthrough
    in the technology. It's simple to use, highly effective and ideal for
    us to use in developing our revolutionary solution to safeguard our
    customers' valuable assets," said Ben Liu, Chief Technical Officer of
    Sunlink.

    Specifically designed for watercraft, the KENJI KJ-8800 terminal
    is a robust, compact and easily concealed unit that is moisture-proof
    for harsh marine conditions. Because the terminal uses both the GPS
    and wireless communication technologies to track the stolen watercraft
    - it can track on land or in the water. Once installed, the
    positioning signals can be generated within seconds and any movement
    of the watercraft can be monitored. Due to the unstable, shaky
    conditions of the sea, the build-in Smart Logic function enhances the
    sensitivity as well as accuracy of the system and allows any unusual
    movement to be reported to a control center or law enforcement agency.

    "As wireless technology becomes more and more pervasive, new
    applications, like this watercraft tracking device are being created
    and developed by a wide range of players. We are pleased that
    companies like Sunlink, Ltd. are putting development effort and
    investment into innovative projects for an array of new applications,"
    commented Didier Dutronc, President, Wavecom Asia-Pacific, Ltd.
