Wavecom S.A. (Paris:AVM) (NASDAQ:WVCM) (ISIN:FR0000073066) today
announced the formalization of its "Centers of Excellence" (CoE)
program aimed at building a worldwide network of design partners to
facilitate adoption of wireless machine-to-machine technologies.

The new partnership program emphasizes bridging the technology
gaps that many new wireless machine-to-machine projects encounter. By
working with qualified and competent Wavecom Centers of Excellence -
adopters of connected systems can remain focused on their core
businesses and leave the wireless part of equation to experts. Wavecom
and its network of partners offer a complete set of services from
design to integration to manufacturing.

"New ideas frequently surface that require the use of connected
machines to promote the real-time exchange of valuable information -
but, oftentimes these opportunities are never seized because of the
complex nature of the wireless piece. By seeding our technology
throughout a worldwide ecosystem of experts, we complete the chain in
turning ideas into reality," commented Olivier Beaujard, VP Business
Development for Wavecom.

Wavecom certifies all Centers of Excellence based on a thorough
evaluation of their technical expertise, business focus, financial
stability and finally quality standards. These CoEs are regularly
trained on Wavecom technology. As a Wavecom-certified CoE they will
act as trusted advisors and prescribers of Wavecom solutions, serving
as sub-contractors for design challenges and opportunities. This
program gives them access to all new Wavecom solutions and latest
innovations.

"We are pleased to welcome the Sony Alsace technology center as
Wavecom´s newest Center of Excellence,we plan to actively recruit new
members in all regions during 2008." Beaujard concluded.
