Regulatory News:

Wavecom SA (Paris:AVM) (NASDAQ:WVCM) (ISIN:FR0000073066), today
announced the introduction of the Q64 Wireless CPU(R), an enhanced
version of the GR64 that is powered by Wavecom´s Wireless
Microprocessor(R) WMP100.

According to Philippe Guillemette, Wavecom Marketing VP, "The Q64
will have a host of new features in the same popular, robust form
factor as the GR64 thus facilitating integration into existing
customer product designs. Customers appreciating the benefits of the
GR64 will be able to continue using the form factor while taking
advantage of the Open AT(R) Software Suite, without discarding
existing design efforts."

The new Q64 Wireless CPU(R) has increased processing power (up to
85 MIPS available for embedded customer applications) and the Open
AT(R) RTOS (Real Time Operating System) that allows customers to
natively execute C-based applications directly on the Wireless CPU(R).
It will also support important new features like IDS (Intelligent
Device Services) for remotely upgrading and monitoring devices, new
I/Os including USB as well as additional Internet connectivity
features such as FTP, HTTP and more Security options. Through the use
of Wavecom´s latest Open AT(R) Software Suite version 2.0, numerous
Plug-Ins such as Airbiquity´s aqLink(R) and Lua scripting are also
available.

As with all new Wireless CPU(R) devices built on Wavecom core
technology, the Q64 will have the possibility to interface with a wide
variety of companion offerings including GPS and Bluetooth and will
have access to Wavecom´s inSIM(TM) technology (embedded
industrial-grade SIM chip).

In order to provide complete customer flexibility and adaptation
possibilities, the Q64 comes with the new GR Plug-In, available as a
library and source code, for providing compatibility with
Wavecom-owned GR64-specific AT commands.

Engineering samples of the new Q64 are available now with
commercial availability scheduled in March 2008. The Q64 is not a
replacement for the GR64 which continues to be available in the
Wavecom product portfolio to meet customer needs whose designs are
based on this device.
