Siemens AG And Airbiquity Sign Multi-Year Global Licensing Agreement



    Airbiquity Inc., a leading provider of wireless data
    communications software solutions, today announced a global licensing
    agreement to provide Siemens AG with Airbiquity´s aqLink software
    technology. As a result of the agreement, Siemens, the industry leader
    in wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, and Airbiquity
    will be able to offer an additional end-to-end data communication
    solution that radically improve speed to market for their customers.

    The companies will demonstrate their joint technology at CTIA
    Wireless 2008 from April 1 -- 3 in Las Vegas in Siemens booth #5327.

    The co-developed solution integrates Airbiquity´s aqLink in-band
    modem software directly into Siemens´ AC75 wireless module platform.
    The AC75 already provides advanced automotive features and high speed
    packet data capabilities. Combining Airbiquity´s data-over-voice
    technology with the new AC75 platform expands worldwide deployment
    opportunities by enabling two-way data transmission anywhere a
    cellular voice call can be made.

    The jointly-developed module will be commercially available in the
    second half of 2008. Together, Siemens and Airbiquity have already
    attracted major automotive OEM customers and their Tier 1 suppliers
    for integration into model year 2010 vehicles.

    "Our customers were demanding a powerful, high quality and easy to
    integrate wireless GSM module," said David Jumpa, senior vice
    president, global business development for Airbiquity. "We partnered
    with Siemens in order to meet that need, and look forward to jointly
    providing our OEM customers with even more solutions that speed their
    overall time to market."

    By combining Airbiquity´s expertise in developing software that
    enables real-time data transmissions via wireless voice channels with
    Siemens´ long-term experience in the automotive sector, both companies
    have broadened their offerings to reach new customers in a variety of
    markets across the globe. Customers using a Siemens AC75 wireless
    module platform integrated with Airbiquity´s VIAaq managed data
    service will have immediate, robust access to end-to-end telematics
    and other applications using the voice channel for audio and advanced
    data communication.

    "Our partnership enhances the Siemens platform and will unlock new
    opportunities for Siemens in the automotive and other industry
    verticals," said Marian Baran, vice president of wireless modules for
    Siemens. "This co-developed platform is another step in Siemens´
    ongoing effort to continue offering its customers market-driven
    technologies that keep pace with the rapidly evolving mobile
    industry."
