Rapid Customer Adoption and Market Growth Drives Dedicated Sales and Customer Support Presence

SUNNYVALE, Calif.—September 11, 2006— Venturi Wireless, a global provider of mobile broadband services optimization, today announced the immediate opening of a sales and customer support office in Mumbai, India. The new facility allows Venturi to better serve its Indian mobile operator customer base and positions the company to grow its business with regional operators that are seeking to drive adoption of mobile data services and revenue growth.

Venturi has experienced dramatic growth in the Indian market based on the ability of its Adaptive Airlink Optimization™ technology to enhance users’ mobile data services experience. Subscribers that access mobile data over a Venturi-optimized network benefit from faster speeds, more consistent performance and improved data coverage for applications ranging from browsing and email to streaming video. The applicability of the company’s technology to both 2.5G and 3G networks along with new customer wins in the rapidly expanding mobile market all contributed to the company’s decision to establish a permanent presence in India.

“We are excited to be able to assist India’s mobile operators in providing leading-edge wireless data services to their rapidly expanding customer base. The high growth of India’s economy combined with the discriminating nature of India’s mobile professional make the Indian market both an exciting and innovative place to do business,” said Rich Conlon, vice president, worldwide sales at Venturi Wireless. “Venturi’s dedication to the Indian market is a key part of our strategic plan and will allow Venturi to continue to provide exceptional customer service and support to the mobile operators in India and throughout the region.”

According to recent research by Strategy Analytics, mobile data services are currently undergoing a period of strong growth as a result of carrier strategies – including lower data prices, greater service availability, faster transmission speeds, richer handset features and more intuitive user interfaces – which have established a strong base for consumer demand. Market estimates indicate mobile entertainment applications will generate revenues of $52 billion in 2009 with “music and media” and “sports content” listed as the top two categories.
