San Jose, CA, USA; May 28, 2004 -

in over-the-air (OTA) mobile device software
management, and LG Electronics (CEO: S. S. Kim,
Korea Stock Exchange: 06657.KS) today announced
that LG Electronics, one of the world's largest
mobile device manufacturers, will deploy DeltaUpgrade
as the first OTA solution commercialized on the

together with DoOnGo and China Unicom to certify
the technology by successfully implementing an
end-to-end OTA deployment solution in the Radio
Institution of Telecommunications Transmission
(RITT) CDMA lab and China Unicom CDMA live network.

first CDMA network based OTA software management

our products and solutions, thus
improving the experience for
our customers," said Dr. Hee-Bong
Park, Research Fellow, Development
Department 2, CDMA Handset Laboratory,
Telecommunication Equipment & Handset
Company, LG Electronics Inc., "With
handsets becoming more sophisticated,
we realize the challenges involved
in sending bug fixes and feature
upgrades over-the-air. Working
with DoOnGo will allow us to
fix problems and offer feature
upgrades to our customers quickly
and cost-effectively all the
while continuing to offer the
same high level of customer service
that we are known for."
"In China and around the world,
wireless carriers and mobile
device manufacturers are experiencing
the same cost issues associated
with repairing software bugs,
providing customer service, and
distributing new software features
and content," said Dr. Luosheng
Peng, Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder
of DoOnGo Technologies. "As one
of the most innovative companies
in the telecommunications industry,
LG is leading the way in providing
their customers with the industry's
most proven and effective end-to-end
OTA software management and upgrade
solution. "
The China Unicom commercial
launch of DeltaUpgrade on LG
handsets is scheduled for the
second half of 2004. DoOnGo is
the first company to power over-the-air
capable phones on public wireless
networks and the company's software
management platform is used in
more than 30 million handsets
throughout Japan, China, Europe,
and US markets. DoOnGo recently
signed licensing agreements with
NEC, Panasonic and Sharp, three
of the largest handset manufacturers
in Japan; and through its relationships
with these companies helped to
bring the first commercialized
OTA-capable phones to market
for NTT DoCoMo.
By delivering the first software
infrastructure that increases
the speed of over-the-air software
downloads and optimizes device
memory management, DoOnGo empowers
carriers and mobile device manufacturers
to deliver breakthrough wireless
services that drive higher revenue.
