InnoPath and Acrodea to Deliver User Interface (UI) Platform To Enable Easy OTA Updating of Mobile Device Features

Integrated Solution Provides Operators and Handset Manufacturers a Way to Deliver Richer Content and Services to Enhance Mobile Device End-user Experience

SAN JOSE, Calif.—July 6, 2005 — InnoPath Software, Inc. (formerly DoOnGo Technologies), the industry leader in over-the-air (OTA) mobile device management, and Acrodea, Inc., the developer of the first dynamic multimedia User Interface (UI) engine, today announced that they have signed a license agreement to deliver a UI platform solution for wireless operators and handset manufacturers to enable easy OTA updating of UI components and profiles. By providing an integrated UI Platform solution operators and handset manufacturers can increase revenue opportunities, support customer use of advanced data services, reduce warranty and service deployment costs, improve subscriber satisfaction and loyalty, and meet customer demand for faster software updates.

The joint solution comprises of Acrodea’s VIVID UI technology which provides a framework that integrates various media including 2D or 3D graphics, vector graphics, movie, and sound files on a mobile handset and InnoPath’s mobile device management solution which enables OTA distribution of UI components and delivery of new data services. The companies’ collaboration will drive the development of new content business, allowing content providers to distribute content to mobile handsets using a wireless operator’s network.

The two companies will also investigate the possibility of contributing the associated technology to international standardization organizations, while continuing to research and develop solutions to protect and enhance future mobile communication services.

“Through its innovative product line VIVID UI, Acrodea has established itself as a cutting edge company in the mobile UI industry, aiming to develop products that will exceed customer expectations for multimedia content delivery,” said Graham Robinson, marketing general manager for Acrodea. “By collaborating with InnoPath, we can strengthen our reach to wireless operators and handset manufacturers through holistic delivery of multimedia content on an established OTA platform for all customers worldwide.”

“Working with Acrodea will enable us to realize our common goal to continually enhance the mobile device user experience,” said David Sym-Smith, senior vice president of marketing and business development of InnoPath. “This solution is another step forward in InnoPath’s position as the commercial leader for providing innovative OTA software update solutions, allowing our customers to extend their capabilities in mobile device management for their end-users.”

Leading operators and handset manufacturers have selected InnoPath’s OTA technology as the preferred carrier-grade mobile device management solution. InnoPath is the first OTA device management company to actively update handset firmware in commercial deployments, and has helped to bring the first commercialized OTA-capable mobile phones to market. Today, millions of handsets have already been updated in the hands of subscribers with update-ready technology provided by InnoPath. With InnoPath’s proven OTA solution, operators and handset manufacturers reduce risk, accelerate time to market for new products and services, increase customer satisfaction and retention, lower operating costs, and increase revenue — offering a clear service differentiation.

InnoPath and Acrodea will demonstrate UI update capabilities at Expo Comm Wireless Japan 2005, July 13 – 15, at InnoPath’s booth C-243, in East Hall 2 and 3. InnoPath will also be demonstrating its mobile device management capabilities, such as configuration and diagnostics management and feature upgrade for anti-virus application downloads.
