SAN JOSE, Calif.— September 26, 2005—InnoPath Software, Inc. (www.innopath.com), the industry leader in over-the-air (OTA) mobile device management, today announced that it has acquired the mobile device management product line of Openwave Systems Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Openwave’s mobile device management (MDM) technology will complement InnoPath’s existing suite of device management solutions to create a consolidated MDM platform that provides carriers and handset manufacturers the most complete offering of mobile device management tools available today.

In addition InnoPath and Openwave have entered into a global, multi-year reseller agreement under which Openwave will offer InnoPath’s mobile device management solutions to its customers.

The acquisition allows InnoPath to significantly expand its value proposition to wireless operators and handset manufacturers. The combined Openwave and InnoPath standards based mobile device management technology will provide a more powerful, flexible, extensible and interoperable platform, allowing InnoPath to respond quickly to requests for support of MDM applications and services. The combination will enable operators and handset manufacturers to 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’s new MDM platform will support applications such as firmware over-the-air (FOTA), Configuration Management, Diagnostics Management and Feature Upgrade. DeltaUpgrade Plus™, InnoPath’s patented, proven, modular and flexible FOTA technology performs updates of firmware faster and more reliably than other methods, and dramatically reduces the time it takes to deploy firmware updates. Configuration management enables the setting or provisioning of a handset configuration parameters, enabling trouble free activation of data services thereby increasing service adoption. Diagnostics Management allows carriers to remotely monitor, diagnose and repair handsets. When users report problems, customer service can see and resolve those problems remotely and in real-time, improving service quality and availability. Feature Upgrade enhances OTA beyond its basic capabilities by updating application features and services, allowing carriers to brand their products and offer end-user personalization.

Going forward, Feature Upgrade will enable carriers to offer customized and branded user interfaces (UI), allowing subscribers to choose and change the look and feel of their mobile phones, and providing services such as anti-virus and security downloads. These, and additional strategic applications will generate significant business value, enabling wireless operators to quickly identify and resolve customer issues, improve the end-user experience, and increase revenues.

Together, InnoPath and Openwave deliver mobile device management solutions to global wireless carriers such as Cingular, China Unicom, NTT DoCoMo, KDDI, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile, and TNZ as well as leading handset manufacturers such as LG, NEC, Sanyo, Sharp, Pantech & Curitel, and Toshiba just to name a few. InnoPath has commercial installations that service over 60 million subscribers worldwide with an additional 2.5 million handsets being shipped every month.

“Openwave’s MDM platform is a natural fit with our existing portfolio of solutions,” said InnoPath CEO John Fazio. “In particular, their strength in controlling settings, testing and interoperability are welcome additions to our existing expertise. The consolidation of these two MDM product lines will help streamline MDM offerings and speed interoperability between handsets and platforms.”

“We are pleased to be announcing this agreement with InnoPath” said Martin Dunsby, senior vice president, Global Services, Openwave. “This relationship will combine the industry-leading technology of InnoPath with Openwave’s ability to provide solutions tailored to the most demanding carrier environments. This will enable Openwave to build with our clients the capabilities necessary to ensure all network users can access high value features and services, improving subscriber satisfaction and increasing ARPU.”

Leading operators and handset manufacturers have selected InnoPath’s OTA technology as the preferred carrier grade 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 been updated in the hands of subscribers with OTA device management technology provided by InnoPath.
