Push-to-talk First European Wireless Trial

21st May 2003

Europe : Radiolinja will be the first
European mobile network operator to
trial fastmobile's new fastchat
push-to-talk service that combines
instant messaging, picture messaging
and radio phone-like voice messaging
in one application. By participating in
the trial, Radiolinja will become one of
the first carriers anywhere to test a
genuinely multi-modal instant
communication service in a real-world
environment.

Significantly for operators including
Radiolinja, fastchat is easy to install
and requires no infrastructure
investment. It will comply with all
future standards, such as those being
developed under the terms of a
three-way agreement by Siemens,
Nokia and Ericsson.

Kirsi Valtari, Radiolinja's vice president of technology, said: "fastchat offers a new
inviting application and expands GPRS services. We believe that in the near future there
will be a lot of new applications because of open platforms in mobile devices".

fastmobile develops, hosts and distributes innovative instant communication services
that optimise one-to-one and group interactions between mobile consumers. Built on a
patent pending technology platform developed over a period of nearly three years,
services operate globally on 2.5 and 3G mobile networks and enable customers to
communicate with friends, family or other communities anywhere in the world.

fastchat is a global multi-modal instant communications service that enables use of
compatible phones as both multimedia messengers and walkie-talkies. It works across
all UK operators, and in all countries that have GPRS-enabled networks
