Openwave Introduces Edge Gx to Proactively Fight Viruses and Spam at the Edge
Protects End-Users From Messaging Abuse and Cuts Costs for Service Providers
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb 16, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), the leading provider of open software products and services for the communications industry, today introduced a new approach for wireline and wireless service providers to fight messaging abuse with its release of Openwave(R) Edge Gx. Designed to fight spam, viruses and other malicious attacks, Edge Gx ensures sender identity and reputation and stops messaging abuse closest to the source delivering real-time protection for networks and end users.
Spam costs service providers between $2.6 billion and $4.2 billion annually -- $5 per user when spam is 50% of total messages and $8 per user when spam is 80% of total messages.*
"The severity of messaging abuse continues to escalate and if not addressed, could threaten all forms of Internet communications in our homes, offices and in mobile environments," said Rich Wong, general manager of messaging, Openwave. "Up until now, fighting spam has been through reactive techniques at the end-user level. With Edge Gx, we are providing the first carrier-scale anti-abuse solution by changing the rules and proactively stopping connections before abuse can get into networks and end users’ in-boxes."
Openwave’s anti-abuse solution deploys a three-tiered carrier defense extending the frontlines beyond filters to the network edge. The three levels of defense -- at the edge, filters and end-user controls -- provides triple protection against messaging abuse. Designed specifically for service provider-scale environments, Edge Gx addresses multiple ISP needs including identity forgery, network flow controls and policy management across multiple classes of trust.
"As messaging abuse continues to spread at a staggering rate, we need to stay ahead of the problem to protect end users," said Phil Pavitt, CIO of NTL. "We are pleased to see Openwave leading the way in solving the problem at the service provider-level."
"Messaging abuse continues to wreak havoc on the Internet because spammers and hackers have the upper hand," said Chris Shipley, Executive Producer of the DEMO conferences. "Openwave’s innovative approach combats the problem head on and takes the abuser to task."
"Dealing with spam and viruses has become the biggest issue facing the messaging industry but so many solutions focus on enterprise and not service providers’ issues," said Mark Winther, group vice president of worldwide telecommunications, IDC. "Openwave’s leadership in delivering messaging solutions to the top service providers provides them the advantage to address the problem."
"Openwave continues to develop solutions that address the unique needs of service providers. Building on the reliability, scalability and performance of the Intel Xeon processor family, we are pleased to work with Openwave and IBM to drive toward better cost/performance platforms for the carrier environment," said Hemant Dhulla, Director of Volume Platform Marketing, Intel’s Enterprise Platforms Group.
About Openwave Edge Gx
Edge Gx combines both proactive and reactive protection enabling service providers to control outbound spam while establishing trusted inbound partnerships. Fighting messaging abuse at the network and protocol level provides service providers with preventative controls against directory harvest attacks and identity forgery. With Edge Gx, these controls are deployed at the most efficient point in the message delivery process -- prior to receipt by a delivery MTA (Message Transfer Agent). As a result, Openwave Edge Gx helps raise costs to send spam without burdening the end-user.
Platform Support
Openwave Edge Gx has been optimized to run on IBM eServer xSeries systems with Carrier Grade Linux powered by Intel Xeon processors. A complete carrier-grade support infrastructure improves system manageability and enables operators to lower their administration costs.

Openwave to Add IBM(R) Websphere(R) Technology to Mass Market Data Phones
Integration Aimed at Improving Data Phone User Experience and Reducing Manufacturer Costs
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 11, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), the leading provider of open software products and services for the communications industry, today announced that IBM and Openwave are working together to offer WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment, an authorized Java Powered(TM) product technology, as a pre-integrated component of Openwave(R) Phone Suite Version 7 (V7). This collaboration aims to offer handset manufacturers new choices for fulfilling mobile operators’ requirements for game and application downloads while helping to maximize their performance through tighter integration between Java environments and Openwave client software. The companies are beginning commercial integration efforts now for phones expected to ship in early 2005.
IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment, part of IBM’s Workplace Client Technology, Micro Edition family, features a certified implementation of the J2ME(TM) specifications, specifically the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), which are core market requirements for the majority of mobile phones shipping today. Implementing these Java(TM) technologies with V7 is aimed at reducing manufacturer phone production costs by reusing software components, improving memory utilization, and reducing the complexity of software integration. The result for mobile operators and their subscribers is lower cost data phones that smoothly integrate the latest features in an easier to use, unified device.
"The poorly integrated nature of today’s data phone software results in a poor user experience, unnecessary subscriber confusion, increased costs for manufacturers, and operator revenues that are lower than they could be," said Rob Williams, general manager of the client product group at Openwave. "By more tightly integrating Java technology into V7, Openwave and IBM are working to help solve these challenges."
"The industry continues to demand solutions that simplify the process of building and delivering data phones for manufactures worldwide. Customers also want increased performance for end users of these devices through tighter integration and optimization," said Bruce Morse, Vice President, Business Development, IBM Pervasive Computing. "By integrating IBM WebSphere with Openwave(R) Phone Suite Version 7, Openwave is helping businesses build these solutions."
About Openwave Phone Suite V7
Several leading phone manufacturers have licensed and plan to utilize Openwave Phone Suite V7 in phones scheduled to ship during this year. The suite provides a one stop solution for meeting carrier requirements for browsing, client provisioning, download, digital rights management, multimedia messaging, email, synchronization, file management, device management, instant messaging, and mobile location. V7 also features groundbreaking user interface capabilities allowing operators and manufacturers to harness the power of the phone, innovating on top of core mobile data technologies to deliver custom experiences and new value added data services for end users.

Openwave Solidifies Data Phone Leadership With Acquisition of Magic4
Fortifies and Expands Client Software Business With Market Leading Messaging Company
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and WARRINGTON, England, May 11, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), the leading provider of open software products and services for the communications industry, and Magic4, the leading provider of messaging software for mass market mobile phones, today announced they have signed a definitive agreement for Openwave to purchase all outstanding shares of privately held Magic4. Openwave plans to integrate Magic4 into its client software operation.
"With Magic4, Openwave will become the number one open standards based software provider for data phone manufacturers," said Don Listwin, president and CEO, Openwave. "Browsing and messaging are the core engines that power advanced mobile data services today. The acquisition of Magic4 is part of our overall growth strategy and serves to deepen Openwave’s relevance on the phone while ensuring that manufacturers can deliver a seamless user experience as operator service requirements evolve."
"This is great news for our customers," said Simon Wilkinson, CEO, Magic4. "By bringing together the leaders in the sector, the combined talent of the company will allow us to create the industry’s most integrated solutions across the widest array of handsets."
"This acquisition demonstrates Openwave’s understanding of current industry needs," said Scott Ellison, Director, Wireless and Mobile Communications, IDC. "Tighter integration between the primary data applications on the phone -- messaging and browsing -- is essential to improving service usability and driving adoption. Moreover, a comprehensive client-server offering will position operators to better deliver unique, integrated messaging and content experiences that can build subscriber loyalty."
Openwave and Magic4 have a heritage of working together to enable user-friendly messaging services on top of Openwave’s core client and server side data technologies. Combining Magic4’s unique messaging expertise with Openwave’s pervasive client software will provide manufacturers with the assurances they need to invest in new handsets designed to enable a growing number of rich data services.
Financial Terms and Schedule
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Openwave will acquire all outstanding shares of Magic4 for a total purchase price of approximately $82.6 million, or $75 million net of cash on hand at Magic4. The purchase price will be paid with a mixture of cash and stock, with the exact proportions to be determined by Openwave prior to closing and with at least 40 percent of the consideration to be in cash. The transaction is expected to close in July 2004 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Openwave anticipates Magic4 will contribute approximately $9 million to $11 million in revenue in the second half of calendar 2004, assuming the acquisition closes in July 2004, and approximately $35 million in revenue in calendar 2005.
Conference Call Information
An investor conference call has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time, 11:00 a.m. Eastern time and 16:00 UK time.

The acquisition of Magic4 is part of our overall growth strategy and serves to deepen Openwave’s relevance on the phone while ensuring that manufacturers can deliver a seamless user experience as operator service requirements evolve."
"This is great news for our customers," said Simon Wilkinson, CEO, Magic4. "By bringing together the leaders in the sector, the combined talent of the company will allow us to create the industry’s most integrated solutions across the widest array of handsets."
"This acquisition demonstrates Openwave’s understanding of current industry needs," said Scott Ellison, Director, Wireless and Mobile Communications, IDC. "Tighter integration between the primary data applications on the phone -- messaging and browsing -- is essential to improving service usability and driving adoption. Moreover, a comprehensive client-server offering will position operators to better deliver unique, integrated messaging and content experiences that can build subscriber loyalty."
Openwave and Magic4 have a heritage of working together to enable user-friendly messaging services on top of Openwave’s core client and server side data technologies. Combining Magic4’s unique messaging expertise with Openwave’s pervasive client software will provide manufacturers with the assurances they need to invest in new handsets designed to enable a growing number of rich data services.
Financial Terms and Schedule
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Openwave will acquire all outstanding shares of Magic4 for a total purchase price of approximately $82.6 million, or $75 million net of cash on hand at Magic4. The purchase price will be paid with a mixture of cash and stock, with the exact proportions to be determined by Openwave prior to closing and with at least 40 percent of the consideration to be in cash. The transaction is expected to close in July 2004 and is subject to customary closing conditions. Openwave anticipates Magic4 will contribute approximately $9 million to $11 million in revenue in the second half of calendar 2004, assuming the acquisition closes in July 2004, and approximately $35 million in revenue in calendar 2005.

Cincinnati Bell Selects Openwave Edge Gx for Messaging Anti-Abuse Solution
Openwave Edge Gx Offers Service-Providers Inbound and Outbound Defense to Protect Subscribers
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jul 7, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), the leading provider of open software products and services for the communications industry, today announced that Cincinnati Bell has selected Openwave’s anti-abuse solution, Openwave Edge Gx, to protect customers against spam, viruses and other malicious attacks. Selected because it is the preeminent solution available market that specifically addresses messaging abuse at the service provider rather than the enterprise level, Openwave Edge Gx detects and prevents unwanted email before it enters the network and stops infected outbound email.
"Cincinnati Bell approached Openwave looking for a complete solution that would enable them to protect their customers from the constant barrage of messaging abuse," said Rich Wong, general manager of messaging applications, Openwave Systems. "Because Openwave Edge Gx resides at the edge of the network, it stops unhealthy and annoying email from ever entering the system and blocks infected outbound email thwarting spammers and hackers cold in their tracks."
During the trial phase, Openwave Edge Gx eliminated unpredictable spikes in message traffic from spam and virus attacks that threatened to destabilize the system. Openwave Edge Gx made system management and sizing much easier and decreased the costs of anti-abuse filters.
"Soon after the trials began, we were convinced that Openwave Edge Gx was the right solution because it offered the flexibility to create our own unique acceptable usage policy and to easily extend the functionality as the industry changes," said Rick Wagner, director of data systems and engineering for Cincinnati Bell. "Openwave Edge Gx is helping us do much more than just fight spam, it has helped us address all forms of messaging abuse and has even simplified management of our entire messaging infrastructure."
