New wireless data card with Zero-Install and Receive Diversity extends Option’s global leadership in HSDPA
Leuven, Belgium - June 1st, 2006 - Option N.V. (Euronext: OPTI; OPNVY), the wireless technology company, continues the successful execution of its HSDPA strategy with the announcement of a new product within its portfolio of wireless Internet data cards: the GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready”.
The GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” is the next generation of wireless data card designed by Option to be compatible with mobile operator infrastructure equipment capable of supporting higher data rates of up to 7.2 Mbps. Backward compatibility ensures HSDPA connections at lower data rates of 3.6 Mbps and 1.8 Mbps. The wireless data card has inherent support for 3G operation at 384 Kbps in conjunction with Quad band EDGE and GPRS.
The GT MAX “7.2 Ready” is the first Option data card to use Zero-Install patented technology. This means that it is no longer a necessity for the user to pre-install drivers, or a software application, in order to use the data card. GT MAX is truly unique Plug ‘n Play solution: no user install, no user installed application, no driver CD.
Commercially available during the second half of 2006, the Tri –band 2100/1900/850 MHz GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” will initially be configured for 3.6 Mbps operation. As and when mobile network operators raise their data rate services up to 7.2 Mbps a simple user initiated “Flash upgrade” issued by the network operator will boost the card up to a maximum data rate of 7.2 Mbps.
Different from other HSDPA devices the internal architecture of the GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” includes Advanced Radio Technology (ART) bringing the benefit of Receive Diversity and Receive Equalization into the product design.
Receive Diversity is a necessity to maximize radio performance. GT MAX’s dual antenna configuration and dual receiver chain intelligently processes and combines signals to continuously obtain the optimal receive level. Receive Equalization on the other hand improves immunity to interference of the radio signal.
The combination of both these advanced radio technology features enhances the user Internet experience by ensuring the maximum possible data rate throughput for any given mobile or nomadic operating condition. In tests ART has shown a marked increase in realized Internet connection speed in some cases in excess of 50% compared with non-ART equipped devices. For the mobile operator ART can significantly increase network capacity by up to a factor of two-fold and power required from base stations is reduced for greater operating efficiency.
Jan Callewaert, CEO Option: “In December of last year Option was the first to demonstrate our data cards working at 3.6 Mbps on Nortel infrastructure. Subsequently in January this year Cingular demonstrated our 3.6 HSDPA card live at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics show. Today’s announcement is a continuation of our HSDPA strategy and demonstrates, yet again, our technical prowess. The GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” is a further evolutionary step in Option’s strategy to support its operator partners and their customers offering the best and fastest possible cellular connectivity. HSDPA is being deployed, or has already been launched, by most W-CDMA based cellular operators. As of today I am proud to be able to state that Option is supplying its HSDPA data devices to over 50 network operators. With our current portfolio of HSDPA wireless products Option clearly substantiates its lead in this market. Our GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” offers the network operator a future proof product for their customers whilst enabling the maximum benefit to be realized from new consumer and business services launched in conjunction with the higher bandwidth HSDPA networks.”
Option’s product portfolio currently totals no less than 9 HSDPA devices including 6 data cards: GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready”, GlobeTrotter HSDPA, GlobeTrotter GT MAX, GlobeTrotter FUSION+ HSDPA, GlobeTrotter 3G/EDGE “HSDPA Ready” and the GlobeTrotter FUSION+ “HSDPA Ready”. Other products are GTM 351E wireless module, the GlobeSurfer ICON and the GlobeSurfer 3G HSDPA.

Leuven, Belgium - July 19th, 2006 - Option N.V. (Euronext: OPTI; OPNVY), the wireless technology company, today announced that T-Mobile Austria has launched the GlobeSurfer® ICON as the wireless broadband product offering Austrian PC users internet access via HSDPA and 3G UMTS networks through a small, elegantly designed device that can connect to any desktop or laptop USB port. The GlobeSurfer® ICON is being sold under the T-Mobile brand as “Web ‘n’ Walk Surf Box”. Other companies within the T-Mobile group are currently assessing the GlobeSurfer® ICON with the view to also adding this product to their “Web ‘n’ Walk” portfolio.
T-Mobile Austria is a 100% subsidiary of T-Mobile International, one of Deutsche Telekom’s three strategic business units. T-Mobile International is one of the world’s leading companies in mobile communications. The company concentrates on the most dynamic markets in Europe and the United States. By the end of 2005, more than 87 million customers were served in nine T-Mobile markets. Furthermore, T-Mobile International is a partner of FreeMove, an alliance formed by four of Europe’s leading mobile companies - Orange, Telefónica Móviles, TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) and T-Mobile. FreeMove Alliance helps its customers to communicate as easily while traveling abroad as they do at home.
GlobeSurfer® ICON, announced at the 3GSM World Congress last February, is a new breed of wireless Internet device that delivers simple and fast wireless broadband connectivity for consumer or business applications whether at home or at work. With its DSL comparable data speed the GlobeSurfer® ICON connects, and is powered, through any Desktop or Laptop USB port.
Using patented “Zero-CD” technology, GlobeSurfer® ICON is truly plug ‘n play with zero user intervention. This means no user install, no application or driver CD. All the user needs is to simply plug GlobeSurfer® ICON into an available USB port and then surf the Internet, wirelessly. The GlobeSurfer® ICON opens up the potential for T-Mobile to further expand its Web ‘n’ Walk product strategy.
Available for mobile operators to market ‘off-the-shelf’, GlobeSurfer® ICON is tailored with pre-configured network settings providing virtually instantaneous broadband access to Internet, email, instant messaging and video conferencing applications. GlobeSurfer® ICON supports numerous features to enable multiple service offerings such as network lock, cell lock, and home-zoning.

New wireless data card with Zero-Install and Receive Diversity extends Option’s global leadership in HSDPA
Leuven, Belgium - June 1st, 2006 - Option N.V. (Euronext: OPTI; OPNVY), the wireless technology company, continues the successful execution of its HSDPA strategy with the announcement of a new product within its portfolio of wireless Internet data cards: the GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready”.
The GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” is the next generation of wireless data card designed by Option to be compatible with mobile operator infrastructure equipment capable of supporting higher data rates of up to 7.2 Mbps. Backward compatibility ensures HSDPA connections at lower data rates of 3.6 Mbps and 1.8 Mbps. The wireless data card has inherent support for 3G operation at 384 Kbps in conjunction with Quad band EDGE and GPRS.
The GT MAX “7.2 Ready” is the first Option data card to use Zero-Install patented technology. This means that it is no longer a necessity for the user to pre-install drivers, or a software application, in order to use the data card. GT MAX is truly unique Plug ‘n Play solution: no user install, no user installed application, no driver CD.
Commercially available during the second half of 2006, the Tri –band 2100/1900/850 MHz GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” will initially be configured for 3.6 Mbps operation. As and when mobile network operators raise their data rate services up to 7.2 Mbps a simple user initiated “Flash upgrade” issued by the network operator will boost the card up to a maximum data rate of 7.2 Mbps.
Different from other HSDPA devices the internal architecture of the GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” includes Advanced Radio Technology (ART) bringing the benefit of Receive Diversity and Receive Equalization into the product design.
Receive Diversity is a necessity to maximize radio performance. GT MAX’s dual antenna configuration and dual receiver chain intelligently processes and combines signals to continuously obtain the optimal receive level. Receive Equalization on the other hand improves immunity to interference of the radio signal.
The combination of both these advanced radio technology features enhances the user Internet experience by ensuring the maximum possible data rate throughput for any given mobile or nomadic operating condition. In tests ART has shown a marked increase in realized Internet connection speed in some cases in excess of 50% compared with non-ART equipped devices. For the mobile operator ART can significantly increase network capacity by up to a factor of two-fold and power required from base stations is reduced for greater operating efficiency.
Jan Callewaert, CEO Option: “In December of last year Option was the first to demonstrate our data cards working at 3.6 Mbps on Nortel infrastructure. Subsequently in January this year Cingular demonstrated our 3.6 HSDPA card live at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics show. Today’s announcement is a continuation of our HSDPA strategy and demonstrates, yet again, our technical prowess. The GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” is a further evolutionary step in Option’s strategy to support its operator partners and their customers offering the best and fastest possible cellular connectivity. HSDPA is being deployed, or has already been launched, by most W-CDMA based cellular operators. As of today I am proud to be able to state that Option is supplying its HSDPA data devices to over 50 network operators. With our current portfolio of HSDPA wireless products Option clearly substantiates its lead in this market. Our GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready” offers the network operator a future proof product for their customers whilst enabling the maximum benefit to be realized from new consumer and business services launched in conjunction with the higher bandwidth HSDPA networks.”
Option’s product portfolio currently totals no less than 9 HSDPA devices including 6 data cards: GlobeTrotter GT MAX “7.2 Ready”, GlobeTrotter HSDPA, GlobeTrotter GT MAX, GlobeTrotter FUSION+ HSDPA, GlobeTrotter 3G/EDGE “HSDPA Ready” and the GlobeTrotter FUSION+ “HSDPA Ready”. Other products are GTM 351E wireless module, the GlobeSurfer ICON and the GlobeSurfer 3G HSDPA.

Blue Connect enables convenient, high speed internet access whether at home, in the office or on the go. You just plug the Blue Connect data card to your laptop and let the system automatically choose for you the fastest locally available wireless internet access connection.
The GlobeTrotter GT MAX supports HSDPA 1.8 Mbps and 3G UMTS as well as Quad band EDGE/GPRS connectivity. The wireless data card features Option’s unique and patented multi-band flip-out integrated antenna design. Once inserted in a laptop, the GT MAX may be operated by simply deploying the flip out antenna. For ease and convenience, the antenna is retracted for briefcase or laptop carrier bag transport without the need to remove the wireless data card from the laptop.

GCF compliance received for the wireless solution combining GTM351E build into specific ACER laptops
Leuven, Belgium – Friday April 21, 2006 – Option (Euronext: OPTI; OPNVY), the wireless technology company, today announced that its HSDPA embedded wireless module, the GTM351E, is GCF certified and that the combination of this module operating within specific Acer laptops has passed all tests to be GCF compliant. GCF, the Global Certification Forum, is a partnership between network operators and terminal manufacturers that provides an independent program to ensure global interoperability of 2.5G and 3G HSDPA/UMTS mobile wireless terminals. Obtaining GCF certification is a prerequisite for doing business with leading network operators such as Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange, etc.
Jan Callewaert, CEO Option: “Achieving this world’s first GCF certification for an HSDPA wireless module demonstrates our company’s dedication and focus on making the market for embedded wireless modules a reality for our partners. Being GCF certified is a very important criteria for our customers, the network operators, to ensure the highest quality, the optimal user experience and thus maximizing market viability. Furthermore we made sure that the wireless solution, combining the wireless module into specific Acer laptops, passed all GCF compliance tests. This extra service, another world’s first and done on their behalf by Option, enhances the ability of IT manufacturers to efficiently work with the network operators."
GCF certification and compliance involved some 2.000 product lab test cases and extensive field trials that measured the GTM351E performance on different 2.5G and 3G networks. The testing conducted to achieve GCF certification ensures that the GTM351E has the highest reliability and functionality on HSDPA/UMTS and EDGE/GPRS mobile networks throughout Europe, the US, Asia and the Middle East, and that it has been designed, manufactured and tested to an agreed standard. Network operators benefit by knowing that GCF certified devices will perform optimally on mobile networks, providing customers with seamless roaming.
The GTM351E is the ideal solution for an IT manufacturer embedding HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE connectivity into laptop devices. The GTM351E supports HSDPA 1.8 Mbps, UMTS WCDMA in the 2100 MHz band and EDGE/GPRS in four bands (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), thereby ensuring worldwide network compatibility bringing broadband wireless Internet connectivity to laptop users.
