OPTION UNVEILS INNOVATIVE “HSDPA-READY” SOLUTION EMPOWERING NETWORK OPERATORS TO MARKET HSDPA SERVICES TODAY

tLeuven - Belgium, September 28 2005 - Option N.V. (Euronext: OPTI, OTC: OPNVY), the wireless technology company, today unveiled its innovative HSDPA-Ready technology that enables Option’s GlobeTrotter 3G/EDGE™ and the GlobeTrotter FUSION+™ wireless data cards to be upgraded by the user into full-blown HSDPA devices.

Currently 3 major network operators have announced solutions based on Option’s HSDPA- Ready products.

tToday’s mobile market is highly competitive. Network operators are striving to capture new data users whose expectations are formed by their fixed line experience with ADSL or WLAN services. The transition to HSDPA with speeds up to 1.8 Mbps, enabling the reality of cost-effective wide area broadband wireless, is a compelling solution for network operators and their data subscriber customers. Option’s HSDPA-Ready solution is leading the way in bringing a significant competitive advantage to network operators. These operators are, as of today, empowered to market data cards that are HSDPA-Ready. Whenever the operator decides to launch HSDPA services in its territory, a simple firmware upgrade, available via the operator’s website, is sufficient to release the full power of HSDPA on the Option data card. The mobile user is also a clear winner. In buying a GlobeTrotter 3G/EDGE™ or GlobeTrotter FUSION+™ data solution today, the user is assured of the fact that the investment is secure and future-proof for impending HSDPA services.

tJan Callewaert, CEO Option: “The real innovation of our HSDPA-Ready solution lies in its simplicity. This unique and innovative solution gives our network operator customers a compelling marketing advantage of between 4 to 6 months. Users may otherwise delay their data card buying decision until HSDPA services are launched. Now users can purchase our GlobeTrotter 3G/EDGE™ or GlobeTrotter FUSION+™ HSDPA Ready wireless data cards taking advantage of the latest combination of 3G and EDGE technologies without the need to buy a new card in 2006 when the HSDPA services become available. Listening to and understanding the need of our customers, combining know-how with the technologies driving our business, once again has resulted in a world’s first technology innovation. I am very proud of this accomplishment and congratulate the Option team for the excellent work”

tOption announced its first water-proof HSDPA demonstrations early this year at CeBIT 2005 (Hannover, March 2005) and CTIA Wireless (New-Orleans, March 2005) tradeshows. Currently the GlobeTrotter 3G/EDGE™ and the GlobeTrotter FUSION+™ are “HSDPA-Ready”.

About HSDPA

HSDPA is a migration technology for the UMTS wireless standard used by leading mobile network operators across Europe, Japan and North America to deliver voice and data services. HSDPA boosts network capacity to carry up to three times as much data traffic and up to twice as many wireless users per cell site compared to today’s UMTS networks. By making more efficient use of the existing network and boosting throughput, HSDPA significantly reduces operating costs while delivering a better end user experience. As such HSDPA will enable faster mobile services like high-resolution interactive gaming, multimedia music tracks, DVD-quality film and video.

Option has built up an enviable reputation for creating exciting products that enhance the performance and functionality of wireless communications. Option’s headquarters are in Leuven (Belgium).

Leuven - Belgium, July 5 2005 - Option N.V. (Euronext: OPTI, OTC: OPNVY), the wireless technology company, today announced that Swisscom Mobile has selected Option’s GlobeTrotter COMBO EDGE™ as its EDGE data solution for the Swiss market. The data card is marketed under Swisscom Mobile’s brand ‘Unlimited PC Card EDGE/GPRS/WLAN’. The GlobeTrotter COMBO EDGE™ is the second data card from the Option portfolio of wireless data cards to be selected by Swisscom, and follows the success of the GlobeTrotter FUSION™ data card launched on the Swiss market last year.

Swisscom Mobile, Switzerland’s leading Telecoms Company, with a customer base of 4.0 million mobile users, recently announced the launch of EDGE and as such introduced Switzerland's first broadband mobile network with nationwide coverage. EDGE complements Swisscom Mobile's existing technology mix, which includes UMTS and WLAN, and increases the average mobile bandwidth from 30 to as much as 200 kbps. After having announced EDGE mobile phones, the company now introduces its first EDGE/WLAN PC data card for mobile professionals.

Swisscom Mobile's UMTS network currently supplies some 90% of the Swiss population and is complemented by more than 800 WLAN hotspots enabling very high bandwidths in some locations. Thanks to the combination of these technologies and the recent inclusion of EDGE, the mobile bandwidth available to NATEL® customers has been increased from 30 to 100-200 kbps - many times faster than that of ISDN which is available more or less all over Switzerland. With this move, Swisscom Mobile is again taking a leading role in Switzerland and Europe.

Mobile Unlimited, the service that comes with all Swisscom data cards, enables fast, uninterrupted mobile access to the Internet and company data. The software always selects the fastest available technology (GPRS, EDGE or WLAN) at any given time. Due to the integration of seamless handover technology, the connection remains up during the switchover from one transmission technology to another. The user only has to connect once. With Mobile Unlimited data communications are as simple and fast on the move as they are from a fixed workstation with broadband access.

Other mobile operators can licence Mobile Unlimited seamless handover technology from Option under the brand name “Unlimited Connection”. Option offers the Unlimited Connection companion software as a complement to its range of wireless data cards and is taking the lead in the world wide marketing of Unlimited Connection.
