Mobility and Sensoria Develop Telematics Traffic Applications Prototype

      Combines Sensoria Telematics Environment With Digital Traffic Data

    LA JOLLA, Calif., Sept. 6 Sensoria Corporation announced
today at DEMOmobile 2001 that it has entered into an agreement with Mobility
Technologies to develop a prototype to apply Traffic Pulse(SM) data to
in-vehicle devices utilizing the Sensoria Telematics Environment.

    The Sensoria Telematics Environment is a new standards-based telematics
platform that delivers advanced services such as real-time traffic into
vehicles.  Under the agreement, the platform will enable Mobility's wireless
Traffic Pulse data to be delivered to any Sensoria-equipped vehicle and
interface seamlessly with almost any mobile device.

    Brian Davis, Vice President of Marketing for Sensoria, commented:  "We
have been evaluating potential applications that would make optimal use of
Sensoria's Telematics Environment and supporting technology, and we found it
with Mobility's Traffic Pulse system.  Their product fits perfectly with our
in-vehicle gateway platform and software solutions."

    John Collins, Mobility's Vice President of ITS and Telematics, said the
agreement is a natural fit:  "Many analysts who follow the telematics industry
agree that the "killer app" within the vehicle is real-time traffic
information.  We have that, but the trick is delivering that information into
an on-board environment that permits drivers to make timely, informed
decisions.  Sensoria's Telematics Environment combines mGate interfaces and
communications protocols to achieve that goal."

    The Sensoria Telematics Environment is a standards-based platform for
delivering next-generation telematics services over conventional cellular,
Bluetooth and wireless LAN connections.  It enables telematics service
providers to quickly and easily deploy new voice and data applications
remotely to in-vehicle information systems.  It consists of three components:
the Telematics Server Suite, the Telematics Client Platform software, and the
mGate Modular Vehicle Gateway.  Sensoria has simplified the complexities of
wireless and proprietary vehicle interfaces into a common set of APIs and
web-based interfaces to support third-party software development for the
Sensoria Telematics Environment.
