HYPER Corporation and IXI Mobile Partner to Certify PMG and 'Designed for PMG' Devices

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 16 -- HYPER Corporation, a leading provider of Bluetooth(R) Wireless Technology Qualification services and IXI Mobile, Inc., a provider of wireless software solutions for network operators, manufacturers and application developers, today announced a new certification standard for PMG(TM) (Personal Mobile Gateway) and 'designed for PMG(TM)' Sleek Devices.

The PMG is the bridge between the mobile and the Personal Area Network (PAN), combining cellular and short distance wireless with micro-router and micro-server functionalities. It is the point of connection between the wireless network and the new category of affordable and best-of-breed mobile devices. The PMG enables a new set of innovative, optimized, Bluetooth-connected Sleek Devices (e.g. watches, pens, phones, messaging terminals, gaming devices, cameras) that deliver a superior experience, while still focused on fashion and budget.

"We believe that the PMG technology bridges the gap between Bluetooth and plug and play application-level interoperability. We are very pleased to join IXI Mobile as their partner for PMG and 'designed for PMG' device certification," said Boyd Pearce, General Manager of HYPER Corporation. "The PMG and Sleek Devices represent a compelling offering of mobile connectivity with no compromise on functionality or fashion. Our certification process will guarantee that devices simply work together and are compliant with the highest quality standards."

Amit Haller, President and CEO of IXI Mobile, said: "HYPER Corp is a leading Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility (BQTF) with recognized know-how in the field. It is a natural partner to independently test and certify PMG and 'designed for PMG' devices. HYPER's expertise in testing and verification means that PMG and Sleek Devices produced by manufacturers will meet rigorous standards. With PMG and 'designed for PMG' devices due to enter the market later this year, users who purchase devices with the compliance logo will know that they are buying products that meet strict quality standards and work together seamlessly."
