Acision Innovation Network Alliance Ensures Interoperability Between Global Provider of Mobile Data and Messaging Solutions and Innovator of Responsible Driving Solutions for Mobile Communications

PLANO, Texas, March 22, 2011 - Addressing one of the greatest safety concerns associated with mobile
phone use, Acision, a world leader in mobile data, and Aegis Mobility, a
leading developer of solutions for distracted driving, today announced an
alliance that will enable mobile operators to offer subscribers breakthrough
safe-driving technology.

The alliance integrates Aegis Mobility's DriveAssist solution with the
Acision Personalized Messaging portfolio, which enables mobile operators to
deliver mobile messaging solutions with additional value-added services. The
interoperability with Acision's enabling technology - and the company's
longstanding relationship with the operator community - speeds up and
simplifies the deployment of Aegis Mobility's distracted-driving solution for
operators. DriveAssist automatically allows the network to mediate text
messages, data sessions, and voice calls when a cell phone user is driving.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, driver
inattention is the cause of almost 80% of traffic crashes with mobile phone
use being the most common distraction. The National Safety Council reports
that 28% of motor vehicle crashes can be attributed to talking and texting on
a cell phone while driving. Texting and driving is especially dangerous and
has been found to increase the risk of a crash by 8 to 23 times.

"Acision is partnering with Aegis Mobility to offer a solution to address
safety concerns associated with mobile phone usage while operating a motor
vehicle. We believe operators will find strong market interest in this
distracted driving solution, especially among parents looking to protect
their teenage children, as well as enterprises wishing to reduce liability
risk and enhance the safety of their mobile employees," said Rick Harris,
senior vice president and general manager of North American operations for
Acision. "This alliance empowers operators to accelerate the deployment and
delivery of a distracted driving solution that will save lives."

"Acision and Aegis Mobility are working together to address the challenge
of distracted driving," said William Stack, President of Aegis Mobility. "Our
work with Acision is an important step in the ongoing effort to provide
solutions that enable operators to meet growing subscriber demand for
distracted driving solutions in a scalable, network-efficient manner."

The two companies are working together through the Acision Innovation
Network, a program that includes more than 100 partners from across the
communications industry working with Acision on the creation and marketing of
new applications and services to advance the way the world uses mobile
communications.
