With Expertise in Open Source Integration and Capabilities in MeeGo, Symbian and Android, EB is Well Positioned to Design and Develop Winning Devices and Software Solutions for the Wireless Value Chain

OULU, Finland, March 18, 2010 - Leveraging more than 20-years of expertise in the wireless industry, EB
(Elektrobit Corporation OMX: EBC1V), a leading developer of cutting-edge
embedded technology solutions for automotive and wireless industries,
supports the mobile community in delivering richer, more robust mobile
devices based on open architecture platforms.

"While fragmentation has traditionally been a challenge in open
architecture environments, we are thrilled to see the various players now
driving the unification together," said Vesa Kiviranta, vice president,
Wireless Solutions, EB. "A good example of this is the recent Intel/Nokia
announcement of merging the Moblin and Maemo software platforms to create
MeeGo, a unified Linux-based offering that will run on multiple hardware
platforms across a wide range of computing devices."

EB, with its track record in managing complex system integration programs
and its skill-set in open architecture development, is the partner of choice
for demanding product development or software ventures - be it on MeeGo,
Symbian, Android, or other open architecture platforms.

"EB's goal is to help our customers address the quick-changing mobile
device market by leveraging our global experience and the benefits of open
architectures to create a broad range of winning devices," Mr. Kiviranta
continued. "Having designed devices on open architectures for years, and from
working extensively on Moblin and the Qt development framework via EB's MID
Reference Device, we are well positioned to innovate and integrate the future
devices for our customers."

Global Experience, Local Experts

EB's technology expertise coupled with its global engineering teams
ensure timely market introduction of new open source-based device and
software solutions. EB's local customer activities are supported by global
R&D teams - located in China, Finland and the United States - where the
company can harness the power of its assets and scalable skill pool.
