Orange joins Verizon Wireless in the Wireless Power Consortium

BARCELONA, Spain, February 14, 2011 - Mobile World Congress — The Wireless Power Consortium ("WPC") today
welcomed Orange Telecom to its growing member list of more than 70 leading
consumer electronics and technology companies from around the world. European
mobile network operator Orange joins leading U.S. service provider Verizon
Wireless in support of Qi (pronounced "chee"), the global standard for
wireless charging.

"We are delighted to welcome Orange to the Wireless Power Consortium,"
said WPC Chairman Menno Treffers. "The engagement of mobile service providers
brings the benefits of wireless charging rapidly to a very large group of
consumers."

The WPC also announced that members are demonstrating new products and
prototypes using its universal wireless charging standard, Qi (pronounced
"chee") at the 2011 Mobile World Congress. As the world's universal wireless
charging standard, Qi brings simplicity, convenience, and flexibility to
consumers because it ensures interoperability between any Qi-enabled device
and any Qi charger, regardless of brand or manufacturer.

The WPC will show the following select compatible devices and
transmitters at MobileFocus Global on February 14th at Rey Juan Carlos Hotel:

    - Energizer BlackBerry(R) 8900 inductive battery door, iPhone(R) 3 and
      iPhone(R) 4 sleeves, as well as their recently launched Inductive
      Charger and accessories

WPC member Continental Automotive is demonstrating a built-in Qi vehicle
wireless charger for a prototype mobile phone at the NXP Semiconductor booth
in Hall 1, 1F14.

WPC members also look to incorporate Qi into a wide range of
infrastructure settings, including homes, hotels, airports, convenience
stores and restaurant chains. In December 2010, Leggett & Platt unveiled
Qi-enabled charging surfaces at the Windsor Airport in Canada.
