JoikuSpot Goes Linux

BARCELONA, Spain, February 15 - Joikusoft Ltd. today announces the next wave of mobile WiFi Tethering by
extending JoikuSpot Mobile 3G HotSpotting to new Linux based Maemo devices
from Nokia.

JoikuSpot is world's most used and popular solution for on-demand mobile
WiFi internet and mobile 3G HotSpotting. During 2009, more than 5 million
mobile internet experiences were made via JoikuSpotting, and the overall
JoikuSpot user base grew to over 500.000 actual JoikuSpotters. Altogether
this resulted into more than 100 Million Megabytes of mobile data consumption
across more than 200 countries and 750 operator networks worldwide. Average
global JoikuSpot internet consumption grew from 8 Mb to 22 Mb per JoikuSpot
internet session, which speaks to the improvement in 3G operator network
qualities in 2009.

Purnima Kochikar, VP of Forum Nokia, states: "Nokia has worked with
Joikusoft many years to produce easy mobile internet for anyone via Nokia
phones. JoikuSpot is now embedded in many Nokia devices enabling WiFi access
to the Internet with the simple click of a button. The JoikuSpot experience
created for the Nokia N900 surpasses anything seen before."

Tom Ojala, CEO and Founder of Joikusoft, adds: "Nokia Maemo platform
allows the most speedy and easy internet connection via JoikuSpotting.
Coupled with intuitive touch-user interface that Nokia N900 has, the user
experience for mobile internet has now become "1 click". The Nokia N900 takes
mobile internet to a totally new level. Nokia N900 owners can now simply go
and make their N900 a wireless "MiFi" modem with a simple download!"

The new JoikuSpot Linux Edition contains enriched features such as Speed
Measurement to allow users to accurately see their mobile internet connection
speed. Users see exactly the mobile data speed they get with their mobile
broadband subscription.

JoikuSpot is designed to be End-to-End and Operator friendly, and adds to
the Operator 3G data ARPU. Solution allows Operator measurement of JoikuSpot
user profile and data traffic volumes, and produces graphical real-time
reports of actual mobile broadband usage from JoikuSpotting. In addition,
roaming detection, IMSI range restrictions per operator definition, server
originated user updates and full operator branding and feature customization
may be applied. More than 30% of JoikuSpot users upgrade to flat rate mobile
data with their operator after starting to use JoikuSpot for mobile Internet.
Joikusoft has already rolled out 6 operator-branded solutions for mobile 3G
WiFi Tethering, and comes pre-loaded in newer Nokia devices such as N97 and
N97 Mini. The JoikuSpot experience is now extended to include Nokia Maemo
devices.

The solution comes with full internet security and internet connection
stabilizer in moving contexts. JoikuSpot saves users money by simply using
their mobile phone as a 3G WiFi modem for internet access. In a way,
JoikuSpot turns the user's mobile phone into a wireless MiFi, USB dongle or a
HotSpot.

JoikuSpot Linux Edition launches today as FREE Beta, available from JOIKU
community website www.joiku.com, and will soon be added to Nokia Ovi Store
www.store.ovi.com. Production release will follow shortly.

The Joiku Story does not end here. Joiku has also released a JoikuBoost
solution for enhancing the actual speed of internet connections

(www.joikumetrix.com/?action=joikuMetrix) to help Operators optimize
their 3G network throughput at the base-station level.
