BARCELONA, Spain, February 16, 2010 - Today at Mobile World Congress, Telegent Systems, the company that makes
television mobile, and Brightstar Corp., a global leader in value-added
distribution and integrated supply chain solutions for the wireless industry,
announced a partnership to bring a low-cost handset that delivers live,
free-to-air broadcast TV to Latin American and African consumers prior to
this summer's 2010 football World Cup in South Africa. Brightstar's Avvio 505
device, which incorporates Telegent's free-to-air analog mobile TV receiver,

"With the Avvio 505, we are delivering a model designed to appeal to
sports fans in the Latin American and African markets," said Jaime Narea,
vice-president of Brightstar's Idea to Consumer Division. "In these markets,
consumers have a passion for football, and all eyes will be on the events
unfolding real time this summer in South Africa. The combination of voice and
TV in a low-cost handset is very compelling for consumers who want to follow
the matches live, whether they are at work, home, or on the road."

The Avvio 505 adds further appeal for the sports fan as the handset is
designed with the customized colors and flags of those countries
participating in this summer's football event. In addition to voice, SMS, TV
and FM radio, the device features a 2.0 inch screen, measures 43X101X13.3mm,
and delivers 240 minutes of continuous talk time. The TV and FM radio
features, enabled by Telegent's mobile TV receiver, provide consumers with
one-button mobile access to live, free-to-air analog television and radio
broadcasts.

"We are delighted to work with Brightstar on this innovative campaign,"
said Samuel Sheng, president and chief executive officer of Telegent. "Global
sporting events provide a unique draw, and the Avvio 505 is well positioned
to make the televised matches broadly accessible to the Latin American and
African mobile consumers."

Brightstar's Avvio 505 will be sold in select operator and retail
channels throughout Latin America and Africa prior to the World Cup.
