EB, Elektrobit Corporation (OMX: EBC1V), earlier this week, that two of its all-IP enabled, integrated satellite-terrestrial smartphone reference designs were used by TerreStar Networks, to successfully complete an end-to-end voice over IP (VoIP) phone call over TerreStar-1, the world's largest, most advanced commercial communications satellite.

This call demonstrates EB's ability to design and develop sophisticated mobile device reference designs that work in real-world satellite-terrestrial environments. Similar in look-and-feel to today's smartphones — including an internal antenna; unseen on any other satellite phone — the satellite-terrestrial smartphone reference design represents the world's first quad-band GSM and tri-band WCDMA/HSPA device running the Microsoft® Windows(TM) Mobile 6.5 operating system, and offering integrated satellite-terrestrial voice and data capabilities. Additionally, EB's satellite-terrestrial reference design offers:

• The only fully IP-based satellite phone using high-speed packet data
• The first satellite-terrestrial smartphone with a touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard
• The first satellite-terrestrial smartphone based on Windows Mobile operating system, with competitive service offerings, including: SMS, MMS, IM, Email, Push to Talk and Location Based Services (LBS)

This week's call, which was essential to TerreStar's ability to meet its final FCC (Federal Communications Commission) milestone, represents a strong proof point for EB's dedication, commitment and collaboration with partners to deliver the next-generation of dual-mode satellite-terrestrial mobile devices. Based on its highly flexible satellite-terrestrial platform, EB can develop customer specific satellite-terrestrial devices connecting to 2G/3G networks and to S-Band satellite networks. The Company makes satellite-terrestrial device development and lifecycle management simple by building collaborative product development ecosystems that ensure easy mass customization for various verticals within a short time to market.
