announce the signing of an agreement that will allow the two
companies to offer a solution that provides easy accessibility to

transport systems and smart meters for utility companies.
�Following the launch of Telenor Connexion last October, this
agreement with Wavecom will be a step forward in meeting the new
company�s goal to spearhead global expansion of telematics and M2M
communication. We are focused on supplying every customer
throughout the world with a contract for connectivity tailored to

�The announcement today with Wavecom, a recognized world leader
in cellular technologies for telematics and M2M communication, is
one more step for Telenor Connexion towards enabling easier access

companies that have joined forces to ensure successful connections
for the end solution. The model relies on Telenor Connexion
providing the connectivity service while Wavecom is providing the
Wireless CPU� and embeds the SIM component customized for Telenor�s
cellular network. This integration uses Wavecom�s innovative
inSIM�, a unique solution which embeds the SIM function into the
Wireless CPU� at the component level, eliminating the plastic SIM
card.
�We are particularly pleased to work with Telenor Connexion, the
premier wireless operator in telematics and M2M, and believe that
the joint marketing efforts will attract new entrants by making
access to wireless solutions simpler. The management and logistics
required for plastic SIM cards has long been a barrier to large
scale expansion of telematics and M2M. Now with an inSIM�
personalized for Telenor Connexion, we bring together a high
quality connectivity service and more than 15 years of experience
in wireless, into one offer directly to the customers,� says
