RocketStream, Inc., a subsidiary of Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT) and a developer of technologies and solutions to accelerate digital content delivery over IP networks, today announced a technology and sales partnership with Sunbay A.G., a Swiss provider of high-value mobility software solutions for telecommunications operators. Under the agreement, the two companies will bring RocketStream's RocketConnect broadband access acceleration platform to mobile users. The mobile version of RocketConnect is expected to provide both cost savings to mobile network operators (MNOs) and bandwidth improvements to users of mobile devices such as Internet-capable cell phones, PDAs or laptops using cellular data connections.

Mobile data networks suffer severe bandwidth bottlenecks between a user's mobile device and the MNO's base station equipment. These bottlenecks are believed by many to be the last barrier to mass adoption of wireless as the primary connectivity method of choice for consumers. According to a new study by market research firm Informa Telecoms and Media, mobile data revenues are predicted to jump from $148 billion in 2007 to $347 billion by 2013, so removing barriers to consumer adoption is clearly a priority.

RocketStream and Sunbay have now reached an agreement to jointly create and market the mobile version of RocketConnect. RocketStream intends to market this software primarily in the U.S. and Canada, with other regions currently under consideration. Under the agreement, Sunbay and RocketStream engineers will collaborate in the integration of Sunbay's technologies with RocketConnect. The product is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

RocketStream's RocketConnect software solution addresses bandwidth bottlenecks in the so-called "last mile" of the access link, primarily for landline connections. RocketConnect increases the speed of these connections by up to 500%. This is complemented by Sunbay's software solutions, which are focused on providing comparable bandwidth enhancements to mobile devices, as well as on seamless switching between various connectivity modes.

Consequently, the mobile version of RocketConnect is intended to offer significant value to both MNOs and their subscribers by providing:

--  MNO cost savings through software-based bandwidth improvements that
    lead to infrastructure savings
--  Enhanced customer satisfaction through seamless switching between
    connectivity modes (e.g., automatically switching from Wi-Fi to GSM to
    Ethernet)
--  Customer convenience through session persistence (e.g., maintaining
    session duration without repeatedly entering passwords or providing VPN
    authentication)
--  Security of wireless data through encryption
    

"This partnership with RocketStream is a great way to combine the strengths of Sunbay and RocketStream to bring a truly compelling mobile solution to the North American market," said Juan M. Arimany, Sunbay's managing director of business development. "We expect RocketConnect to maximize the utility of existing wireless infrastructure, as well as complementing the rollout of 3G and 4G wireless technologies."

"The mobile edition of RocketConnect is designed to provide telcos and other MNOs with a combination of cost savings and service improvements to attract additional subscribers, increasing recurring revenues for the MNOs and for us," said Jay Elliot, president of RocketStream and general manager of software products and services at Voyant. "Consistent with Voyant's business model, RocketStream is always looking to combine our in-house technology with that of first-class partners like Sunbay to bring compelling new digital content solutions to the marketplace. This partnership with Sunbay moves us into the mobile data solutions market, where traffic is more than doubling every year and which is rapidly becoming one of the most important strategic components of the broadband access toolkit."
