Openwave Gets Personal at CTIA Wireless 2006

Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), the leading provider of open software products and services for the communications industry, today announced the Company will showcase a variety of next-generation information, communication and entertainment solutions and services enabled by Openwave during CTIA Wireless 2006 (Booth #536) in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 5-7.

"Openwave is a driving force behind the dramatic growth of data services, working with our customers to fuel innovation and maximize the revenue potential of their network," said David Peterschmidt, president and CEO, Openwave. "Given the increasing level of competition resulting from network convergence and new market entrants, including portal providers, it is incumbent upon operators to innovate faster with differentiating features that set their value apart from the competition. We see enormous business benefits in developing a personalized mobile experience that aligns carriers' offerings closely with their customers needs."

Openwave executives will participate in panel discussions at this year's conference to discuss key industry trends and the role of software and services in driving innovation and personalization. Richard Wong, senior vice president of products and services, will speak on a panel entitled, "Software: The Glue of the Mobile System" on Thursday, April 6 from 1 - 2:30 p.m. PT in Room N113.

In addition, Guillaume Decugis, vice president of Musiwave, an Openwave company, will participate on a panel entitled, "The Mobile DRM Conundrum: Enabling Super Distribution" on Thursday, April 6 from 3:30 - 5 p.m. PT in Room N113. Musiwave, a leading provider of mobile music entertainment services to operators and media companies worldwide, recently announced its expansion in the North American market after signing a deal with Canadian telecommunications company, TELUS, to deploy Musiwave's full-track music download service for its mobile phone subscribers.

Musiwave's Music Wizard service, delivered with technology partner Gracenote, a leader in global digital entertainment technology, will also be featured as an interactive game in the Openwave booth. "Get That Tune" will put attendees in competition with the Musiwave service, battling to identify a song title and artist name before the Music Wizard.
