Merger to Create World Leader in Internet Access for Public Transport


GOTHENBURG, Sweden and SITTINGBOURNE, England, July 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- Swedish on-train Internet pioneer Icomera to acquire UK's award-winning
Moovera Networks

Icomera AB, the world's leading supplier of Internet connectivity to
trains, has agreed to acquire UK-based Moovera Networks, the award-winning
manufacturer of fixed and mobile communications systems. As a result of the
merger Icomera AB will become the foremost provider of in-vehicle,
industrial-grade Internet access technology -- encompassing trains,
buses, coaches, trucks and ferries -- with a global customer base including
many of the world's largest transport operators.

"The market for Internet connectivity on public transport is developing
at a very rapid pace," said Ola Sjolin, Chief Executive Officer at Icomera.
"Whether for Wi-Fi hotspots, CCTV monitoring, vehicle tracking or streaming
entertainment, real-time connections to buses and trains are increasingly in
demand. Moovera has acquired a strong reputation in the industry as a
developer of innovative yet price competitive technology and has established
an impressive customer base that in many instances overlaps with our own. It
was a natural progression for Icomera and Moovera to combine forces to offer
a complete range of solutions from low-cost bus products to high-end systems
certified for the railway industry. Moving forward we will continue to build
on Icomera's position as the dominant force in on-board vehicle
communications."

Icomera currently offers high-reliability, backhaul-agnostic
communications gateways supporting concurrent satellite, cellular and
trackside networks in a single in-vehicle system that -- using patented
technology -- automatically switches to use the best wide area network
without session interruption. With the acquisition of Moovera Networks,
Icomera will add Moovera's multi-radio Moovbox product family to create the
most advanced portfolio of fixed and mobile broadband gateways on the market.
In addition to vehicular applications, Moovbox gateways have been used
increasingly for public safety and outdoor municipal wireless applications,
and by cellular network operators seeking to expand into Wi-Fi hotspot
services.

"For some time now Moovera and Icomera have been addressing the same
markets from different directions," said Jim Baker, CEO and founder of
Moovera. "While Icomera has focused on sophisticated and complex rail
systems, we have been targeting the broader market for Internet connectivity
on road transport and outdoor networks. Many of the world's largest transport
operators like National Express and First Group own rail and bus networks and
are already deploying both Icomera and Moovera solutions; the merger of our
two businesses will create a single supplier with the best possible range of
solutions for our customers worldwide."

Following the acquisition, Icomera will adopt the Moovbox brand for its
new combined product line and leverage Moovera's worldwide network of Channel
Partners who sell and support Moovbox systems in their regional markets.
Moovera's Kent-based operations and its nine employees will become Icomera's
UK office, bringing the total workforce in Sweden and the UK to over forty
people. Moovera CEO Jim Baker will take up the post of Chief Marketing
Officer at Icomera. The financial terms of the acquisition are not disclosed.
