NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2000

Product Provides End-users With Total Flexibility for Internet

Information Delivery -- How to Receive It, in What Format,

When and Over What Device

Atinav Inc. (www.atinav.com), a provider of universal Internet communications software, today launched the beta version of its patent-pending, Java-based software product aveAccess.

aveAccess acts as a translator between the Internet and any communication device (from traditional telephones to PDAs to WAP phones), providing the ability to access and translate Internet or network resource data in real time over any global network carrier.

The software can recognize and translate all domestic and international communication carriers and hardware (bearer) protocols. aveAccess automatically translates the requested information to the appropriate format that is needed to deliver the data to the customer at any communications device. Unlike other Web content delivery software, aveAccess can convert Internet data on-the-fly upon customer demand, as opposed to converting data in advance for customers to access.

"aveAccess levels the playing field of communications technology by making it possible for all users to access the Internet from any communication device," said Matin Moosa, COO, Atinav Inc. "With our product, companies can make their information accessible to their customers anytime, anywhere, through any device. We plan on marketing this product to any business that needs to communicate data from the Internet or a network to end-users. As nearly half of all wireless subscribers, roughly about 38.5 million users, have a digital service that allows them to connect to the Internet, we see a tremendous market opportunity for aveAccess to break the bond to a single carrier."

aveAccess consists of three main components for a modular architecture:

-- WAP Gateway (WG) -- the scalable backbone of the product, the WAP gateway
supports any mobile network standard (GSM, is-136, CDMA, PHS, CDPD, PDC-P,
iDEN, FLEX, etc.) and is accessible from any planned wireless service. The
gateway can maintain subscriber information, manage the billing information of
a registered user and create personalized profiles for each user. It supports
multiple WAP specifications, including: WAP Push, WTLS (WAP security layer) and
WMLScript. The support of these other specifications of WAP will allow true
m-commerce (mobile).

-- Audio Web (AW) -- because most phones currently are not WAP-enabled, these
devices cannot access the small parts of the Internet that WAP currently
provides. The audio Web module can convert HTML into speech (Voice Mark-up
Language) and speech into text. Users are able to connect to the Internet over
a landline phone or any other device using their voice to navigate the Web.
Navigational commands enable users to both navigate a Web site in addition to
sending and receiving e-mails.

-- Wireless Server (WS) -- the wireless server integrates Sun

Microsystems Jini(TM) technology. The wireless server makes it

possible for wireless devices to instantly access and communicate

with other Jini-enabled devices (i.e. VCR, Refrigerator, LAN,

etc.) through the use of the Internet. This allows aveAccess to

function with existing and future Jini devices.

Although the product will be a pure B2B market play, end-users will truly benefit. aveAccess provides end-users with greater freedom and control over when and how they can utilize the Internet. aveAccess will enable mobile workers to remotely access Web data and connect with networks from anywhere. This level of functionality will save businesses time, reduce overhead, and maximize productivity.

aveAccess also will be able to be seamlessly integrated with Atinav's aveComm product. aveComm provides java-based, feature-rich modules such as Voice-over-IP, application sharing, white board, co-browsing, HTML form sharing, and more. By using these products in conjunction, businesses will be able to complete the full range of communication and collaboration activities over the Internet -- both PC-to-PC and device-to-device.
