Calypso piqued the interest of many Mobile Carriers by demonstrating its ASNAP ASNAP Automatic Switching of Network Access Points (CalypsoWireless Inc.) (tm) technology which provides a system that enables Mobile Carriers and Internet Service Providers to identify and authenticate the mobile user. This creates a platform for revenue sharing revenue sharing

 between the synergistic companies and increased revenues for them by delivering new added services such as two-way, real-time video conferencing on Calypso's cellular phone using Calypso's ASNAP(tm) patented technology (U.S. patent number 6,680,923). It could also provide significant savings to Mobile Carriers in additional frequency spectrum and infrastructure equipment by offloading capacity to the Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN See wireless LAN.

) and IP networks while providing additional sources of revenues.

Calypso's team, led by the President and Chief Executive Officer, George Schilling, is scheduled to conduct demonstrations of the company's C1250i Wi-Fi cellular phone to different Mobile Carriers in US and Europe within the next few weeks. "We believe this is a significant turning point for our company. With our technology, Mobile Carriers will be able to substantially increase their revenues and user base and offer higher bandwidth services without having to purchase an additional licensed radio frequency spectrum," says George Schilling, President & CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

Mobile users will be able to make two-way, real-time video conferencing and VoIP calls over the WLAN or switch over to the Mobile network when outside of a "hotspot." Since the C1250i's browser can be used both inside and outside the WLAN, users always have access to the Internet. Instant messaging between C1250i handsets on a wireless LAN is also possible. The handset's battery lasts about 4 hours for VoIP calls. The Calypso C1250i comes with headphones (Mini Stereo Jack), a cradle with USB USB

Last September at the Excellence in Mobile Communications Awards Banquet, Frost & Sullivan presented Calypso Wireless, Inc. with the 2004 Excellence in Technology Award for the development of the company's innovative wireless switching technology, ASNAP(TM).

 are creating an environment that is more conducive to the convergence of cellular and Wi-Fi services for both data and voice, and ASNAP(TM) is Calypso's innovative technology in this space," says Frost & Sullivan industry analyst Rajesh Kannan.

According to research by the high-tech market research firm, In-Stat/MDR, the marriage of Voice over Wireless Area Network (VoWLAN) and cellular technology will be arriving sooner than most would think. By 2006, VoWLAN/cellular handsets will be in many enterprise customer hands, and starting to enter the home market as well. "The VoWLAN/cellular combo handset has all the abilities of a regular cellular handset, plus voice over IP over WLAN. Customers get excellent coverage in the areas where they talk most, such as their homes and at work, and carriers can offer VoIP service cheap, because a minute of VoWLAN airtime costs them only a fraction of what a cellular call costs," says Allen Nogee, a Principal Analyst with In-Stat/MDR.
