  OPENWAVE EXTENDS RELATIONSHIP WITH AT&T WIRELESS
  

  Openwave Expands Mobile Gateway Solutions for AT&T Wireless' Networks
 
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - January 22, 2002 -- Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), the worldwide leader of open IP-based communication infrastructure software and applications, today announced that they have extended their five-year relationship for mobile Internet service with AT&T Wireless (NYSE: AWE). AT&T Wireless has extended its existing agreement with Openwave by licensing the latest release of the Openwave™ Mobile Access Gateway. Openwave currently provides WAP gateway services for AT&T Wireless' GSM (Global System for Mobile communications)/GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) wireless network as well as their CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data)-based PocketNet Web phone service to enable the wireless carrier to deliver the power of the Internet to wireless handsets.

As the foundation of Openwave™ Services OS™, the latest release of the Mobile Access Gateway enables mobile operators such as AT&T Wireless to offer advanced services to their subscribers. Mobile Access Gateway complies with the latest specification of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP 1.2.1), and integrates several high-value features, such as advanced billing support and WAP Push, a technology that enables alerting/notification and pushes content to WAP-enabled mobile devices. In addition, the gateway brings increased personalization capabilities, while providing network operators with a clear evolution path for expanding services over next generation networks.

The Openwave gateway solutions offer multi-mode - browsing support, from XHTML, WML, HDML to CHTML, allowing the carrier to offer a wide range of content and access methods to its subscribers.

"Over five years ago, our companies became joint pioneers in the mobile Internet frontier - AT&T Wireless was Openwave's first network operator customer," said Mike Mulica, senior vice president, office of customer operations at Openwave. "The extension of our relationship with AT&T Wireless provides validation that Openwave's gateway solutions have helped AT&T Wireless offer wireless data services that have made them a leader in this market."
