WIND BUYS NEW ADAMIND LICENSE TO BROADEN MOBILE CONTENT SERVICES FOR 13 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS

Adamind’s Spire™ media adaptation software enables Italy’s third largest operator to launch seamless rich content services covering voice, internet, mobile and video

MILIPITAS, Calif. – January 30, 2006: Adamind (LSE: ADA), the world’s leading provider of media adaptation software for mobile messaging, content and convergence services, announces that Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA, Italy’s third largest mobile phone company and its largest Internet service provider, has bought a new licence from Adamind as part of a major expansion of rich content services for its thirteen million mobile subscribers.

The agreement further extends Adamind license from a previous integration with Wind's WAP download services offered via Wind's mobile portal to supporting also Wind's MMS services.

Wind, widely regarded as one of Europe’s most innovative mobile operators, has been an Adamind customer since July 2003, when it became the first European operator to introduce a preview package enabling subscribers to preview rich content before purchase for download to their handsets. Wind’s mobile portal, providing rich media mobile service, recorded 1.4 million unique visitors in 2005.

Shailendra Jain, Chief Executive of Adamind, said: “We are delighted to be closely involved in the expansion of Wind’s rich media content services. This agreement demonstrates the strength of our relationship with Wind and the scalability of Adamind’s Spire media adaptation platform to address rapidly rising growth in MMS traffic.”

Adamind's media adaptation software solution is integrated as a central component within Wind’s Nokia multi-media messaging centres (MMSC). Adamind's software is the world's first Open Mobile Alliance STI-compliant product. The OMA's Standard Transcoding Interface (STI) is the first specification that resolves the integration problem associated with interfacing a Media Adapter platform with various messaging and content delivery platforms.
