DaTang Mobile Licenses Dilithium’s AnswerFast^TM Plus Technology

Petaluma, CA. June 27, 2005 - Dilithium, the leading supplier of 3G multimedia solutions, announced today that DaTang Mobile, a leading mobile communication equipment manufacturer in China, has licensed Dilithium’s AnswerFast Plus™ technology. AnswerFast Plus technology reduces the call session set-up time to less than one second, which is comparable to voice calls.  Present 3G video telephony handsets on the market today typically take 5-8 seconds for the voice and video channels to be established. AnswerFast Plus addresses the concerns voiced by the mobile operators to shorten this time in order to improve the quality of the user experience.  

 “The licensing of AnswerFast Plus supports DaTang’s leadership and innovation in the China Market. This is the best technology available and will enable our next generation of TD-SCDMA 3G handsets to be even faster and more efficient,” said Mr. Sun Yuwang, Vice President of DaTang Mobile. “Dilithium is recognized as the leader in 3G video telephony protocol solutions and we are pleased to continue our partnership with them.”

“DaTang Mobile has pioneered TD-SCDMA and it has become an important standard. DaTang conducted extensive research and testing and has chosen AnswerFast Plus over the competing technologies as the standard for their handsets,” said Paul Zuber, Chief Executive Officer of Dilithium.
