Leading Russian CDMA Operator Sky Link Launches Qualcomm’s BREW Solution in 31 Regions of the Russian Federation and Countries of the CIS and Eastern Europe

MOSCOW and SAN DIEGO .— Sky Link, a leading communications provider and the largest CDMA operator in the Russian Federation, and Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies and data solutions, have signed an agreement to commercially launch BREW® wireless data services in 31 regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Eastern Europe, including Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Under the terms of the agreement, Sky Link will not only deliver BREW services to subscribers within its vast network of licensed territories, but also host BREW services on behalf of regional operators to deliver advanced mobile content to millions of people.

Sky Link launched BREW services to its subscribers in Moscow and Saint Petersburg in November 2006. In 2007, Sky Link recognized the growth in popularity of non-voice data services in other regions of Russia and saw profits from all of its high-speed mobile data services grow to 35 percent of its annual revenue. With this latest agreement, BREW data services will be launched within Sky Link’s network and partner operator networks by Q3 2008 on a number of BREW devices. Leveraging its CDMA450® network and advanced BREW applications and services, Sky Link will provide its subscribers with access to the latest in mobile content, including mobile games, ringtones, media players and mobile business services.

“Since launching BREW in Russia in late 2006, we’ve had very successful results in offering data services to subscribers in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, with the popularity of non-voice data services greatly increasing in other regions of Russia,” said Gulnarah Hasianova, CEO of Sky Link. “This new agreement greatly expands BREW data services, enabling us to provide content to our subscribers in Russia as well as to the operators we provide voice and data roaming to in Eastern Europe and other regions of the Russian Federation. In addition, with our planned future launch of CDMA2000® EV-DO Rev. A technology, we will be able to offer video services to our subscribers.”

“Sky Link demonstrated true leadership in delivering advanced wireless content to Russia with the original agreement to offer BREW services in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and we were extremely pleased with the enthusiastic response they received from their subscribers,” said Luciano Splendorini, senior director of business development for Qualcomm Internet Services, Europe. “This latest agreement further validates Sky Link’s commitment to offering the latest in data services to its subscribers, with an expansion of coverage that will see mobile content available to millions of new addressable subscribers.”
