Cybercom wins deal with Volvo Cars

Cybercom is commissioned to quality assure Bluetooth® solutions for Volvo Car's
model programme.

Cybercom received responsibility for quality assurance management - to ensure
that when using Bluetooth devices, current and future cell phone units can
connect to cars. This is a global project; implementation occurs in Europe, the
US, and Asia."We've seen and will continue to see a trend that increasingly involves various
two-way communication interfaces to cars - using consumer electronics units such
as in telephony, navigation, audio and video solutions," says Patrik Boman,
president and CEO of the Cybercom Group. "One of several challenges for the
industry is to enable functionality between users and cars."

Volvo Cars signed a contract with Cybercom regarding the Bluetooth
InterOperability Test. The Volvo Cars model programme launched the Bluetooth®
hands-free system (integrated Bluetooth unit) that connects itself (using
Bluetooth) to cell phones. This enables use of the car's integrated displayer,
steering wheel buttons, and speakers for safer phone conversations."The Bluetooth communication interface is a well-known standard with high
penetration primarily derived from mobile phone manufacturers" says Håkan
Fernström, Automotive Solutions director at Cybercom. "And although Bluetooth is
a standard, it varies when it comes to various manufacturers' solutions and
models. Cybercom's task is to assure functionality of selected phones for Volvo
Cars and its customers."

Telecom, Internet and media (TIM) merge within the vehicle industry and
constitute one of Cybercom's core areas. Bluetooth is an example of a
communications link for connecting TIM solutions to various applications for
which Cybercom holds a leading position. Right now, Cybercom works with car
manufacturers, suppliers, and several of the world's leading mobile device
manufacturers - to develop mobile solutions and experience strong growth.
