PHONE.COM TO LICENSE TIBCO SOFTWARE'S REAL-TIME INFRASTRUCTURE SOFTWARE FOR WIRELESS SERVICES

Agreement Enables Wireless Network Operators To Deliver Highly Personalized Internet-Based Information Services With Proven Scalability For Millions Of Users

TIBCO Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX) and Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: PHCM) today announced an agreement that will enable wireless network operators to deliver highly personalized, real-time, Internet-based information services to their wireless subscribers. Phone.com will embed TIBCO's TIB®/ActiveEnterprise® e-business infrastructure software into its MyPhone™ platform. By licensing TIB/ActiveEnterprise, Phone.com will provide wireless operators with a proven, scalable, world class framework for the delivery of news, stock quotes, sports scores, e-mail and other services to their subscribers.

"As the consumer demand for wireless Internet services increases, wireless operators must be able to provide customers with real-time, dependable services," said Ben Linder, vice president of marketing for Phone.com. "Our partnership with TIBCO will provide operators with an industrial-strength, e-business infrastructure that can handle millions of mobile users."

Utilizing the same TIBCO software infrastructure that powers the world's leading Internet portals - such as Yahoo!, AltaVista, CBS Sportsline and Lycos - Phone.com will now enable wireless operators to quickly develop and deploy customized Internet portals, helping them strengthen subscriber loyalty through their own Internet presence. The MyPhone framework will enable wireless operators to offer a cohesive set of services that integrate their telephony infrastructure with operator selected wireless-enabled Internet applications; providing users with mobile, multi-device, voice or view (browser, SMS) access to their personalized information.

"As Internet access via wireless devices becomes ubiquitous, wireless network operators will need to deliver advanced personalized services that differentiate their offerings from the crowded marketplace," said TIBCO Software chairman and CEO Vivek Ranadivé. "Phone.com has long charted the course for providing software and services that enable wireless access to Internet-based information services. This relationship enables Phone.com to deliver a new breed of wireless e-business offerings that will position it as a leader in this arena well into the future."
