Schlumberger Test & Transactions, a business segment of Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB), today announced it has teamed with PCS Innovations (PCSI), to jointly create a high-speed content distribution platform to be offered by Schlumberger as the OASYS(R) solution. The solution is based upon the PCSI mobileMAGIC(TM) software platform and incorporates the features and security systems inherent in the Schlumberger Simera subscriber identity module (SIM) card. The OASYS solution enables operators to optimally deliver value-added services to Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) wireless customers.

"The mobileMAGIC platform gives Simera card users the high-speed software platform and interface required to efficiently integrate our SIM card-based, value-added services with our clients' wireless networks," said Ed Jacobsen, vice president, Mobile Communications, Schlumberger. "It is critical for our customers to deliver content at a high speed. The OASYS solution and Simera card enable us to provide them with that significant capability."

"Simera cards represent a very flexible, multiapplication architecture that can be tailored to meet specific market and security requirements," reports Martin Hebert, president of PCS Innovations. "With our mobileMAGIC platform, we are able to provide a high-speed gateway to Schlumberger that enables their clients to efficiently deliver value-added services to millions of subscribers."

The OASYS solution enhances wireless operator networks with its high-speed content delivery capability using Short Messaging Service (SMS) technology. Its robust features enable scalable capacity based upon individual customer requirements and business growth. The OASYS offering will be available in the fourth quarter of 2000 on Windows NT and in the first quarter of 2001 on Sun Solaris servers.
