Tecnomen Lifetree Corporation           PRESS RELEASE                           
                                        17th February 2010 at 10.00 am          

TECNOTREE PARTNERS WITH AIRWIDE SOLUTIONS FOR COMPREHENSIVE VAS SOLUTIONS       

Tecnotree and Airwide Solutions have announced that they have entered into a    
global non-exclusive distribution agreement. Under terms of the agreement, the  
companies make available to operators world-wide a leading portfolio of next    
generation messaging infrastructure, OSS/BSS and value-added services solutions.
The collaboration is expected to help both companies more extensively serve     
mobile operators in developed markets like Western Europe, and emerging markets 
like Africa and Latin America.                                                  

Emerging regions are increasingly tapping into mobile phone technology to       
improve quality of life in the region. For example many operators are now       
offering low-cost and, high-quality value added services to millions of people  
in the developing world. As a key underpinning of these services, operators need
infrastructure that meets the increased demand and, conform with security and   
reliability requirements as well as are flexible for tomorrow's yet unseen      
innovative service offerings. Together, Tecnotree and Airwide Solutions can     
provide comprehensive, out-of-the-box solutions that meet these types of need.  

Additionally, Tecnotree's and Airwide's comprehensive portfolio is of interest  
to operators in developed markets like Western Europe, enabling operators to    
optimize their service delivery infrastructure, create an efficient service     
creation environment for launching profitable services in the shortest          
time-to-market, monetize their network investments by enhancing 3rd party       
services and applications, and drive new revenue from existing assets making    
them ad-funded, for example.                                                    

“Working together with Airwide will extend our value and reach we can provide to
operators in both emerging and developed markets. Together we can offer powerful
VAS solutions to operators worldwide, satisfying their needs for today and      
tomorrow. We expect this to be a fruitful relationship for both our company and 
our joint customers,” said Leena Koskelainen, Director, Tecnotree VAS Solution  
Center.                                                                         

“We are very pleased to work with Tecnotree and expect the comprehensive nature 
of our combined solutions, as well as our mutual experience in both developed   
and emerging regions, will bring high value to operators in all parts of the    
globe,” said Antero Norkio, head of channels for Airwide Solutions. “With the   
portfolio from two leading providers of next-generation messaging and VAS       
solutions, we have the tool set that enables operators to create segmented,     
interactive and profitable services”.
