URL(s): www.omnisky.com
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10, 2001--
OmniSky's industry-leading wireless services now enable telecommunications carriers, online
service providers and hardware manufacturers to offer differentiated wireless services to their users
OmniSky Corporation (Nasdaq:OMNY), a global provider of award-winning wireless
applications and services, today introduced OmniSky Oxygen, a comprehensive wireless
technology platform designed to enable telecommunications carriers, online service providers,
hardware manufacturers, and others to rapidly deploy next-generation wireless services to their
customers. OmniSky's wireless applications and services help customers create a competitive
advantage and reduce the time required to deliver innovative wireless services users value.
OmniSky set the standard for delivering a high-quality user experience for wireless access to
e-mail and the Internet on mobile devices. In recognition of its success in creating an outstanding
end-to-end consumer experience, OmniSky has received numerous industry awards, including Best
of 2000 awards from Business Week, PC Magazine and CNET, and PC Magazine's 2001 Editor's
Choice. Now OmniSky is providing its technology, expertise and experience to enable other
operators to provide superior wireless services to their users. OmniSky will enable these companies
to offer differentiated wireless data solutions on any mobile device, from WAP-compliant cell
phones to PDAs and laptop computers, and on the most widely available wireless networks, such
as CDPD, CDMA, GSM and GPRS.
"OmniSky has created an industry-leading wireless data service with proven market success,"
said Patrick McVeigh, chairman and CEO of OmniSky. "By providing these comprehensive
turnkey wireless applications OmniSky enables mobile operators to rapidly deploy new
revenue-generating services while providing mobile subscribers with a more compelling,
easy-to-use, and personalized mobile Internet experience."
OmniSky provides a menu of wireless applications, including Communications Services, Content
Delivery Services, and Location-Based Services. This offering provides carriers, online service
providers, and hardware manufactures flexibility for creating and quickly deploying customized and
customer-branded wireless data offerings. OmniSky Oxygen can be customized to meet the specific
needs of an individual customer -- from a turnkey solution that incorporates the full suite of
OmniSky services to a selection of modular components that can be integrated into existing
services.
OmniSky provides high-value core applications as well as operational and support services.
Unlike other offerings that deliver only a partial solution, the OmniSky offering creates a
comprehensive solution designed to provide management of the complete end-to-end user
experience while taking advantage of specific device capabilities.
OmniSky expects to begin delivering the first solutions based on its wireless application services
during the fourth quarter of this year.
OmniSky is headquartered in San Francisco, Calif. For more information visit
