SAN DIEGO, May 31, 2001--Webraska demonstrated wireless navigation and traffic services during the
BREW 2001 conference, held in San Diego.
Webraska ported its leading navigation applications, including turn-by-turn directions and traffic applications onto Qualcomm's
Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless(TM) (BREW(TM)) application platform.
QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital
wireless technology, and Webraska, the worldwide provider of wireless navigation services and technologies, have signed a
non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) where Webraska will be developing wireless applications for BREW(TM).
"BREW(TM) provides a very powerful environment for wireless applications," said Charles Nahas, Webraska's General Manager
for North America "It will allow us to provide advanced and powerful applications and services to wireless users and address very
efficiently the navigation and mapping market."
Webraska is the worldwide provider of wireless navigation, spatial searching, mapping and traffic information services and
technologies for telecom operators and car manufacturers.

everyday, increasing revenues, customer loyalty and brand recognition for leading service providers around the world, including SFR,

anywhere in most of Europe, North America and increasingly in the Asia-Pacific region, 'location & navigation-enabled' wireless

directly to all developers via Webraska's ASP Centres, and via licensees of the Global Navigation Server(TM) platform and Global
Navigation Database(TM).
