The Europhone, the first commercially released product as a result of this agreement, is an elegantly designed smart phone that offers a broad range of value-added and interactive services to the consumer over the telephone network. Key to these services is support of the Proton Electronic Purse and multi-applications technology that allows consumers to load value onto the card, use it for payment of electronic services and provide user authentication for secure home banking. This functionality, combined with enhanced communication services such as telephone directory search, electronic mail, fax and SMS messaging, provides the user with a broad range of communications and home cash pointfunctions in one convenient design. Fueling the MarketFollowing successful introduction of the Proton electronic purse in 15 countries, there are significant opportunities for international expansion and increased market penetration fueled by the availability of consumer devices that support value loading and electronic payments in the home environment. CPS Europe and PROTON WORLD acknowledge this fact completely and have established a technology partnership agreement in order to cooperate on the development of new consumer products that support Proton functionality in the home. The aim of this agreement is to develop a range of low cost consumer products that support Proton, including a simple home value-loading device, a computer peripheral, the Europhone smart phone and a full Web access / services terminal. Armand Linkens, Managing Director of PROTON WORLD said: "This agreement with CPS Europe is a key part of our strategy of finding world-class partners to enable us to expand the home use of Proton-based smart cards, not only for telephone-based applications and e-commerce, but also as an alternative to ATMs for the loading of e-cash onto the cards. The fusion of Proton's technological expertise with the consumer products design and marketing expertise of CPS will prove to be a winning combination." "Our primary focus is on producing highly integrated, low-cost consumer communication products" said Cor Pijnenburg, Company CEO and President of the company's parent Pijnenburg Management Group. "We aim to leverage our development expertise and knowledge of international telecom and broadcast standards to enable solutions that will allow consumers to fully benefit from the advantages that industry deregulation, the Internet and digital broadcasting will bring. Our cooperation with PROTON WORLD is seen as absolutely key to supporting this process." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 15 The ProductBased on PROTON WORLD technology, the Europhone is the result of extensive engineering and styling by CPS Europe to create a low-cost, user friendly, highly functional design.
