Campbell, CA and Yokohama, Japan – September 12, 2006
VisualOn Inc., a leading provider of software-based mobile multimedia solutions and SKNET Corporation Ltd., a leader in mobile television for PC, cellular, Wi-Fi and broadband enabled devices, today announced an agreement to deliver a mobile television solution to the ISDB-T market in Japan.  The solution will enable customers in Japan to watch TV programming from wherever they are by turning their mobile computers into mobile televisions.

The combined solution supports Japanese ISDB-T mobile TV broadcasts, which include national news, sports, entertainment and full-length music videos from top Japanese artists. The combined solution helps enhance one of the world’s most successful Mobile TV deployments by linking individual laptop computers to the ISDB-T broadcast network.  The combination of SKNET_ISDB-T 1 segment Mobile TV_CardBus.USB, EXpresss card series and VisualOn’s Media Player Plus, which includes the capability to playback H.264 live TVcontent with software codecs, has established a level of video and audio quality not available on other mobile TV solutions.

"Mobile television is very popular in Japan and it continues to show strong growth.  But like most consumer- driven markets, the end user is demanding better quality and reliability.  The strength of our ISDB-T 1 segment Mobile TV Card is that a user can watch at any time and at any speed.  Whether in a car, in a train or other high speed environment, a user can watch stable high quality TV content,” said Kanuru Seno, President of SKNET Corporation.  “By combining our SKNET_ISDB-T 1 segment Mobile TV card, which increases the reliability and quality of the ISDB-T broadcast signal, with VisualOn’s Media Player Plus software solution, we have ensured the mobile TV signal will be played back with HDTV-like quality.”

"We continue to see strong growth in the mobile TV market world wide.  We are very excited to be working with SKNET, one of the leading technology companies in one of the world’s most advanced mobile TV markets,” stated Yang Cai, President of VisualOn.  “SKNET has a very strong technical team and is very forward thinking.  They realized that the consumer is demanding a total solution with very high quality and reliability and understood early on that they would need to have an exceptional multimedia player to make SKNET_ISDB-T 1 segment Mobile TVsuccessful in Japan.  Reliably capturing the mobile TV signal to the device is only part of the problem.  The broadcast in H.264 format must also be decoded and played back on the mobile device.  With our Media Player Plus solution we are able to play back H.264 content with HDTV-like quality.  Working with SKNET, we have taken mobile TV to the next level for the Japanese consumer.”
