REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Ubiquity Software (LSE: UBQ.L) announced today that it has signed a global partnership agreement with Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei"), one of the world's leading networking and communications equipment suppliers to incorporate its Session Initiation Protocol ("SIP") Application Server ("A/S") as an embedded part of Huawei's IP Multimedia Subsystem ("IMS") portfolio of products, where Huawei can provide tailor-made state-of-the-art End-to-End IMS solution to customers. Huawei is utilizing Ubiquity's Application Creation Environment to develop and deliver wireless, wireline and converged SIP-based applications to its customers worldwide who are service providers. The first extended Ubiquity SIP A/S platform based application solution is expected to be generally available to customers later this year. Ubiquity is also enabling Huawei with IMS proof of concept applications such as video See What I See (SWIS), Multiplayer Gaming, Chat Room and Multimedia Conferencing.

"With years of experience deploying next-generation network solutions in over 20 countries, Huawei deeply understands carriers' needs, and is experiencing a strong demand for our new SIP-based applications," said Mr. Jun Zha, Director of Huawei IMS product line. "Ubiquity's SIP Application Server allows us to jointly develop IMS applications to demonstrate the value of our joint application creation environment and address our customers' needs. We look forward to a long-term partnership with Ubiquity."

"We are proud that Huawei has chosen Ubiquity to play an important role in its delivery of the next generation of IMS applications," said Mr. Ian McLaren, CEO of Ubiquity Software Corporation.
