BENEFON LAUNCHES ADVANCED GSM/GPS PROTECTION, SURVEILLANCE AND TRACKING DEVICE

Finnish wireless and GPS technology company Benefon today announced the launch of
the TWIG Discovery Pro, available throughout Europe from Q2 (April 07), which
brings together a rugged, portable device with location-based services and mobile
technology.

As well as being a fully functional mobile phone, the TWIG Discovery Pro uses its
on-board GPS hardware to deliver additional features. These features include TWIG
Finder, which gives users the ability to locate and contact another TWIG user;
and also TWIG Alert, which provides extra safety and security in unforeseen
circumstances, by sending the user's GPS location to a pre-set contact list at
the touch of a button.

The TWIG Discovery Pro is designed to assist in a variety of activities and
functions, including surveillance, personal protection, and asset protection -
the tracking of both vehicles and people. Furthermore, these features can be
accessed using TWIG internet services, which take personal surveillance online by
allowing you the flexibility to track and locate TWIG Discovery Pro users from
your PC web browser.

"TWIG Discovery Pro is a key strategic device in our B2B portfolio," said Benefon
acting CEO Tomi Raita.  "With these communication, positioning and telematic
capabilities the fully portable device makes the most expensive resource
management packages unnecessary. By using the TWIG Discovery Pro, businesses can
track not only their fleet but also their personnel all with the same
application. We are confident that the TWIG Discovery Pro will prove to be a big
hit with businesses wishing to make use of GPS to address their various
protection, surveillance and security needs."
