Press Release Summary: UbiEst competes for the Social Networking category
introducing a new LBS application for the consumer market: UbiSafe, a mobile client
application for family peace-of-mind.

Press Release Body: UbiSafe is a location based mobile service for personal
security, contact locating and emergency needs. UbiSafe is targeted to the
consumers' market: it can be used for monitoring elder or invalid persons in need of
attendance, for personal safety (at night, in walking risk zones, etc.) or for our
children security.
UbiSafe comes as a mobile java (and java RIM) client enabling to verify and track
family members' positions on map, send/Receive emergency messages, set up
personalized "safe" zones (geo-fencing) and create personalized notification rules
(ie. when child leaves location).

Two main features bring UbiSafe in the forefront of technological innovation in LBS
for personal security: parents can create a "virtual leash" for preventing children
to move out of sight and activate a chasing mode to track simoultaneously child's
movements related to theirs while trying to reach him. A graphic toolbar helps
approach the target with basic colors: red for target moving apart, yellow for
constant distance and green for approaching target.

The second feature is aimed to help adolescents enjoy greater freedom of movement
ensuring tranquillity of the parents: thanks to a GPS receiver Mom and Daddy can be
warned if newly-licensed son/daughter excedees an agreed speed-limit by car or if a
suddend breaks occours.

UbiSafe is the third product of UbiEst Location Based Mobile Services Family, wich
includes
UbiLoc, a mobile client for java and BlackBerry GPS embedded devices addressed to
the professional market enabling phones to work as a "personal black box" combined
with a web-based fleet-management interface and UbiNav UbiEst's white label off
board navigation service launched during 2007 edition of NAVTEQ LBS Challenge in
Barcelona.

At Mobile World Congress 2008, UbiEst will host a booth inside NAVTEQ Stand 1G45,
Hall 1 Ground Floor.
