Press Release Body = Royal Tunbridge Wells, August 8, 2007. - Synchronica today
announced a free trial of its Mobile Gateway 3.0,

providing mobile synchronization between Microsoft Exchange and the native email
client of the iPhone. Owners of the

Apple smartphone can now try Mobile Gateway free of charge to send and receive
corporate email using their iPhones -

without having to install any software on the device or behind the corporate firewall.

Until now, owners of Apple\'s ground-breaking smartphone have been largely locked out
of corporate mail systems,

because the built-in email client of the iPhone only supports Microsoft Exchange via
direct IMAP/SMTP connections -

a feature which is often blocked by corporate firewalls due to security concerns.

Synchronica now provides a secure gateway in the corporate environment using
Microsoft\'s Outlook Web Access (OWA) to

retrieve email from the Exchange server, a service enabled by many enterprises to
provide users with access to

corporate email from home or while traveling.

Mobile Gateway is a perfect companion to Apple\'s iTunes application. While iTunes
synchronizes calendar and contacts

with Microsoft Outlook, Mobile Gateway keeps iPhone users connected to their
corporate email once they have left the

office. It provides tight integration between the iPhone and Microsoft Exchange and
automatically delivers emails to

the built-in email application of the iPhone, including support for folders and
attachments.

Replies and new messages are relayed back to the corporate Exchange server and
appear in the \'Sent Items\' folder in

Outlook when the user comes back to the office - no need for the cumbersome
copy-to-self workaround.

Signing up for the service is easy and straightforward. Thanks to Mobile Gateway\'s
unique zero footprint

architecture, users simply register their iPhones with Synchronica\'s Mobile Gateway
and can start to send and

receive wireless email immediately - no software to be installed on the device and
no connectors or redirectors to

be installed in the corporate network.

Early adopters of the Apple iPhone interested in a test drive of Mobile Gateway 3.0
can visit www.synchronica.com to

sign up for the free 60-day trial starting today. After the trial period,
Synchronica intends to announce migration

options to a commercially supported solution including offerings through service
providers.

Commenting on the launch of the free trial, Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of
Synchronica, said, \"Mobile Gateway has the

unique advantage that it does not require firewall modification or any software to
be installed in the corporate

network. So this won\'t cause any headaches for IT managers when their executives
bring their iPhones into the office

and ask them to get corporate email on their latest gadget. Other vendors are
claiming support for Microsoft

Exchange synchronization with the Apple iPhone, but most are still developing their
service and use cumbersome

redirectors or even plan to offer browser-based access to corporate email. We are
the only company that can offer

this service straightaway with zero footprint and fully integrated with the built-in
email client of the iPhone.\"

Mobile Gateway is operated on the \'edge\' of the network, offered by a service
provider as a hosted service or

deployed in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) of the corporate network. Data is protected
during synchronization by

encrypted IMAP/SMTP connections to the iPhone and secure HTTPS connections to
Microsoft Exchange. Mobile Gateway

provides an IMAP/SMTP proxy for the iPhone, relaying into WebDAV requests - the same
protocol used by Microsoft

Outlook Web Access (OWA).

The iPhone is just the latest device supported by Synchronica\'s Mobile Gateway
middleware, which enables mobile

synchronization with a wide range of smartphones and mass market feature phones from
Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and other

leading manufacturers. Mobile Gateway is based entirely on open industry standards,
including IMAP (LEMONADE) for

push email and SyncML (OMA DS) for synchronization of calendar and contact data.

Synchronica\'s Mobile Gateway 3.0 provides carrier-grade push email and
synchronization services for both consumers

and business users. Serving consumers, it includes back-end support for POP3 and
IMAP, connecting to popular mail

services such as AOL or Google Mail. For business users, it provides built-in
support for Microsoft Exchange, Lotus

Notes, and Sun JES, thereby reaching the majority of business users\' mail systems.
