Autonomy Moves Into 3G Market With First Customer, Hutchison 3G

date: February 28, 2002

Autonomy Corporation plc, a developer in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced a strategic new sector for its technology, third generation wireless communication (3G), and marked its foray into this strong market with a significant new customer. Hutchison 3G, holder of many of the world's largest third generation mobile phone licenses, has selected Autonomy's infrastructure technology for the development of its new 3G network throughout Europe and Asia.

Autonomy has a unique infrastructure technology that automates operations on unstructured, semi-structured and structured information and can be applied to a wide range of applications regardless of the industry. The Hutchison deployment reflects the culmination of Autonomy's extensive research and development efforts in 3G wireless communication standards.

Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) and interface Portal-in-a-Box, will enable Hutchison to classify and deliver unique, location-specific information from hundreds of sources, including live news, e-commerce, sport and entertainment, such as music-on-demand. The software will improve the consumer experience, ensuring that navigations present the most accurate information at the right time, through the right channels and in the most user-friendly format.

Employing Autonomy's technology, Hutchison 3G will minimize traditional labor and maintenance overheads associated with information processing to provide consumers with a single entry point from their mobile and handheld devices to its robust, vibrant network. With a strong commitment to Autonomy's unique infrastructure for 3G wireless communication networks, initial deployments will occur in the United Kingdom and Italy, with future rollouts scheduled for Austria, Sweden, Hong Kong and Australia.

According to Colin Tucker, Managing Director, Hutchison 3G, Autonomy's infrastructure software was selected because of its unique ability to integrate unstructured, semi-structured and structured information in multiple languages and formats: "As the amount and type of data supported by the 3G network increases, we needed a scaleable solution," said Tucker.

"Due to the display and bandwidth requirements of mobile phones and handheld devices, Hutchison 3G needed a solution that could deliver highly relevant information in real-time to their subscribers," said Dr. Mike Lynch, CEO and co-founder of Autonomy. "Autonomy will provide a scaleable infrastructure that automatically links related information as it becomes available."
