Royal Tunbridge Wells, October 15, 2007. - Synchronica plc (AIM: SYNC.LN), the mobile synchronization and device management company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with a subsidiary of one the largest mobile operator groups in the Middle East and Africa region, to licence its Mobile Gateway and Mobile Backup products.

Under the contract, Synchronica will receive a licence fee of USD 400,000 for 200,000 user licences for Synchronica Mobile Gateway 3.0, which offers subscribers push email and contacts, calendar, task and notes synchronization, as well as 100,000 licences for Synchronica Mobile Backup product, which provides backup and restore capability.

Synchronica's Mobile Gateway has a unique zero footprint architecture, which requires no software installation behind the corporate firewall or on the handset, and can be used on both smartphones and, more importantly, on mass market feature phones. Synchronica believes that this translates into a compelling advantage, in particular in emerging markets where the vast majority of devices are feature phones.

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica said: "This deal marks another important breakthrough for Synchronica and validates our strategy of targeting network operators in emerging marketswhere mobile operators have the opportunity to make the mobile phone the primary device for accessing the internet. This market is booming at present, and Synchronica is very confident that this important step into the Middle East and Africa will be the first of many."
